Countdown To Lilian’s Custom Wedding

February 28, 2007March 31, 2022 sweet surrender 11 Comments

Got the invitation. The custom wedding day is coming soon in few hours time. I’m not the “ji mui” for tomorrow hehehe… I’m there to take photos, just being nosy. If I’m the “ji mui” I won’t be able to follow her back home. Aaccording to her mum, the “ji mui” have to stay at the groom’s house while the bride goes home. “Ji mui” is the bride’s troop. “Ji mui” is in Cantonese and “Jie mei” in Mandarin. Both mean “sisters”.

I went over to her houes today to take some photos to save my battery tomorrow. Also, it’s daytime, bright enough, so it’s easier to take photos. However, I’m so absent minded. I forgot to take photos of her album and her heels. I’ll take tomorrow then.

Here’s her gown and accessories for tomorrow. Not sure why she has two pairs of gloves.

These are the things that will be going to the groom’s house with her.

By the way, she doesn’t even have the idea of her schedule tomorrow. *LOL* Only know when she will need to start her makeup, hairstyling session, and reach the groom’s house before 9am.

Surprisingly, there will be no tea ceremony for the bride’s side. Something new… GOOD! I hate tea ceremony hahaha… Again… I don’t want this in my wedding. According to her mom, they don’t need it as they are of certain dialect group. I can’t remember which one. Hmm… I thought all Chinese dialect groups will have tea ceremony for wedding hahaha… But this one doesn’t have. Cool…

Related post: Kuching Bloggersâ€™ Meet 2007

I didn’t take much photos last night and didn’t really mingle around too. I only stayed put at my seat and didn’t move until it’s time to go home. Not really in the mood really as something made me upset yesterday before the meet.

Ivan, Mike, Frankie, and Grace reached there about 7.30pm. Then at about 8.30pm or so, more and more coming but I only manage to know Alex. Only greeted Anna but didn’t talk to her.

Basically in this post, I’ll be posting some candid shoots and come out with some funny(or not funny at all) captions. No offence ok? Just for fun. Feel free to share your creativity with us.

Alex: Ahh~~ Duckie!
UnkerHo: Not this duck again?
Alex: I want take photo with it. *pose, Tarlia takes photo*
UnkerHo: This say kia(kids in Hokkien), really no respect one. Treat me like I’m invisible.

Left:
Anna busy with her mobile phone. Ann spotted me taking photo. The rest mind their own business.
Right:
Grace: Frank, Frank, Irene takes photo.*smile*
Frank: I’m busy… Hmmm…

Left:
Jimmy: I’m sleepy…
Frank: Hmmm…
Right:
Camwhore time! I’m not sure who is the girl in orange. She accompanied Anna to the meet.
This is the first time I showed up at the meet without makeup :p Hahahah…

Alex and Robin were so happy because I took their photos 😛
Right:
UnkerHo: Cannot do this arrr Ken, cannot do that arrr… *nag nag nag*
Grace: OOooOoo…
Frank: Hmmm…
Ken: *Scratch eyebrow*

That’s all for the meet. You notice something in the photo? Frank was so engrossed with his camera. Hahaha…

Chinese New Year 2007 – Day 3 (Group Visiting)

February 20, 2007February 21, 2007 sweet surrender 3 Comments

It’s our group visiting session today! I miss it very much. It’s only once a year, only during CNY. Usually it’s on the 4th day of CNY but this year due to short holiday that most people have, many are going back to work tomorrow, we had the session today. However, not many people in our group this year. Many had last minute commitment. What to do? Short holiday, everyone was fully booked and you could only choose to be in one group. Unlike previously, you could go out with one group on the 3rd day, then another group on the 4th day. Too bad… Summore, 1st and 2nd day are usually reserved for family and relatives for most people. As for me? Hahaha… Anytime can do.

We had Nick with us this year. He’s always missing in our group photo as he’s working in KL and it’s not easy to meet up with him even if he’s back coz he has too many friends to entertain. Something special this year, Nick has moved to new house!!! We had Michael, Audrey’s friend, joining us. We started from my house instead of Lee’s. Lee Ling couldn’t make it this year. However, we managed to visit her. Hui Yee couldn’t join too. Had pizza at Khoon How’s house and everyone got hook on wasabi nuts at Nick’s house. Audrey joined us but we didn’t go to her house due to some unforeseen circumstances. We ended the visiting session earlier than the passed years.

Last but not least, our group photo

Back row(L-R): Michael, Audrey, Ann, Jee.
Front row(L-R):Khoon How, Nick, Me, Lee.

One more photo, yesterday’s photo. Taken at Alysha’s house. My face was so oily.
L-R: Jimmy, Me, Alysha.

I guess that’s all for CNY visiting posts. No more visiting plan, I think… We’ll see how tomorrow. It’s back to work for most people tomorrow. I should start with my work too 😛

Chinese New Year 2007 – Day 1 (Lion Dance)

February 18, 2007February 20, 2007 sweet surrender 11 Comments

Before the clock striked twelve, there were already fireworks and firecrackers everywhere, these were just warm ups even though it rained, few minutes before 12, it’s getting more intense and lasted for almost 1 hour. Some shoots, no tripod, so don’t expect any nice photos hahaha…

I woke up at about 10am this morning 😛 Hahaha… Woke up at 7.30am and then went back to sleep. Around 2pm, I went to Jimmy’s house for a short visit before going over to Lee’s house to watch lion dance performance. We were invited to withness the lion dance by Lee. Even if he didn’t invite us, we would be visiting him too. Nothing to do at home. So bored. I’ve been visiting Lee’s house on the first day ever since few years back. Then second visit when we had our group visiting. I did mention that I’m going to hunt for lion dance this year *LOL* Now I got it! Here’s the photos to share with you, not much, just a few shoots coz the rest are almost the same.

The troop reached Lee’s house at 3pm and shortly after we arrived, they started. First they let off firecrackers to start the dance. The lions danced at the main gate and gradually into the house. I was choked by the firecrackers smoke. *cough cough* By the way, fireworks and firecrackers are banned in Malaysia but I don’t think anyone cares about the ban.

Inviting or to be exact hiring lion dance troop to dance at your house or shop or office is to bring in luck. You will pay them by putting the money into the red packet a.k.a ang pao. Usually people will offer pamelo and cabbage together with the ang pao. The lion will peel the pamelo and the cabbage, then take the ang pao(see the bottom right photo).

After Lee’s house, we went to Jimmy’s house. At about 6pm, we called it a day. I’m still not really in CNY mood -_-“

KFC Variety Bucket with Mirinda Strong Orange

February 12, 2007February 12, 2007 sweet surrender 8 Comments

It’s my mom birthday yesterday and she said that she wants to eat KFC, so we went to Tabuan Jaya KFC for dinner. Ordered a Variety Bucket and add-on a bottle of Mirinda Strong Orange 1.5L.

The newly renovated KFC is different from the usual KFC. The chairs are different. In conjunction of CNY, the outlet was heavily decorated with CNY stuff. Hahaha… I think this is the most decorated KFC outlet in Kuching. Not sure about other places. Lately only hang out at Tabuan Jaya and Sarawak Plaza KFC.

The content of Variety Bucket:
– 3 pcs OR chicken
– 3 pcs Hot & Spicy chicken
– 1 Potato Wedges (L)
– 2 Whipped Potato (R)
– 6 pcs Kentucky Nuggets
– 6 pcs Fish Fingers

This is the first time I’m having KFC using “paper plates” and plastic fork & knife (-.-“) Save cost and manpower eh?
