Pearly’s BIG Day!

Finally I have the time to do this post. This is going to be a happy because it was the BIG day of one of my beautiful babes! She had longed told us to keep that date free as it was the day of her to officially becomes Mrs. Ting. Also, it was an honour for me to be one of her eleven ji muis on the day of her wedding.

Well, it was a last minute invitation and I almost failed to make it. Of course I did not prepare or come up with anything. I wish I did though. I would if I was informed earlier.

There were four rounds that Mr. Ting had to go through before he could officially bring our dear friend back home:

First, he had to get signatures and wishes from the neighbours.

Second, he had to get one of his heng tais to use his toes to grab cards out from a freezing icy cold of pail of water.

Third, he had to read out an oath as well as signed them which I had attached with the video below.

Alan’s oath to Pearly

Last but not least, he had to choose the right ribbon that is tied to his bride else punishment awaits which is borne by his heng tais.

That evening was a beautiful evening for the newly wedded pair. They did look tired. I believe they must have dreaded for a long rest after this day is over.

Anyway, congratulations to both!

Spring Festival 2012

Another year had passed and before you know it, Chinese New Year came knocking your door. It happened really fast. Well, for me. And of course I would not miss this chance to go back hometown to gather with my family and friends. Best of all, he is coming back with me this time. And what’s waiting for me back home?

Food, of course! I really love family reunion dinner on the Chinese New Year’s Eve night. All of us came together, surrounded our big round table and had dinner together. It was good to be home.

Then it’s firework! Sibu is really famous for this due to our giasu-sm. I never missed to celebrate Chinese New Year in my hometown and trust me, Sibu is definitely the best place to celebrate Chinese New Year.

What’s next? My dearest family members, of course! However, I did not get to spend too much time at home with them. Therefore, I am planning to head back hometown again this coming June, for my grandpa’s birthday. Will be back longer this time to spend more time with them.

Aforementioned, he went back to Sibu as well this Chinese New Year. He met my family members and good gracious, all of them sort of like him. I guess that is because he is from Sibu as well so, everything was good and went well. In fact, when I was already back in Penang, my family members asked him out to join them for dinner. Without me, alright?

But when he was back in Sibu had dinner with my family members, I was having dinner with his family members in Penang instead. It was a good night. We had really good and delicious Thai food. Though some dishes were spicy, they were good!

All in all, Chinese New Year was alright though I did not meet and spend a lot of time with my friends. Hope to have a better one next year which will be in February.

They Were Here!

It was back in January, a week before Chinese New Year, when both my mom and my baby brother came visiting me in Penang. Those were the time I was the happiest me! I laughed really loud and non-stop laughing.

We went eating together – I brought them to the places that I like and guess what? There are still more and they have to come back here again!

We went shopping together – I brought them to all the shopping malls I know Penang including the pet shops!

We even made wishes together – I brought them to a few places for sight-seeing. I wanted to try that new tram Penang just built but unfortunately for us, it is under maintenance on the day we went.

To be honest, I want them to come back again. I really had a good time. I really had fun. I really miss them now..
