Christmas is Coming!

It's almost my favourite time of the year and that's Christmas! (^__^) A time to celebrate with friends and family. To add to the festive occasion, it's snowing in London and it's freezing cold! (-_-)

Today, I recieved an early Christmas card made by my 2 little cousins. This ain't no ordinary Christmas card. When I looked at it, I was completely puzzled what the card was. My cousin said to me the picture at the front is a witch with a Hello Kitty next to it. No idea where she got the idea from but I hope she don't think I'm the witch. (-_-)

Opening the card is a chocolate wrapper without the chocolate of course and underneath is a cutout from a catalog. Hmm........I must say, very suspicious.

Analyzing the the cutout carefully like a detective, I see the stock number written above and below it with a heart. This is basically a hint saying "I LOVE this toy so make sure you buy it for my Christmas present!" Well all I can say is, kids are either getting smarter or she is an absolute genius. I mean what better way to tell someone what you want for Christmas by making a card like this. If I had thought of this idea when I was a kid then I wouldn't be stuck with all those unwanted presents like pencil cases and calligraphy pens. (-_-)

Anyway, that's the end of my post and most likely the last one for this year so have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Wedding Bells Are Ringing...

...well not for me of course. Last week Sunday, my good ol' friend Yen got married. I've known her for almost 8 years now and she's my first friend to get married. It makes me feel kinda old now, knowing that one day it'll be my day. It was lavish and well-organised wedding. Enough food and drink for anyone to handle including me, whom sometimes gets accused of eating too much. Lucky for the overload of food otherwise I would have been seriously drunk. (^__^)

A lot to write but so little time because in less than 1/2 an hour will be the world cup final! I'm praying for a Holland win because I placed a small bet for them to win the cup during the qualifying stages. This is partly one of the reasons why I've not been able to update this blog because of World Cup fever. (^__^)

Anyway, I'll end this post with one point about about this wedding. When it comes to Chinese weddings. The one thing I really, really look forward to is eating the scrumptious succulent meat of a lobster. However, in this wedding I was extremely disappointed because the lobsters were deep fried. Oh my GOD! How can you deep fry a lobster? You might as well not have not killed it and let it live happily ever after. Deep fried prawns are tasty but deep fried lobster is a no no! Deep frying a lobster is like adding out of date milk to your cup of tea. It just won't taste good. The beautiful succulent taste is erased by the dry deep fried coating. (-_-)

That's all folks! I shall post again and update my holiday diary one day. (^__^)

The Hawaii of Korea [Jeju Island - Day 1] 16-3-10

Food Poisoning [Seoul - Day 4] 15-3-10

I wake up in the early morning and can hear the family are all awake. I felt ill, my stomach was not feeling good and I felt a bit sick. I had no appetite so I carried on resting and didn't eat breakfast. I hate this kind of feeling because you can put the most delicious food in front of me i.e lobster and I wouldn't be able to eat it. (-_-) Luckily, it was raining as I didn't have the energy to do anything so I was resting and sleeping most of the day. I needed to recuperate because I've not had much sleep and it's been a busy holiday so far. Rosalie's mum made me some spicy ramen for lunch with some side dishes (egg, tomatoes, mini sardines and kimchi). I still didn't have much of an appetite but forced myself to eat the side dishes as I needed some energy. Her mum is always really kind to me, she brought me some medicine and gave me Korean ginseng tablets to eat. Pretty much the rest of the day, I was only sleeping and resting. The next day, I would be flying to Jeju Island.  I was thinking it might not be possible which Rosalie's mum thought so too. I packed up anyway before I went to sleep, hoping the next day I would feel a lot better because I really wanna go to Jeju Island!
