Guo Da Li
We had our simple Guo Da Li (a chinese wedding custom, a procedure whereby the groom send the the bride's gift as requested by Bride's family) today.

Hao & parents came along in the morning with the following stuff - 2 bottles of wine - 12 oranges - 12 canned of pig trotters - 2 pairs of dragon & phoenix candles...

Home Sweet Home
There are a number of chinese customs to take note of when shifting in to a new house but we skip most of it. Chinese Customs And Culture For House Moving 8 Oct 2005 -- 1. Find a suitable auspicious day and time according to Tong Shu/Sheng (The Chinese Almanac); the selection of auspicious date should take into consideration of the birth data of the family members, but priority is given to the house-owner/patriarch. **We did not check any calendar but instead we chose a...
Wedding Updates
We went for the food tasting with our family on 12 Sept 09. Thank goodness we made a reservation in otherwise there probably wont be any seats. We stepped in and found ourselves back in time to the 1930 - 1960s where nightclubs were the in thing. Everything from the lightings, tables, chairs, lamp shades, dark wood flooring were reminiscent of a typical nightclub. Pretty much like those you see on TV when Shanghai Triad was aired. Completing the picture were the live band and...
Sept's Latest Update
A busy yet happy month with lots of new addition to our house. We had great fun after we setup our broadband - MIOtv.
The next addition to our house is the laundry system we installed to hang our clothes after wash. It is much safer and it really modernize the old concept.
One of our favourite addition came in after some squeezing at the Comex is a new family member - Timba. It is somewhat like a pet that feeds on electricity, but it does sweeps our floor while we are not at...
