Yean's Birthday Celebration

Thursday, 2 October 2014

I am so happy to be able to be present for Yean's birthday celebration.    And we have Nehemia's brother to cook for us as well.   He is a cook by profession.   And Nehemia cooked also, for her beloved husband.

Jeff started at 10 am and completed his cooking by 7:30 pm, as we have only one cooking place - a electric plate.   This place was rented for a single person and little cooking.   Anyway, it was fun.  We just use whatever we have, to feed 20 people, with whatever utensils we have.

Happy Birthday Yean!

We have ten dishes: Shanghai rolls, bread rolls, Rellenong Bangus (stuffed milk fish), Cordon Bleu, Filipino sushi, Afritada, Gizzard Sisig, Ceviche (Kinilaw na dory), pasta/sauce/cheese and chop suey.

Shanghai Rolls - filled with cooked meat & vegetables - deep fried

Bread rolls filled with cheese, ham & carrot - deep fried

Rellenong Bangus (stuffed milk fish)

Cordon Bleu - deep fried breaded chicken with hotdogs, etc.

Wedding Walks

Saturday, 5 October 2013

I was happy to hear that Hurricane Karen was reduced to tropical storm Karen, but nevertheless prayed that the wedding ceremony and reception will be spared of rain.    Except for a minute or so of drizzle during the walks down the aisle, the ceremony and reception was great.

The rehearsal walk the afternoon of 4 October.

Father did not want his baby to get wet during this important walk in her life.

Wedding Anniversary

Saturday, 30 April 2011

We decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary today. Mike wanted to go to Red Lobster restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. To save cost, we agreed to buy and cook ourselves.

Mike boiled the lobster, crab legs, clams and prawns while I braised the fish. Mike also steamed the broccoli with shredded cheese.

Memorial Service

Wish there are happier occasions to see the Aunts, Uncles and cousins in one place. So far my experience of seeing them were at memorial services. This was at Phyllis's memorial service in Bristow, Oklahoma.

I like this picture of this fragile loving couple - Uncle CN & Aunt Lorraine!

Mike is a Year Older!

Saturday, 4 September 2010

Lian and Yean took Mike (and me) to a Chili's Grill and Bar restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. We had to wait about 1 hour but it is worth it. A complimentary dessert/cake for the Birthday Boy. Mike is older in age, but he is definitely young in heart.

Yean Boleh Also!

Saturday, 7 August 2010

3 years ago, Yean's sister, Lian, received her Bachelor degree in Pharmacy. This day, it is Yean's turn. Lian boleh! Yean boleh also! (N.B. Boleh in Malay means 'Can" In the phrases here, it means "Can Do It". Yean received his Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering from the KLIUC (Kuala Lumpur Infrastructure University College).

The night before - hair cut.

Good friends helping with the gown.
