Harshad’s Mama in Town

October 10, 2010 Leave a comment

We had our first “lonely quiet weekend” without the Ho and Chua families. Thankfully, Harshad’s family is in town. Meet Mama Harshad and his very beautiful sister-in-law and niece. Harshad sure does look like his Mama. (Nope, I am a good host today – I didn’t spill the beans to his Mum about his “drinking disorder” and naughty deeds in Dongguan. Of course, we talk a little about finding a wife for my Indian buddy…Hahaha…) Harshad treated us to a very nice Indian Curry restaurant at Causeway Bay this evening. I can’t wait to introduce Elkan to his new pretty friend.

An International Celebration

October 10, 2010 Leave a comment

Selina celebrated her birthday last Friday with her “international colleagues”. We are truly the “Global Team” – there are at least 8 different nationalities working under one roof. Sadly, the Malaysians were gone… if not, the party would have been bigger and wilder. Later that night, Selina brought us to a very nice dining place. With Harshad around, the trio went drinking <again> and returned home “light-headed”!

24 hours in Taipei – with Hovman!

October 3, 2010 1 Comment

Can’t really get used to the “sudden desertion and loneliness” – Just 24 hours ago, I was celebrating my cousin’s wedding and having late night suppers with my all buddies in Singapore- and now, I was roaming the streets alone, thousands of miles away in Taipei. By sheer coincidence (and blessing), Felicia found out on Facebook that my good friend Hovman is also in Taipei today!  I quickly contacted Hovman and we managed to meet up for some really yummy “street-delicacies”. Our dinner? Standing / sitting and eating by the roadside at Xi-Men-Ding. Thanks for his brotherly companionship – Life cannot be any better and luckier for me!

(Photo Taken: Newton Circle, Singapore – Guess where we went right after Leon’s wedding? Thanks to Meijie and Joanne for another wee hours “farewell” supper! How to lose weight under such “eating conditions”?)

When (Play)Boy Becomes Man

October 3, 2010 1 Comment

When Leon announced his wedding plans 4 months ago, many of us couldn’t believe it. He was a notorious playboy of our clan. After years of waiting and “nagging”, Leon finally tied the knot with his Xiamen sweetheart, Qiaoqiao last night at the Traders’ Hotel Orchard.

Growing up with Leon was never easy. He was the lead prankster, a very street-smart leader who often got the kids into serious trouble. My cousin Leon was a very successful playboy or you call him a natural charmer – he has the height, the 6-pack and a very very seductive smile. Girls of all ages, races simply flocked to him. (Yes, I am jealous cos I have to work so hard to woo the girls. With Leon around, I can never get girls – that is why I hardly hang out with him after Secondary 4. Haaaa)

Every playboy has his day. A day when (play)boy becomes man. It was only through his best-man we found out about those “super un-playboy’s deeds” that Leon has done for his wife. He tattooed her name on his body, he jumped into a river just to prove his love for her…and god knows how many more unlikely stunts my cousin did for his love one. (Well, at least we know he really really love his wife! And he finally found a good match!)

It was a wonderful and enjoyable evening with all the friends and relatives. Once again, congrats to my Auntie Amy and Uncle Benny! All the best, Cousin Leon and Qiaoqiao. Great speech by the way! (And Chester – you will be in the spotlight soon! Better fix it soon lah. Those aunties are coming…)

Ice Ice Braty

(Photo Taken: National Geographic’s Freezing Chamber at Vivo City – We thought this is one good way to keep a hyperactive child still. Elkan was jumping wildly and having a good time in the minus-2-degree glass box. He attracted more attention than ever. We decided to let this brat out of his cage.)
