My wedding time’s scheduled

After the discussion with my parents and future parents-in-law,my fiancée and I chose February 18th,the fifth day after Chinese New Year,holding our wedding event in Shanghai,China.We need to book the air tickets as soon as possible because that is a hot period for travelling.The fares have been increased compared to the normal days.

By AirAsia(KL to Hangzhou):

By Malaysia Airline(KL to Shanghai):

If you could afford a higher price in order to get some convenience and perhaps better services,Malaysia Airline will be the nice choice.The return ticket is pricing RM1700-RM1800 inclusive with all charges recorded on November 3rd,2009.

Guys,please inform me your schedule of your flights before November 15th,2009 so that I could have enough time to let travel agent give some offer to me.Thanks.

Though there are still 107 days to go,I think I’d better to make all things on the track first because I don’t want to regret anybody in the wedding event.

Wish all the best!

What’s a boy plunger?

We play Blackjack at home with some friends and family during holiday seasons,especially in Chinese New Year,for fun.The wager is under RM5(US$ 1.5) per hand.However,there are always a few people who can’t control themselves and thus loss with no ending.One of my girlfriend’s younger brother is that type of person.

wearing like Ninja to be an ultraman now...

an extreme new fashion... no words to say...

Merely this kind of fun could only be as a very good negative material.Greed,impatience and unconcentration make nothing successfully,including gambling.Therefore the pictures are only showing that the younger brother and his friend had been losing without control and so they deserved to die hard.This is so call ‘boy plunger’ and hopefully less and less people will be such a guy.

REMEMBER:DOING THINGS ONLY AFTER YOUR BRAIN.

Happy prosperity!

Movies in my list

Since cutting my expenses in order to get some savings in the past several months,I’ve seldom been in cinema for weeks.

Normally the beginning and the end of a year always is a peak period for releasing new movies,moreover,quite a number of movies are cartoons and comedies that I prefer.Thus,it could be a must-to-see list here for me.

1.Bolt

I like pet,especially doggy.This movie is a story about the brave and lovely super dog with his host.I feel this is a quite interesting theme and so those are the reasons that I want to go for the movie.In fact it has been on for weeks in Malaysia,I don’t think I can really see it in any cinema later.However,I will try my best to get a chance watching it,perhaps just be in front of my PC.

 

2.Red Cliff(Part 2)

Most Chinese people know this story.I had seen the first part in last year.Frankly speaking,it was just an epic movie featuring with magnificent sceneries.I also know that some people hunts out the movie because of those handsome/beautiful celebrities.Anyway,I only hope some surprises will come in this part.

 

3.All’s well,End’s well 2009

This becomes series of movies.This current 2009 version starring with famous Hong Kong comedians-Louis Koo, Ronald Cheng, Sandra Ng, Raymond Wong Pak Ming will continue to create extreme happy funny factors for audiences.I could say that it’s a right movie for a right timing(Chinese New Year).

 

4.Love Matters

It’s directed by Jack Neo-one of top Singaporean film-makers.I like his movie since he always links realities with movies.His cold jokes sometimes are exaggerated,but acutely pointing out some social matters.Really meaningful!

In this movie,three lines of words say everything:

People who lack of love are aspiring after it;

People who stay in love are unable to understand it;

People who have consistent love are failed to clearly see it.

No doubt that I’m willing to know what happens over this simple clue.It seems to be on in Malaysia in February 2009.

It’s a long list,isn’t it?Well,I’ll give out my points after seeing all.Stay tuned!

Chinese New Year 2009(3)

After 4 days,we’ll enter the new year in lunar calendar.It’ll be the year of Ox.

Zodiac-Ox

I born in the year of Ox 24 years ago.Some said that Chinese zodiac could be treated as a reference of signs of personal character.For an Ox-zodiac people,he/she may be said to be A born leader, you inspire confidence from all around you. You are conservative methodical, and good with your hands. Guard against being chauvinistic and always demanding your own way. The Ox would be successful as a skilled surgeon, general, or hairdresser.

I don’t want to dip into it as I think people can’t be easily set by the simple words.However,I can’t deny that some points are fitting definitely.Anyway,I always remind of myself that new year is a new start.I will throw all troubles away and bring happiness closely and then enjoy everyday!

Here,sending out another happy Chinese new year song,sang by Nick Chung-a Malaysian singer.

Do you like it? Happy Chinese New Year !    : )

Chinese New Year 2009(2)

This is the second wave for Chinese New Year 2009.I think a lot of Chinese over the world are counting down the date to the most important holiday-a reunion and a new start.

Although I can’t stay beside my family in the past several years,I still kept sending out my Chinese New Year card to them and to express my best wishes to them.They always arrange a family reunion dinner that gathering all the close relatives.I believe it’s the real meaning for Chinese New Year.

Happiness is the melody for Chinese New Year.Actually during the holiday,you could hear a lot of bright festive songs along the streets and avenues.Last time,I’d shared with you a nice song and now I get another good one.It’s produced by a group of new popular singers(from Astro) in Malaysia.Let’s have a look.

Do you like it?Yes,I am.I think more and more festive songs will be introduced in the coming days.We’re waiting for a wonderful holiday-just say no to mess and say yes to gladness.

Midwinter

Today is Midwinter which is the last one of the solar terms in lunar calendar.Frankly speaking,my family never celebrate this day as perhaps we are not so traditional and in fact we’re always quite busy on our own business.The first time I noticed this holiday was the first year in Malaysia.At that time,my girlfriend’s whole family dined together which was like a scene of Chinese New Year.

Midwinter

In Chinese history,from Han Dynasty(BC 220),people started to celebrate Midwinter as a festival.At that time,all business stopped and people visited their friends and families by complimenting some find foods away in order to have a peaceful and happy day.From Tang Dynasty(AD 618),it evolved to be a day to worship ancestor.I heard till now there are still some places having this tradition.

Speak of foods in Midwinter,some distinctions exists between different areas in China.In the north(Eg. Beijing),typically they eat wonton during the holiday;in Jiangnan(Eg. Shanghai),we traditionally eat dumplings with sugar/pork/sweetened bean paste/sesame/Osmanthus fragrans etc.Of course,a bottle of rice wine and a dish of traditional pastry are the best combination too.Thus we can see that in former time,Shanghainese were very liquorish,especially for an important date.

For me,I think it is a good chance to gather the whole family to share fun and sadness,to have a close communication with each other,to link the family to be tighter and tighter.To all Chinese,have a great holiday!
