Special day

Yesterday I met up with Jennifer and her husband. I have been reading her blog since 2009 and vice versa. They are a lovely couple and I had a great time talking with them.

Jennifer gave me a nice gift.

Tea from Hanoi, just nice to drink after a heavy meal.

Jennifer treated me to a very delicious meal too - Taiwanese beef glass noodle with lots of vegetables in it, pancake and tea.

Last but not least, of course I had a wonderful time on this special day. Thank you both very much and I am looking forward to our next meeting to treat you both to a yummy meal in return.

Nice message

Clean

One of my favourite dish is steamed tilapia fish in minced fresh ginger as below. I could eat one all by myself. When I am done, it will be bye bye fish (please refer to the 2nd photo below).

All ready to be eaten

Did I do a good job? Can you spot the skull?

Aha! another surprise from Wenn. Thanks Wenn. :)

Who sent me this?

Oh, it is the kind lady, Wenn. :)

Sweets, coffee and tea

Rainbow

The photo below was taken on May 26, 2013 (Sunday) around 7pm. As it was near dusk, my photo did not show the rainbow clearly. The last time I saw a rainbow was back in 2010 and I blogged about it here. 

When I went home, I noticed that many of my friends have seen the same rainbow too and posted photos of it online. It just shows that even though we are in different places, we all live under the same sky. The rainbow really brought home this point.

Surprise!

About 3 weeks ago, I received a nice postcard from Wenn. I was not expecting it so it was a pleasant surprise for me. So I decided to send a small token of appreciation to Wenn without informing her about  it to give her a surprise too. :)

A surprise for Wenn

High up

The photos in my previous post did not show clearly the position of the CNY decors. So in this post, here are some photos that show clearly that the red frames with the birds and flowers were hung from the ceiling and appeared to be floating in the air. Please click on the photos to view a bigger version.

I also like the ground CNY decors where they put large flowers behind translucent screens giving the whole setup a mysterious feel. It is like you can see the flowers, but you can't see it clearly so you have to walk closer to it and peer through the screen or walk to its side and look at the flowers from the side opening. Really a great idea to attract people. Next CNY, I will be back for the decors! :)

Came across these photos of CNY decors that I took early this year and decided to post them up.
