christmas eve

Stella and I hated to be in the crowd, so we decided to have a peaceful night at home instead.
while people queuing up in high class restaurant in their best dress, we just went downstairs kopitiam dabao some dishes from the mix rice stall.

the dinner was good, just a little too much that we can't finish all.



had a little red wine for the dinner, and we decided to watch a movie after that.
I suggested to watch "before sunrise" and "before sunset" coz they are Stella's favourite movies.

this is not the first time I watch the movies, just that I fall of sleep the previous time I watch them. now that I have subtitle for the movies, I managed to finish them all this time round.




I don't think I'd ever finish any of them if I were to watch them individually, but when put them together, it's an interesting story...

the first movie (1995) is about a guy and a gal met in a train. the guy had to fly back to US and the gal was heading to paris(?), but they decided to spend the few hours together in Vienna before they apart. well this is just a beautified one-night-stand story to me, doesn't really turn me on. the movie ended at the couple made a promise to meet each other again 6 months later at the same place.

the second movie (2004), before sunset, was 9 years after the first movie... the actor and actress are older now (both in the movie and real life). it's interesting to see the changes of their lives, and also changes of their character and personality.

basically it is just showing the couple talking and ranting for the whole movies, but it's interesting to watch them together. if watching individually... i'd recommend u to give it a pass... :P

oh by the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

my korean wedding: part 2

不好意思,各位久等了
最近很忙,到现在才有时间更新,呵呵

第二部分的婚礼通常只有家人和亲戚能出席
其他朋友如果有安排的话就会被带去吃饭,不然就会直接回家吃自己

这一部分韩语叫"pae bek",中文是“幣帛”。。。
我也不知道是什麽意思,可能是要用钱买新娘吧,呵呵

ladies and gentlemen, here comes the part 2!!! he he...
sorry for being late, was very very bz lately

the second part of the wedding ceremony was held in a small hall
it's only for family and close relatives... other friends and colleagues normally will not be attending to this session

this session is called "pae bek" in korean, in chinese it's called "帛"


刚开始先正襟危坐拍拍照
first we sat at the front of the hall, simply just posing and take photos


类似华人婚礼,我们也要给父母敬酒(不是茶喔),当然也有拿红包啦,呵呵
similar to chinese tradition, we need to bow and serve wine (not tea!) to my parents, and they gave us ang pao in return.


敬酒过后我们俩就要从两边拉一块布来接我妈向我们抛来的栗子和红枣
栗子是儿子,红枣是女儿。我们接到了三颗栗子,表示我们将会有三个儿子 :P

接下来我们就向stella的父母、我的家人然后她的家人与亲戚敬礼和敬酒

then my mum were asked to throw some chestnuts(?) and red dates to us, and we were suppose to catch em with the cloth as seen in the photo. the number of chestnuts and red dates caught means the number of son/ daughter we'll have.

chestnuts means son, red dates means daughter
we got 3 chestnuts, which means we'll have 3 sons, ho ho...

then we bow and serve wine to my parents-in-law
and then followed by my family members and stella's family

接下来的仪式很有趣
stella咬着红枣的一端我咬着另一端,然后两边一起扯
咬到红枣核的就是有话事权’的人。。。我输了 orz。。。

after bow and serving wine to the people, it's our turn to drink!
and then, stella need to bite a red date, and i had to bite from the other end of it and pull
whoever got the seed will be the one in power... and stella got the seed...
see how happy she laugh, and bitter smile on my face... ha ha

权力大战后,接下来我就要背着新娘子绕场一周
整个仪式到此正式结束

和家人拍照后就换衣整装到附近的酒店吃安排好的自助餐
因为接下来要赶到机场去济州岛,所以我们俩只能囫囵吞枣胡乱吃点东西填填肚子
可是酱也给了我很好的借口不用跟她的韩国亲戚对酒,呵呵~

after the power struggle, I'll have to carry stella at the back and walk round the table
till then, the ceremony was considered completed.
we then went out from the hall and take photos with our families.

after changing, we went to a hotel nearby to have buffet dinner
we didn't really enjoy the great food because we needed to rush to airport to catch the flight to Jeju Island to start our honeymoon trip
but that gave me a good excuse not to drink with the korean family... that's really lucky, he he...

next... we off to Jeju Island for our honeymoon...
to be continue, he he

the Phantom Menace... er.. i mean Opera

went to watch the Phantom of the Opera last sunday
it's not the movie, but Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical
and it was awesome!

i first heard of the musical when i was in high school, when my brother bought the CD for it. the CD was lost after that, but the music remains in my memory.

the musical was performed in Singapore back in 1995
i remember the advertisement on TV then but that's something far beyond my reach, i thought.


took the photo in the theatre before the play start

i was amazed by the stage design, sometimes i just have to remind myself that it's a stage play. especially the scene where they were on the boat, it look so real!

it's worth to watch, even though i have to save money on other things for the next few months...

如果還有明天

我們都有看不開的時候 總有冷落自己的舉動
但是我一定會提醒自己 如果還有明天

我們都有傷心的時候 總不在乎這種感受
但是我要把握每次感動 如果還有明天

如果還有明天 你想怎樣裝扮你的臉
如果沒有明天 要怎麼說再見

如果你看出我的遲疑 是不是你也想要問我
究竟有多少事沒有做 如果還有明天

如果真的還能夠有明天 是否能把事情都做完
是否一切也將雲消煙散 如果沒有明天

如果還有明天 你想怎樣裝扮你的臉
如果沒有明天 要怎麼說再見

作詞:劉偉仁 作曲:劉偉仁 唱:薛岳


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



那天听了阿信的《如果还有明天》后
忽然心血来潮上网查了查原唱者薛岳的资料
读了之后又找了薛岳版的《如果还有明天》来听

跟好些翻唱版不同,信保留了原版的精髓
并没有把歌曲改得面目全非
新旧版各有各的好

半夜一个人戴着耳机重复了好几遍
听到薛岳的声音还是会深深感动
如此勇敢的人 以灼熱的生命唱出最后之歌

being eskimo

went to this pub in Holland V called Eski Bar last Friday
didn't intend to go, or didn't even know about this place actually
we just found this place after drinking at the other pub
one of the guy went back earlier so we just wanted to look for another quieter place for second round

this is a very 'cool' place indeed
as the name suggest, there's a special room is actually -0 degree
it's icy cold in there and u can see smoke come out from ur mouth
they provide coat/ jacket there in case it's too cold for you

we had a bacardi 151 each
have not tried this b4, and i was amazed of the strong alcohol
75.5% of alcohol!!! i can actually flame it up with lighter!

柬埔寨之旅 第二天 日出篇

起了个大早
凌晨五点就提灯(手电筒)摸黑
在黑暗中亦步亦趋
凭着微弱的灯光跟着前面依稀的身影
虔诚的缓步前进

抵达目地点后随意站开
当天空渐渐透出微光之际
才发现四周都有人
静待那第一道曙光

天空慢慢转亮
渐渐描绘出吴哥窟的身影
艳丽的荷花将黑白的回忆画面拉回现实
平和又壮观
不搭的只是旁边安娣的道人长短









在这吃早餐与上厕所要小心
他们砍人之惨烈令人心惊
我们遭痛宰的惨状
可能跟吴哥窟古时的战争有得比



叫了三碟面、四条面包、五杯茶和四条香蕉
竟然要价美金十九大元
注意看照片,箩卜还发霉了~

去厕所的价钱起落比股价还快
从柬币一千(合美金约两毛半)到美金一元都有
就看那看厕所的臭小子看你顺不顺眼啦



上完厕所要水洗手还开价一美元
说不要转身欲走时他又改口说是免费的
真被他玩死

特地拍下他的照片
看谁下次去可以帮我打他一顿

柬埔寨之旅 第一天

Siem Reap International Airport


抵达后暹粒后,刚出机场就看到有人高举我们其中一人的名牌
第一次有人接机,感觉还真不错

美金15一晚的旅舍,老实说原本还真不敢有所期待
但小小旅舍虽然不是美伦美焕,却也足以让我惊為天人
没有奢華的设施,却看到用心的装铈与布置
旅舍还提供免費咖啡、茶、香蕉及免費上网

Beautiful guest house


用餐时跟旅舍员工聊了聊
得了不少有用的资讯
还为我们介绍和安排了司机与行程

吃完简单午餐后
我們到附近的 去匆匆逛了逛
然后就启程到 去遊船河
那Tonle Sap湖真是大得可怕
还真怀疑那到底是湖还是海

一望无际的湖
亲切的水上人家
Floating market
年轻的船夫


上岸后司机就载我们去买第二天进吴哥窟的入门票
接着我们就驱车准备看日落
一路上人群络不绝,登上山头时更是人山人海
是时太阳已开始下山,好位置都被先来者占了
看见美丽的夕阳,我就忘我的登高蹿低想要找好位置拍照
照片拍了不少,才发觉都没有好好欣赏落日
在柬埔寨要时时提醒自己不能只顾着拍照呵
