Annabella's Birthday (1 years old)

Happy birthday Annabella, Your ah ku is about to blog about you haha.

Yesterday I went Kl at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, destination "FULLHOUSE" A very nice and clean white cafe. Annabella's parents(my sister and brother-in-law) decided to have a memorable party for Annabella and to make this a fairytale and princess like party. I was really impressed really by all the preparation done, it was so beautiful.

I was asked to snap a lots of photo with LEICA D-Lux 4, such a expensive camera was in my hand hahaha, I was quite careful and hold it with my life. I love to snap photos, even though i don't have the experience as a real camera man.


Me and my family had a wonderful time, even though we as family and cousin don't usually meet everyday, but no matter how far we didn't met, our relationship still close as ever.



Annabella was having a great time herself, she refuse to sleep and even rest haha, she just having fun with people and give a sweet smile to everyone that greets her. Annabella turning to 1 years old now, by the time she is my age, I will be forty! haha really uncle David sigh... but anyway, I am truly blessed with such loving nephew and nience.

My beloved “butter Prawn” story

I love the sea food meal call "butter Prawn" it is amazing delicious and the way to cook and presentation is just beautiful. I first ate butter prawn if i remember well, it is from my grandma, she love us and she knows i love her butter prawn. So in every-time i will visit her and saying, " grandma! grandma! can i have prawn??" of course she will cook it for me, when she cooks , the aroma of the butter just fill the whole house. The best thing was it is cook only for me!! no one to share!! Muahahaha(evil laugh)
Well my grandma isn’t around anymore… i do miss her a lot . But she did leave me a mark that i will remember her forever, even i become a grandpa. She left me a "seafood allergic" ha-ha.. really maybe because i ate too much in the past, now if i take over a limited seafood, especially prawns. I tongue will feel itch. " I love you grandma!! I will always remenber you grandma and your butter prawns!!"
ps:
My dad cooks the best butter prawn now, other than my grandma. He even won the awards of the "curry prawn in claypot" in australia!! CHEF ROCKS!!

My childhoon thoughts about “old”

hmm…. Let me recall and tell you a true story about me. David(me) once upon a time which only 5 or 7 years old boy. I always being a crybaby kid and think a lot about getting old, not for me but mostly to my mom and dad.
I love my parents. And i am very close to my mom and she always chat with me and i love to ask stupid question and funny one, which make me laugh out loud whenever my mom answer me with stupid answer too haha, especially "where babys come from".. ahemm hahah.
My childhood is quite interesting for me to know, or interesting enough. So i watch alot of movies, from horror to drama. So i can proudly say, now have none of the horror movie can haunt me now. So that one question always in my mind during my childhood, about getting old one day and pass on.. like what in the movie showing. And the sign of getting old is white hair… and the worse is my mom always ask me to get rid of her white hair… soo means she is getting old and she will pass away in time..
I don know what to do…. all i do is cry when on one is seeing. I cry everyday and every 7pm or 8pm. I choose that time because it is the most quiet and the only time i can go into the dark room and cry to myself because i don know what to do… i being crying to myself in a long long time almost everyday in few months.
And one day.. both of my sister realized, maybe because i cry to loud or maybe i being crying almost everyday in a same time in the room. So my sisters ask me,, when i cry? i just answer.." I don wanna mom to die….(sob loudly). they wanted for me to stop and comfort me with this "beautiful lie" haha.. well it is.. they told me this," people don get old.. hong(my name)… they just coloured it" and i believed them lol… how silly i was… but they did make me stop crying by saying a lie haha.
