A Danish-Indian Wedding

During my dad was down to KL 2 weeks ago...I attended a wedding dinner with him at Sheraton Imperial Hotel. It was his Danish friend's nephew who got married.

I've attended many Chinese weddings before...with 30-50 tables...also with the awful karaokes and delicious suckling pig. So, this is the first time I attend a danish-indian wedding...but mainly following the danish culture.

I had to go to the ladies...and since there was no one in there..i camwhored with the mirror. :P I hardly camwhore...so, appreciate this photo for once please? Hahaha...



The dress I wore was given by my dad like say...2-3 yrs ago. It's the 2nd time I wore it and the 1st time I wore it OUT from my house. :D


We had cocktail session for about an hour...and when the bride and bridegroom came...we had to throw these rice with heart shapes on them. They said the harder we throw, the more luck and happiness will befall on them. LOL.


The ambiance is different from a chinese wedding. It's much smaller...with around 20 tables...not round, but square..and some tables have only 2 person on it. European weddings are kept small and 'intimate'. :D

First time i see wedding cake which is pink and red in colour @.@

Our table....

The menu.....

I was impressed with the food. It's not heavy...and it's juuuuustttt nice for the stomach.

I'm sure Casey won't be satisfied with the food portion though. :P

Italian bread as a starter

1st...is the appetizer..

Honey cured Salmon with Basil air foam,
Buffalo mozzarella cheese with semi dried tomato, olive oil,
and
Deep fried oyster with tomato salsa.



Next is the main dish...


My dad's dish was
Braised beef short rib on Yellow polenta, micro cress and green asparagus



and I had
Roasted cod fish fresh basil sause, vegetable caponata and Fennel tomato salsa

Cody...i'm eating you :D
Fish...i'm eating you :D


Lastly, the desserts..

Villa Danieli's Tiramisu with tiramisu chocolate sticks,
Strawberry tartlet and
Citrus profiterole

They all look so round & cute on the long plate..

The Danish's way of saying Yam Seng like in the Chinese wedding...is "Skoal". So..it's very unusual for us to say "Skooooooooooooaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll" instead.

And another culture in Danish's wedding is the family members of the bridegroom will cut off his socks with a scissor which he's wearing. @.@ Very unusual....and when the Host asked what's the reason behind it..they can't answer though. So...there's the power of Google. And this is what I found: "The groom's socks are cut off at the toes or the end of his tie is cut off. It is said that this is so that the bride will have to prove that she can sew!"... -___-"

Another culture during the wedding which amused me was when the guests bang on their plates with their knife or fork, the wedding couple have to climb onto their chairs and kiss! That was very funny~~ Well, I found out that there's another culture, which we didn't practice it that night. It's when the guests stamp their feet, the pair have to kiss under the table. LOL~ Interesting, ain't it? :D

And this is their Danish cake...
Actually it looks like a Volcano :P
with flags on it..haha..so cute~

This is an example from the internet....


We can't find it in Malaysia's bakery shop...
so they made it by themselves...
and put Denmark and Malaysia flag on it...
HAHA...


Want a bite? :D

It's very sweet....made from sugar + almonds.

BTW...how's everyone doing with their lives?
I know it seems that no one is actually following the terms of once a month post anymore in this blog...
But I do hope someone do post up something soon. :D
Miss you guyss....
And i'll be back to Kuching next month..so see you all soon~!

Happy CNY ~~ !!

Hi Peeepsss...

Huuhuhuhuhu...Everyone's so busy with their own lives, we hardly update this blog d. :P Well, thanks to Koh Ping and Edwin...and me...this blog is still partially alive til now. :D Ahem..hinting to the rest who doesn't really update and share! *Always believe sharing is caring* :P Anyway...I'm just kidding. :)

I hope everyone had a good CNY and got blessed from receiving lots of ang pows (though it is more blessed to give than to receive....hehe).

These are the photos taken during the CNY that we managed to get together (except for Ping Ping who has to stay at Cheras for this year's CNY). Knowing that her daughter in her (also my god daughter) is growing strong and healthy...I guess this is gonna a good year for her and the people around her! ;) A baby tigress on the way!! Woohooo :P Scary baby... (Just kidding again)

Never fail to meet my cousin, Edwin each time I go back to Kuching!

So chubby d...hoho. *Poke poke*


And the rest of the guys...Ronald, Michael and Charles. Thanks, guys..for the time to meet up for lunch in the city even with the bad traffic.

Ha...all the Ex-Highians~~ All of them are from the science stream...only me. :X Surprised to see Hee Chien's balding. Used to be quite close with him during high school.

And Jenn...getting prettier each time I see her. Gosh...I realized my girlfriends are so good in dressing up and makeup, it makes me feel that I'm slacking in those area.

We were classmates during Form 1 til 3. Pretty close to each other. Missed those times~ We were at Starbucks, Jln Song for our last gathering. They ran out of milk during CNY!! How can that be....LOL. Ronald's going back to Australia, Mic's going back to NZ...Jason's thinking of going overseas to work...Ed's doing well in Ernst & Young and soon gonna complete his studies! Oh..and for me, I'm back to PJ. Hehe.


Well, not only humans get to collect ang pows!! Even Girl2 have ang pows! I left her to home boarding at PJ before I come back for CNY. They brought her go pai nien at Subang & Setia Alam and she got 2 ang pows!! RM2 each so total RM4...and I got her a dog treat using that money. :D

There....Girl2 enjoying her treat for CNY. :D :D Syiok nyerrr ~

KP’s first post in 2010 :P

Hey Pals,

sorry for not blogging for a loooooooooong long time.. was pretty busy back in November and December… let’s see.. what was happening and what’s up next :)

Back in November, I left my previous company and joined Microsoft as their Developer Evangelist… took me quite sometimes to adapt to my new job, newly wed life, and what not. Francis (aka my husband) was busy preparing his portfolio before leaving to Milan pursuing his career. So was I. LoL! Just got to know, being a wife and a girlfriend has total different level of commitment. Sleepless nights and what not… and time flown to December.

December was extremely tiring for me. With my baby growing, my hubby rushing to finalize his stuffs, helping him with odd stuffs, work getting busier, Christmas, and etc etc etc.. man.. life was crazy…i do miss those days that i have some spare time to go shopping, movie, makan-makan… with a blink of an eye, my birthday was over and i didn’t get to celebrate it since i was busy packing for my hubby… well, it wasn’t so bad… i don’t want to admit I’m a year older anyway :P

so came January… life started to quiet down a little… it was pretty difficult for me at first, for parting with my hubby… i spent my time cleaning the house (house was a little messy after Francis turned it into some kind of workshop with fabrics everywhere and i can hardly tell the color of the floor *chuckles*) My daily routine was to go to work, come home, cook some dinner, video conferencing with my husband, bedtime.. and yet another day started all over again… when it comes to weekend, i would do cleaning, laundry, probably out with my sis-in-law or friends, or just stay at home resting after a loooooooooong week… *and i hope to see Sylvia this Sunday :)*

My parents are coming over for Chinese New Year this year.. I’m so excited and i couldn’t wait to see them again. i miss them, i miss home, and i miss Kuching… ok, dun wanna bore you with my long winding post… hope to hear/see you guys soon.. take care and TaTa for now! muakz!
