Running Andrew's Wedding!

I hope that would explain my lack of updates for both photography and personal blog. Yeap, 15th of October 2011 was my wedding day. From early stages of planning till the actual day itself, lots of things happened in between. Nevertheless, I'm glad to say that everything went smoothly and according to plan, thanks to all the help that me and my wife got.

I have quite a lot of things to blog about but I shall organize these posts without rushing through them. Tips on wedding? Nah...I ain't THAT qualified to advise but I guess I can share my personal experiences and things to look out for.

Once again, thanks to all my groomsmen, bridesmaids and friends from church for making my big day a perfect one! In no particular order; See Kevin, Teik Beng, Chin Han, Heng Soon, Ruixian, Jesse, Char Lene, Lorraine, Patricia, Nicholas(my bestman!), My brother-in-law's baby boy whose name is Nicholas as well, Sharon, KC, Adrian, Ying Girl(my wife's lovely cousin), Gregory, Gidian, Joey!

I would also like to give a big shout out to:

• Pax Floral Studio for the beautiful floral arrangements
• Creative Clicks for their awesome photography work
• Visual Storytelling for recording all the sweet moments in video(High Definition mind you! :) )

But for now, I shall leave you with some teasers :)

Thanks Bernice for this group shot!

WHAT THE PIG?

Blogger's Choice Award: Andes

What's up everyone! my blog has been selected for this year's Time Out KL Food Awards 2011 for a special category. This time, there is a new category featuring some of KL's top food bloggers with their own choice of 'best meal' in the past 12 months; Blogger's Choice Award. I'm am very honored to be one of the selected bloggers for this and my nomination goes out to Andes at Aman Suria for their delicious pork burger.

Below is my review of the place.

Nasi Lemak 2.0

If you haven't heard, Nasi Lemak 2.0 will available in cinema nationwide starting from 8th September 2011! Yeap, that means it started yesterday! I wanted to blog about this sooner but I had other obligations which kept me busy from blogging.

Before I continue, I would like to thank Mike for inviting me to the Nasi Lemak 2.0 screening at e@curve on the 28th of August 2011. It was amazing being able to get up close with the actors and actresses of the movie.

Thanks Mike!

I didn't bring my camera that night. Huge mistake on my part. I didn't know it was going to be such a huge event :( I missed such a huge opportunity to shoot our talented local artists that were in the movie!

However all was not lost! I got to take a picture with the main man himself, Namewee!

These were taken before they walked down the red carpet. Pretty awesome right? Anyway, below are some shots of the celebs on stage before the movie.

Karen Kong, Adibah Noor and...the kid who acted as the younger Namewee in the movie

Nadine Ann Thomas and Dato David Arumugam

Not to spoil it all for you but it depicts what is currently happening Malaysia; humorously. The movie is definitely worth watching in my opinion. The title is pretty much appropriate for the movie. Also, don't worry about the language because there are subtitles but if you need to know, they use Bahasa Malaysia, Cantonese, Mandarin, Teochew, Tamil and typical Manglish-lah. Just like the dish nasi lemak, the movie has all the necessary ingredients for a good show.

To sum it up, please check out the show. Not because it is entertaining but I believe it's something that we as Malaysians can be proud of. Watch and you'll understand.

Enjoy!

Cooking 101: Homemade Butter Cheese and Almond Cake

Cooking 101 is back! My wife and I baked our own Butter Cheese and Almond Cake. Its a very simple cake to bake. Below are the list of ingredients you will need. Do take note though, we didn't use any measurement tools so I have no idea how many grams of sugar/flour and etc is used. LOL. So it's all based on 'agak-agak'.

Final Month

Its almost end of August and that means I have about a month to go before my big day. Things are looking great but I will only update my blog whenever I able to.

Not much food review as I am busy with work and wedding preparations but there might be one coming up over the weekend. As for my wedding preparations, I'm done with most of the major stuff. I've chosen my photographers, videographer and florist. One of the pending stuff now is considered to be 1 of the major headache for most; THE GUEST LIST.

For now, I'm supporting a project at the client's place so I'm unable to access social websites. They even blocked flickr. Why on earth would they block flickr? The category was "Personal Storage". Tough luck huh?

Till then, do check out my older posts :)

Ramadhan Buffet at Cinnamon Coffe House

Here I go again, rumbling about the lack of updates. I'm finding it hard to update my blog these days. I'm really tied up with work and when its the weekend, its time to work on my wedding preparations. As now is the time where my Malay friends would be in the month of fasting and buka puasa, I get the opportunity to share a Ramadhan Buffet offered by Cinnamon Coffee House at One World Hotel.
