I do remember you, because we met in the '90s!!

Thanks for Fashion Foie Gras's post "Giorgio Armani and Karl Marx in a Range Rover Sport Ad? Right beside Carolina Herrera and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe..." and the link provided, I am having fun on the website and really enjoying myself there right now. 

Okay, you don't know what I am talking about? Yeah.. I am just found out a good website which brings you lots of ads around the world. Ads through all kind of media could be found here. Many of them are worth-thinking about and -trying to understand. I am quite JEALOUS with those who had those ideas and resulting in everyone likes them. I think I should spend more time on understanding the culture of the world so that I can be familiar to things that not only surrounding me, but also about others. Therefore, I can have more creative and unique ideas as well. 

The above ads has received a GOLD medal on Ads of the World January 2013. Honestly, I am quite touched by the ads. As young adults from the '90s, we are the group who had caught the right time in getting along with technology. I remember when I was 8/9 years old, my family had our very first computer. Seriously at that time, computers were not famous and not many family had a computer. I was luck!! And '90s kids were in the transition of playing outdoor to indoor. Wholeheartedly, I really appreciated what Microsoft Internet Explorer brings us. These activities absolutely brings back lots of childhood memories. You grew up. So did we.  I love the creativity of this ads, it echos with us, the '90s kids. 

I hope Internet Explorer does grow up like us. Being a better browser.

Sunday activity - Rymill Park & Bracegirdle

Nice Sunday afternoon to enjoy ourselves in the park. (though is a bit windy)

On Saturday night, while we were preparing for our Sunday BBQ in the park, 

I suddenly recognised that our family were always ALWAYS preparing food for parties.

Seems like every week, at least a day / night, we must be preparing something big.

Our house is a, I so-called, "Party house" lol

Fancy a party? Just walk in!! <--- Sounds good, huh? I wish I have some neighbourhood like this.

( I should post the preparation here, but currently my iPad is occupied by my lovely friend, so I can only upload those from my phone.)

On Sunday, we had found the best position for BBQ!! Just right in front of the lake. 

While enjoying the process of BBQ ( i didn't actually do the BBQ but eat), we took lots of pictures there with that  beautiful environment. We saw kids rowing boats on the lake as well. 

To our surprise, actually lucky for us, we witnessed a wedding which was just right opposite to us, on the other side of the lake. How lovely it is. 

{ yumyumyum...... lamb!!! }

{ Everyone is waiting for those delicious food in front of the grill }

{ Lots of food!!! Lamb.Beef. Chicken.Salad////// }

{ The family were enjoying the photo-shooting section }

{ Hi / Our cameraman of the day }

{ I love this pic!!the natural light brighten everything, isn't it? }

{ OMG//// This must be the new attraction on Rundle Mall!! By the way, they even make those seagulls squeak!!! So real!!}

After City Tour (for the girls) and my Church service, we went home for dinner.
Thanks for the Entertainment book, we treated ourselves some desserts at Bracegirdle.
Four of us, shouldn't order lots!! Otherwise, even sweet teeth couldn't bare (wink~*)

We had hot white chocolate!! In my very honest opinion, it is not sweet at all. It tasted a bit like milk but sweet one. But I kinda like it, I am not really like VERY sweet things. In fact, I love dark chocolate more, but just this time, I love this White Chocolate Drink. 

Belgian Waffle is just okay for me. On the waffle, there are some sugar rocks and they look like my fallen-out teeth!! Except that I quite like the softness / texture of the waffle. Eating it with the strawberries and ice cream, dipping it into the chocolate, Oh yummmmmm :) 

The ice cream fondue was the most wanted plate to us!! Self-served ice cream set as I will say hahahaha....
I actually expected they provide, you know the little stove which have to light up the candle underneath in order to melt the chocolate above. But anyway, it's still a good dessert. We have fun in having this self- served ice cream. Once is enough though. 

{ With my ladies ~* } - I think the lady who was sitting at the back, crossing her arm was the FOCUS of the photo lol   She caught my attention!!!

We had a good day. 

And tired. 

How do you usually enjoy your Sunday?

How do we celebrate Anzac Day?

How do you celebrate / fully utilized last week's ANZAC DAY holiday?

I don't know you but I believe you can guess mine!!

BINGO!!! We had SALMON hotpot at home. 

Since my parents had bought this electrical stove to Adelaide, 

me and my family always have hotpot. 

You know it ~ Self-served, put everything in the pot and just wait, 

it is much easier than thinking what should we cook tonight. 

Therefore, we decided to have hotpot while inviting our friends to come over ALWAYS. 

First of all, I have to declare that I have no idea and never tried to have salmon in hotpot ever. 

While I heard about the idea that we were going to have SALMON hotpot, 

I was totally like "Are you kidding me?? That's SALMON, man!! Should have sashimi instead!!"

However, it turned out we had the SUPER-EVER DELICIOUS soup base.

{ We were told to put the food on the skewers }

And our chef kept saying we were having BBQ pot instead of hotpot 

{ Skillful helper helped putting the prawn on the skewers }

Did you see our main character of today? SALMON!!

We are trying to put pieces on the skewers so that we can have the BBQ pot. 

{ Everyone was helping with the preparation}

I tried to relax and do nothing but it failed.

{Started by having some Shiraz champagne } 

Luckily not all the salmon was being thrown into the hotpot, 

our chef gave us a luxury entree - Salmon Sashimi !!

They were fat enough and tasted fresh. 

Although the flavour of salmon is not as strong as those we ate from sushi shop, 

they were fine for us with this reasonable price. 

Everyone couldn't wait to have that, 

and honestly I was hungry as well. 

Totally forgot to take pictures during the process, 

plus forgot to take photos of the they-said-it's-sweet-but-I-did-not-try apple crumble. 

How did you enjoy your long weekend last week? 

Hope you have had some good moments like us:)

Wedding Party Decoration ♥ ♥

Back to Adelaide last Thursday, I do enjoy my holiday in Hong Kong. 

Missing those shopping time, shops close around 10pm, missing street food as well. 

However, I am glad that I am back. 

After landed on Thursday, put down my luggage, I had to WORK straight away!!

Luckily, I am quite used to have some long sleep on the plane, 

therefore I was not that tired. 

First time for me to decorate for the wedding, sounds fancy but not at all!!

It's all labour work!! I was asked to do the chair covers.

It is an easy job but boring.
Just REPEAT the same actions for over 300 times, then you are almost done.

Honestly, I would like to try to do the ribbons which were tightened behind the chairs. 

I have practised over 30 mins, I could not even get one on. Could you believe it??

This is a skilful task, I should secretly practice them at home!!

{ Ribbon that I am not able to tight YET }

{ One of the wedding hall }

{ She is the RIBBON EXPERT!! }

{ Another wedding avenue - a super big one }

{ We did flower decoration for the wedding as well }

{ What a nice wedding cake }

Me and Trista were working really hard last Saturday, as she said: " We have worked for 17 hours!!"

Although it is a dull task, repeat doing the same things over and over again, I like it. 

I feel like I had do something worthwhile and the results just make you happy!

I am looking forward to another decoration day :) 

With Love,

Saw some videos on my Facebook again, this time is about travel!!

Alpine Coaster (Sommerrodelbahn) - Mieders, Austria

Its fastest speed can be upto 40km/hr !!

OMG!! I seriously want to play.

Have you watched the video yet?

I love excitement and this looks cool!! 

Although I believe I will be so shocked when I am on it, 

I will definitely enjoy the speed it gives me. 

I am now quite regret didn't go to Austria while I was in Europe last year. 

Let me now plan and save up some money so that I can go next year.
