Last night was great. Our colleagues organized a real 8 course Chinese wedding dinner at the Nobel House. We had Peking duck, chicken, tofu, vegies, rice and lots more. We sat in one of the private rooms, which was perfect as we were singing karaoke, sometimes quite out of tune. Of course there were games and Troy, and all the other guys had to take apples our of a water bowl spelling my name. And not to forget the wedding speech by a marriage-elder, someone who has been married for 22 years, giving us marriage advise. The golden rule is: the woman is always right. I like that guy! According to tradition, each wedding wish was accompanied by a loooong yam-tseng!
Oh, by the way, Troy got a T-shirt saying "Sorry girls, I'm taken" and I had one with "Propriety of the groom. Now and forever". Thanks everyone!

We were taken to Tamarind Springs last night for our first wedding dinner and REALLY, EXTREMLY enjoyed the food there. It's a mix of cambodian/laotian and other asian influences. We had stuffed crabs, banana flower salad, soft shell crab, caramelized chicken, spinach with yellow bean sauce, beef/asparagus, etc. As we were sitting on an open terrace with soft lights, surrounded by jungle, the ambience was great, but too dark to take any good pics. thank you!

Celebrations for our big day in less than 3 weeks will start tomorrow. I like that! We'll be going to Tamarind Springs for a dinner with friends tomorrow. Then next week Saturday, some work colleagues will 'take us out'. I already found out that this will involve a 10 course chinese meal and that we will be given 'outfits to wear' and that there will be karaokee. Soooo, who votes for my future husband singing a song for me? :-)

We just had friends from Austria over for a week long visit and showed off KL. This meant going to local places for chinese food and then heading out to some great bars. The verdict was unanimous -> Luna Bar is still the best. Chilling out in a private booth, next to a pool with view of the towers can't be beaten easily. But maybe there are cooler bars in Hong Kong? I shall find out soon...

We also went for a long weekend to Perhentian island. While the island was alright by means of clear water and great beach, it was rather crowded and we saw ourselves surrounded by germans, dutch and asian groups. Oh well, saw lots of clownfish though...
