As promised, my new post is up today :)

Will start off with pictures first;
I thought this is a very artistic picture that I've taken of Trillion, my toy poodle, with him looking elsewhere. Don't you agree? :p
A very cute picture of Trillion again, but with him looking at the camera this time. Lovin' the natural glowy effect that I've got from this picture.

On Sunday night, we had a family gathering with my relatives from mum's side, and together with Melody's family too at Noble Mansion restaurant in Jaya 33. It was a rather lovely get-together, after so long. Though some of my cousins weren't present on that night as they were not all back from overseas, but it was overall great to be gathered along with my grandma, aunties, uncles and cousins again. Occasions like these can never get too old or boring for me, as I believe that it always depends on the company that you're with which makes the entire gathering worthwhile or special :)
Food was overall great, definitely preferred Noble Mansion's Chinese cuisine easily over Li Yen at Ritz Carlton, Overseas restaurant's or even Grand Imperial's. I always thought the food in these restaurants has deteriorated over the years, for someone like my family and I who have been quite frequent customers at these places.
Well, everyone was given a cold starter before we began our hot meal courses.

Our cold starter with some dry ice deco at the bottom. Looks fancy huh, haha.

Need I say more? Heh. It's abalone, shark fins along with sea cucumber soup. The taste is unforgettable. :p
Huge scallop steamed with vermicelli noodles and garlics. It was really delicious.

But before I go on, I would like to interrupt this moment by talking about something totally irrelevant to our family reunion at Noble Mansion.
Well, that is earlier in the afternoon on Sunday, my family and I bumped into the Hong Kong actor/singer, 林峰, which is also known as Raymond Lam Fung if you can't read Mandarin words at all. At the same time, we also saw his girlfriend whom is also an actress in Hong Kong. I don't know what's her name. All I know is that she's just the same age as I am, who is currently dating Lam Fung who is of 14 years her senior. :O yup. To satisfy your curiousity, we were standing at the entrance of Ritz Carlton hotel in Kuala Lumpur while waiting for our car to arrive, when these celebrities appeared, right behind of us. They stood behind of us for as long as about 7 mins.
I didn't or shall I say none of us, my siblings or anybody among us actually taken the initiative to have a picture taken together with them. Hah, probably it's because there weren't any reporters at all and my parents was around as well. My parents especially weren't completely comfortable with the idea of us approaching the actor and actress as they thought it would looked weird and as though we were stalking them all along. Haha, can't blame them, but honestly, we weren't really desperate for a photo with them anyways. *grins*
And actually, I don't know whether I've ever mentioned this before on my blog or whatever, I have personally met Lam Fung for four times already throughout my life, since as young as 13-years-old. When I first went to Hong Kong, I bumped into him while I was visiting Disneyland and he was just in front of me. So I took the opportunity to snap endless pictures of him back then, but never actually taken a picture with him as he was surrounded by his bodyguards and all. The same time when I was heading back to KL from my HK trip at that time, we bumped into him again in the HK airport as he was also heading off to somewhere with another fellow TVB actress, Charmaine Sheh for some drama shooting then.
Another time was quite recent which was about two years ago I reckon, when my family and I were heading to HK during Christmas time. We bumped into him in the lounge and some other TVB actors at KLIA as they were also heading back to Hong Kong, on the same flight as us. Haha. But funnily enough, despite having the chance to meet him coincidentally for so many times, I still refuse to actually approach him and have a picture taken together with him. Hmmm, I wonder why. *bleh*
Lastly, the most recent one would be just last Sunday. Bumping into him unexpectedly, as usual. Heh.
Well I didn't take any pictures with him, but obviously, I have managed to snap a quick one while he was heading back to his car with his girlfriend. The picture is as below:

If you look at this picture carefully, you would be able to see his girlfriend which was wearing a striped (black&white) outfit and Lam Fung just behind her, the one all dressed-up in very casual and sporty look (cap, sport shoes and bagpack).
Heh, so that is all about the HK superstars. :p
..Time to head back to reality...
So obviously, throughout our dinner on Sunday night, I managed to go around taking pictures with my cousins, and aunties.
Alicia and I. Haven't taken a proper picture with this cousin sis since 1st of January 2014. Just look at how time flies!
With my beloved Aunty Amy!! The ever so sporting, easy-going, and tech-savvy aunt of mine!

Later that night, it was a very spontaneous decision to meet up with Paul before he flies back to France soil the next day. I think the last I saw him was four years ago, when I first visited Paris during my Concord days. It felt like it was just last year since I've met him. ><"
Many of you may not know this, but I have always had a friend who is French, and also of Malaysian blood. Thanks to my mum's good friend who married a French guy, hehe. So yeap, he's not entirely a Frenchman, or angmoh, you may call it. In fact, it's quite a rare case because he's one of the few that definitely knows how to communicate and understand Cantonese. Amazing, isn't it? Heh. At the same time, his English is really proficient too; unlike most of the French people that you often encounter in France who mostly don't really know how to converse in English competently.
So, it was just catch-ups and long talks as usual with Paul along with the company of my cousin sister, Shermin that night. It was certainly great having to meet him again after his return from his Singapore trip. I honestly enjoy conversing with him most because not only he's originated from France, which it's pretty much still a foreign place to me, but he's also part of us, Malaysian-Chinese. That makes communication between us simpler and less complicated, as there are so many things in common that we could easily talk about.

His élégant pose with me in this picture. LOL. How old do you think he is based on this picture? :D
Paul, Krystal and Shermin!
Paul and Krystal :)
Please excuse my distorted-looking face because I obviously can't look as good as that someone next to me, who is of more define and distinctive features. :p

Alright guys, I believe that's all for now that I want to blog about for today.
Gotta go do some exercising now, before I turn into a lazy-bump.
Have a great week ahead!
Till then,
