SHREK's castle??

At first glance, it looks like it was taken from the movie, "Shrek" or "Shrek 2". (no Donkeys around though!) But the Malaysian flag is a giveaway.... Actually, I've not been to the place & have forgotten the name. My parents & Keat have!

Skyride

While everyone is busy giving out or receiving ang pows, eating kuey kah phek or sleeping, we are out here, giving ourselves a "fright/fun of our lives" (Nick & I are afraid of heights... as you can see in the photo) with the rest of the tourists at Sentosa!

Knock Off Time

Ah .........its that time of the year to switch off and relax for a few days.

Don't call me I will call you, you know what I mean ..

But if you do get together, maybe you could go to the Pub and talk ................

The Essential Tidbit of CNY....Kueh Kah Pek

I remember those days where the sight of people making love letters over a hot charcoal stove. It is certainly a dying art.

Did the prince really sent love letters to his lover in form of this biscuit? .... we will never know...

Birthday Cake for the JANUARY & FEBRUARY babies!

Although the cake is for all the gorgeous & lovely cousins who are turning sweet 36, it also comes with sweet thoughts for Peter (who is much much older... anyway not much space to add candles on this tiny cake la)

New Year Harvest

We went fishing on 1 Jan 2007 at East Coast Park Jetty, S'pore, and look at the harvest we got! A total of 25! Actually it was Nick & his daddy who did all the fishing. You can see on the first photo that Nick is trying to catch the little fish which tried to escape! Not a chance, man!

Tony's Farewell Entourage

F0r those who know Tony, here's his big VIP sent-off to Jakarta on 7th Jan 07, Changi Airport.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, Everyone!

Hello, family, cousins & cousins-in-laws... Merry Christmas from the Chua Family! If anyone is in town during this season, please come to our home on Christmas Day! (yes, it's Pizza Hut & many other delicious food. No "kiam-chye" or "tau-eu-bak", though!)

Rescued animals.

Here are some dogs that we have rescued. What to do, we keep running into lost dogs. All are now with new homes. The first one is a Boxer names Tobias. We found him in the middle of the road, he was knocked by a car. Notice his paw plastered up and the cone is to keep him from chewing off the bandage.
The Shiz Tzu is called Brutus, real pampered pooch who doesn't like taking photos.
And the lovable but destuctive Beagle is Charlee. Charlee lived with us the longest. We would have kept her if not for the fact that Jacob and Charlee didn't quite get along. They would play but Charlee was very rough so jacob ended up with wounds all over his body. But this Beagle really is very sweet. Chews everything in sight tho!
