After a long wait, the wedding photo slideshow was ready on last Saturaday (27 Apr 2008). The songs used in the slideshow were picked up by me. The first song is "Sway" and the other is "Way back into Love".

Enjoy!

P.S. May have another version later cos Sunny may re-edit the slideshow according to his style! Just wait.

Oh my god! Again?

Just received the international recognized legal Marriage Certificate from Australia.  This Certificate contained more detailed information of the bride and groom.  I checked the information as once to make sure all the information are correct.

Oh my god!  My date of birth was wrong!!  I born 4 months earlier!!  Again, I needed to email Jean.  Our marriage is really a memorable one!!

Buffet Dinner with JiFung Guys

Jifung is a group of friends of Sunny.  They met each other in 1995 by joining the Outward Bound activity.  This gang becomes my best friends also.

Lok is one of the member in JiFung and he will accompany his fiancee to have the ceremony with us together in Captain Cook Cruise.

Before we started our journey, other members from JiFung have a dinner with us and present to us their best wishes and wedding gifts!  We didn't expect they'll give us wedding gifts as we will not have banquet in HK.  Thank you all of you, JiFung guys.  So, we promised to invite them for a dinner after we were back.

On 1 March 2008, we've buffet dinner in Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel.  The buffet was good and the mood was good also!


A large group!

Wow, what a MISTAKE?

We didn't take out the Marriage Certificate after we've signed it on our Big Date. Today, as I needed to repack some documents, I take out the Certificate to have a look. Oh my god! I & Sunny got married one year earlier?? The date was misprinted as 11 January 2007! As this Certificate is an official one, how can that be wrong? I told Sunny about that and we all think that it's amazing and our wedding was really a memorable one.

I then emailed Jean (our celebrant) immediately telling her about this. She apologized to us and said that she forgot to update her template cos our wedding was at the beginning of 2008. She asked us to post back our certificate and she will issue another one for us.

So funny and I think not many people have shared this experience as we!

The 1st Valentine's Day for Mr & Mrs Yip

This is the first Valentine's Day after our wedding but actually, it's our 6th Valentine's Day!

As usual, we haven't got any special arrangement as we both think that it's the day for the shops and restaurants to earn money from the poor couples. It's not worth to spend more money on the same services and food. So, we both compromise to grab some decent food only.

As I have an interview at the SUP Tower in North Point at 19:00 and hopefully I would finish it on 20:00, Dad Dad decided to go for gym first and wait for me at North Point. We met at 20:10 and I just want to have Japanese cuisine. We then walked from Fortress Hill to Tin Hua to search for a decent Japanese restaurant. However, as expected, all filled with couples and most of the restaurants needed to book in prior. I then changed my mind and would only ask for a comfortable place to dine.

At the end, we can only find a place here:

扒王之王
Steak Expert
銅鑼灣 香港銅鑼灣高士威道高華樓地下
G/F., Causeway Tower, Causeway Rd.,Causeway Bay, H.K., Causeway Bay

We don't know even for Steak Expert, only Valentine's Dinner is available. The Valentine set for an adult is HK$228 plus 10% surcharge. That means, totally HK$502 for a couple. So expensive but really didn't worth it!

Here were what we have:

Appetizer: Smoked Salmon with green salad.
Soup: Mixed mushrooms cream soup.
Main Course: 1. Shallow fried goose liver & grilled Tenderloin with whole black peppercorn sauce.
2. Grilled U.S. Sirlion with red wine sauce.
Dessert: Cheese mousse coated with crispy chocolate (in heart shape)
Tea or Coffee


Nothing special!! Just like fast food. The salad, bread and soup were serve at the same time! I still haven't finished my salad but the main course is waiting in front of me!! What can I comment? I could only say: "It's faster than dine in a fast food restaurant!"

For the taste, as expected, as usual! We requested the steaks to be in medium rare but they're almost well done!

Anyway, this's the first Valentine's Day for Mr. & Mrs Yip. We hope that we can have time to prepare our own meal next year! Dad Dad, I guaranteed that: Mine will be better!! Ha ha ha!

Our honeymoon have came to an end. We took the domestic flight to Sydney to transit for an international flight. The meals for this flight were not good. Luckily, we've taken ramen in the Sydney International Airport before we board on the flight! Why we still have time to take ramen?? Just because the flight to HK has been delayed for 45 mins!


After the long flight, we finally have back to Hong Kong. The weather in Hong Kong was not good. It was only 14 degree in HK. We have just came back from a warm area and is now countering the cold current in HK.


Anyway, we'll never forgot how wonderful this trip was!! We're now planning to go to Tasmania again in near future!!
