Church wedding ceremony is usually solemn and serious. The bride and groom walk stiffly down the church aisle before reaching the altar.

Perhaps this traditional way of having a church wedding ceremony is too rigid for some people. That is why a group of young people has had decided to do something different and against the norm.

There was a wedding took place at a church in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The best man, best women and even the wedding couple were dancing their way down the church aisle.  This JK Wedding Entrance Dance is very entertaining and against the norm.

I find that the video clip is very special and amusing. It’s full of fun and happiness. The song entitled “Forever” by Chris Brown is also very lively and entertaining.

This is possibly one of the most infectious and uplifting wedding video clip that you will see this year. Enjoy!

I have the habit of taking pictures of anything that interests me whenever I go. I find it fun snapping pictures here and there using my handphone camera.

Here is a picture of a green leaf filled with many big ants. I took it when I was having a walking exercise with my family on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Green Leaves With Big Ants :

The big ants on the lively green leaf captured my attention although I didn’t know the name of the plant. I also didn’t know what those big ants were up to on a big green leaf.

I only knew that the ants were leaving some indented marks on the surface of the beautiful leaves. Maybe this is their natural way of crafting an art on leaves. Who knows?

My family and I re-visited the Roland Restaurant today since the last one on 15 March earlier this year. We like the food there so we went back to this restaurant to have our lunch on a pleasant Sunday afternoon.

We ordered our favourite Dim Sum, roast chicken and crispy duck today. In addition, we also ordered seafood such as pepper crabs and baked lobsters for the family.

Baked Lobsters :

Pepper Crabs :

I feel that the food there was really very tasty and up to standard. My family and I like the baked lobsters and pepper crabs very much. The serving of the pepper crabs was big enough for a big family.

Before we left the restaurant, my family saw a wooden craft crab was placed near the doorway as decoration. My nephew requested me to take a picture of the wooden craft crab so I grabbed my handphone and did a quick snap.

Wooden Craft Crab :

In my opinion, the wooden craft crab is really a very nice piece of art.

I was recently thinking about whether I should upgrade my Blog to the WordPress newer version 2.8.1 or not. Then, I happened to visit a Blog whose owner had just written a Blog post to inform his readers about the release of WordPress version 2.8.2.

Wow, I think this open source Blogging software is changing rather too frequently. I guess not many people are able to catch up with the changes. Furthermore, there is a risk of losing all your database or Blog posts if you didn’t do a proper backup should there be a mistake cropping up during the software upgrading.

Anyway, the reason for the new release of WordPress software 2.8.2 is that it has got a security update so anybody who is using WordPress 2.8 or 2.8.1 should upgrade to the latest version 2.8.2 as quickly as possible.

I understand that there are 10 files affected by the software upgrade and it doesn’t touch the database so the risk of losing your Blog posts, archives and so on is quite low. Alternatively, you can also use the auto-upgrade feature that is built into the WordPress software.

There are many new restaurants located at Tampines 1 shopping centre. My family and I have a plan to patronise most if not all of the restaurants there whenever we have the time and spare money to spend 🙂

My sisters and I have visited the F.I.S.H. restaurant recently. This restaurant is a subsidiary of the popular Fish & Co. restaurant which specialises in fish meals and other seafood.

Although the name of the F.I.S.H. restaurant is an abbreviation that makes up the word “fish”, it doesn’t sell fish meals only. In fact, you can find chicken, beef and other meat inside their menu.

I like the look-and-feel of the food served there. Here are some pictures to show people how attractive the meals were decorated :

Grilled Mozambique Spring Chicken :

Bake Spice Peanut Chicken Leg :

Creamy Mushroom Soup :

The food there certianly looked nice although my sisters and I do not get used to the taste of the chicken meals. The ingredients were blent differently as compared with those western food that we used to have.

Anyway, the F.I.S.H. restaurant has a cosy and quiet environment that can compete with that of our favourite country-style Country Manna restaurant. It’s good to have a taste of different ingredient and also to make a comparison between different restaurants once in a while.

A former colleague of mine sent me a very touching and inspiring email entitled “What is That?” Inside the email, there is a link for accessing to the YouTube video clip.

“What is That?” is a Greek short film made in 2007 featuring a father and his grown-up son sitting on a bench. Suddenly a sparrow lands across them.

The father asks the son a very simple question……”What is That?” repeatedly. Guess what? His son becomes impatient and gets mad with his father. Apparently, the father is disappointed with his son’s reaction and he just walks away to his house…………….

Like what my friend has mentioned in his email :

This is a very short but powerful video.
For those who are “growing old”, pass it on to your children to view.
It will make this world a better place for both young and old.
Cherish all that you love, especially those who love you.

I find this “What is That?” short film very touching and inspiring. I feel guilty after watching it. The film says it all about the relationship of aging parents and grown-up children in today’s society.

So, please take a few minutes of your time to watch this short but powerful video clip. Although the film is in Greek, it has subtitles in English. By the way, this is a film directed by Constantin Pilavios.

Both my Chubby and Skinny nephews like fishing very much and they have been bugging me to bring them to go for fishing since a few weeks ago.

My family and I have finally brought them to the Bedok Jetty located at the East Coast Park recently. They brought along their own fishing rods and then bought some fishing accessories from a fishing-accessory seller who ran his business on a bicycle.

Bedok Jetty at the East Coast Park :

As you can see from the picture above, there were quite a lot of people either cycling or fishing along the Bedok Jetty probably because it was a pleasant Sunday afternoon.

My Chubby and Skinny Nephews Holding Their Fishing Rods :

Although Nephew Chubby and Nephew Skinny are little kids, they are much more skillful than me in terms of fishing. I also wouldn’t know how to swing the fishing rod or control the rope properly 🙂

Far View of East Coast Beach :

There was a company function on-going on that Sunday afternoon. The songs coming out from the loud-speaker made the whole afternoon very exciting and lively.

There was a school of fishes swimming in the sea occassionally. They swam near the surface and made a splashing sound that was pleasant to the ears.

Although there were many fishes there, my Chubby and Skinny nephews did not manage to catch a single fish on that Sunday afternoon 🙁 Anyway, we will try our luck again some other time. Stay Tuned.

Today is my youngest elder sister’s birthday. Two days ago was my youngest elder brother’s birthday and he is older than my sister by 2 years and different by 2 days.

Their birthdays are so close to each other so it is kind of easy to remember. It is like you can remember his birthday and you won’t miss out on hers. Thus, no excuses to forget and no fightings 🙂

My family and I have had a birthday celebration with my sister this evening. We went to one of the Chinese restaurants to have some fine food as shown in the pictures below :

Mushroom with Broccoli :

Green Beans with Scallops :

Sea Cucumber with Broccoli :

Prawns with Mayonnaise :

Fish, Mushroom with Vegetables :

Roast Pork, Roast Duck and Soya Sauce Chicken :

Although the portion of each serving was quite small, the taste was above average and we like the food there. We really had a great dinner tonight. I think the birthday girl was satisfied with what we had planned for her too.
