Chinese Tea Culture Canada

Finally had the time to make this post :p  Had been learning tea culture the past 4 week at Chinese Tea Culture Canada and trust me, its a lot more than what I had in mind 😀  Now I have a better understanding of Chinese tea, history and culture, seriously to me it’s way way better than learning winery :p  Well, the main key it’s to know how to bring out the good in your different kinds of tea leaves, you never know you might find in your tea cabinet, some priceless treasure maybe?  Anyhow, after the 4 classes, I know I found the good in my house which I thought it was the bad :p  Many many thanks for our tea master Connie, Rita and Emily for teaching us some great stuffs 😀  If anyone if interested in learning these, you can visit their website at http://www.c-tea-ca.com or let me know 😀

Markham RibFest & Music Festival 2011

RIBS RIBS RIBS!!!  It started at 6pm and Connie decided to go at 6 to avoid the long lineups and she was definitely right.  When we got there, there weren’t a lot of people because the event just started, once we got the food and sat down, people started coming in like crazy.  By the time we finished, the place was already packed with people and the line ups were soooo long.  You can take a look at how crazy it was from the pictures below.  I strongly recommend if you want to go, go early :p  Anyways, if you need more info, here is their website http://www.markhamribfest.com/  the event will end on Sunday night, if you like food, you should definitely go 😀

here is a video on my youtube channel 😀

A1中文電台都市巨聲歌唱比賽 決賽 (Final)

This is a follow up post of A1中文電台都市巨聲歌唱比賽 決賽 Rehearsal and A1中文電台都市巨聲歌唱比賽 準決賽之 Karen on Stage.

Finally, A1中文電台都市巨聲歌唱比賽 決賽 (Final) on Christmas Eve.  We got the perfect VIP seats in the front, too bad there was a very tall guy sitting just in front of us, so in most of the pictures I took, you will see a head shadow, sigh…  Anyways, all the contestants were great, especially Karen did an out standing performance on stage, you can check it out from my youtube video below 😀  Overall, I like the show very much, but there was one thing that disappointed me the most, the way they gave scores to the contestants was horrible.  Some weren’t that great but score was high, some were fantastic but score was low, made me think that they already made a decision before the show even started.  Anyhow, Karen really gave us a great show and it was the best we had ever heard her sing as well, loved every moment of it and we are always a fan!!! 😀

A1中文電台都市巨聲歌唱比賽 決賽 Rehearsal

This is a follow up post of A1中文電台都市巨聲歌唱比賽 準決賽之 Karen on Stage, Karen and I got to the rehearsal place (大多市中華文化中心何伯釗劇院) around 6:00, waited for around 1 hour, then the rehearsal finally started.  First thing they talked about was an opening dance…???  So all 20 contestants had to learn a short dance routine from the instructor, it was very funny to watch to be honest, especially when you see the reaction on their faces, and don’t forget, some are over their 40s 50s, so dancing might be a little too much for them :p  Anyways, can’t wait to see the show on 24th 😀  Here are some rehearsal footage below including the dancing part, enjoy 😀

BTW, those 2 Panorama pictures were taken using an iphone app. called 360 😀
