Christmas Day Hotpot 2012!!!

On this Christmas Day, we decided to have our biggest hotpot dinner we had ever had in 2012 at Karen’s house.  Karen and Grace had to bring the kids to see Disney on ice in downtown, so me and Simon along with others had to get this hotpot dinner ready in the afternoon.  There were a few things that we never had in our hotpots home style, like the chicken wings end (雞翼尖), Hong Kong Style fish balls (彈牙街邊魚蛋) and a few misc. things 😀  We had a great time of course, but I think the happiest person of the night was Marcus, because he got to open all the gifts at the end of the night, hehe.

Unfortunately, Marcus got a very bad paper cut opening the gifts at the end of the night…  hope his finger will be ok soon 😛  Anyhow, happy holidays to everyone, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Marcus’s Belated Birthday Party 2012

Marcus is not little any more, he just turned 5!!!  Since everyone was busy on his actual birthday, the party was postponed to Sunday instead afternoon with only selected people and surprisingly the big cook this year was Simon, he made ton food for us 😛  Just take a look at the pictures and you would know how good he is on making pizzas and wings, not to mention he made a 6 layers rainbow jello too hehe.

Well, these kids are getting older, somehow the cuteness is shifting away, unlike the previous years when these parties still had a touch of cuteness involved in these guys, but the most fun was from little Valarie now because she just started talking and dancing :-p  Great party overall 😀

Side notes:  Jason couldn’t be there because he was sick that day, probably because of the cold weather, everyone was kind of weak, tho Emily wasn’t feeling well at the party either.

Niagara Falls Weekend 2012

We planned going to this event for sometime because of the 30th Annual CAA opening ceremonies with Disney Winter Festival of Lights at Niagara Falls Ontario.  It was cold and rainy all day Friday but our trip still went on no matter what :p

After our breakfast and 1.5 hrs of driving, we arrived at our first stop, Niagara Parks – Butterfly Conservatory.  Most people know that I hate anything with more than 4 legs, but because I had never been there, I had to take a look inside…  When we first got in, I almost freaked out, seriously…  It was a glass house full of butterflies flying around, so many kinds and different sizes, the biggest one was as big as my hand…  Well, after a few minutes of walking around, it wasn’t as bad as I expected BUT I still can’t stand the fact that sometimes those butterflies would land on your head, arms, legs, etc. …  Anyways, it was a good experience for all of us for sure, it was probably a fairy land for most people but for someone that hate anything with more than 4 legs, umm, I don’t think I will go back :-p

We stayed at Embassy Suite, one of the tallest hotel in Niagara Falls with Falls view, really not bad if you are not afraid of heights :-p  Our dinner was on the 9th floor at the Keg, which also had an amazing view of the falls and food was very good as well.  We were expecting the Grace family to arrive at around 9 but instead, they arrived at  10ish…  Anyways, didn’t really do much that night, went to the bar downstairs with Simon Lam and went to bed after :-p

On to the next day, after having our breakfast at Canada one Factory Outlets, of course shopping time for me, yay!  Didn’t really buy much but we did spend a long time there tho :-p  SkyWheel for Marcus next and we killed sometime there until the time for the Winter Festival of Lights.  It was freaking cold when the event started, I think the temperature must had been about 0º not counting the wind tho but the kids there were soo excited to see Mickey and Minnie and they already forgot about the cold weather…  Anyways, it was a fun experience over all, the shows they provided were a little boring, maybe good for kids but not for me, hehee, fireworks was amazing, extremely close, thumbs up for that 😀

The most horrifying experience was the walk from the event area back up to the eating area.  Like I said, it was really cold, and the walk towards the wind up was horrible…  Anyways, if I even do this again next time, I would be totally prepared I am sure 😀  It must have been like 15 minutes walking but it really felt like 30…  Luckily, with all our toes still attached, we got to Outback, a restaurant that don’t exist any more in Toronto area, don’t really know why but everything there still taste very well :-p  Anyways, I had a great weekend really, the whole trip cost me only $130 with hotel, food and everything, not bad huh?

Halloween Party 2012

It was an event that we had been waiting for, cosplay time of the year, Halloween Party 2012!!!  It has been a long time since the last gathering event like this, everyone had to dress up for the occasion and had tons of fun.  We decided to have the party this weekend instead of on the actual Halloween day which is the coming Wednesday so we could spend more time to have more fun :-p  Seriously, I think some of us looked even better than their normal looks after they are dressed up in costumes, hehe  and you can tell some costumes really fit their personality perfectly, just take a look at Grace, Emily, Karen, Marcus and some others including me, seems like the costumes really reflect our inner selves to the real world, hahaha.  Anyways, we had a blast, food was amazing, games were fun to play and the fun time/minutes was high 😀  I am sure we will do it again next year since this was a success, thanks Cheryl for setting this event up, and of course a BIG THANKS to Corolla for spending the time to make me a Waldo costume, YAY!!!

Town of Richmond Hill – 2012 Fire Prevention Week Open House

Town of Richmond Hill – 2012 Fire Prevention Week Open House.  This neat event was for the residents of Richmond Hill to come out for a fun-filled day of great food, fun games and educational activities, including auto extrication demonstrations, the Fire Safety House and a fire truck simulator, well mainly for kids really :p  I had never been inside a fire station before so I figured why not go with little Marcus and his family :-p  It must have been fun for the kids because everything was made for kids :-p  It wasn’t like what I expected, whatever I saw on TV inside a fire station, like fire fighters with 6 packs, awesome 3 storey dorms with sliding poles and exciting rescue demonstration etc…  non of that was there…  instead, we saw fire fighters with big bellies, boring interior and super slow rescue demonstration…  A little disappointing really 🙁  Or I must have watched too much TV…  Anyways, I did take some really awesome pictures to share with you all tho which is good 😀
