The concert we were waiting for was finally here, 草蜢華麗舞台演唱會 (Grasshopper’s glamour on stage) located at Ricoh Coliseum and soo many friends were there too 😀 They started with slow songs then slowly moved into fast songs, at the half way point, the whole concert was already turned into a dance party and most people were on their feet dancing even the older people too, haha :p Overall, it was a very funny and excited concert with a lot of old time favorites. Too bad there was no encore at the end and because of that, after the concert was finished, we headed to Karaoke, since a few of us expected to have a late night concert and took the day off work the next day :p

Miller Tavern to celerate Karen’s Bday
Karen’s birthday is next week, we decided to celebrate it early on this weekend to a fine dinning restaurant. We picked out a few but most of them were full because of St. Patrick’s day but at the end, we got seats at Miller Tavern located at Yonge st. and York Mills rd. Never been there but it’s sure very unique because you only see that 2 storey building in the corner and nothing else around it, so there is no way you would miss it :p
They don’t have a huge variety of food choice, the menu is quite simple as 2 pages and we didn’t need a lot of time to think what we wanted :p Anyways, when the dishes came, I already knew everything would be amazingly good just by the looks and as expected, taste was really good. We ordered 3 different steaks dishes cuz they are all VERY good as told, the black cod was also a surprise too, and you know what? I haven’t had dessert for a LONG time and I decided to order one because we had the confidence to try everything there :p Anyhow, the whole night was fun and all, I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone if you are looking for a nice dinner out, one hint tho, the price is not cheap :p

Valerie
It was Valerie’s 1 year old birthday a couple weeks ago and I invited Rosanna, David and little Valerie to my basement studio to have some pictures taken. It was my very first time having a studio session with a 1 year old, it would have been a mess if I didn’t have any helpers there, so many thanks to Karen and little Marcus. They also brought their own babies toys and clothes to make this event happen, took David 4 rounds to get everything from the car so you pretty much have an idea how much preparation that was.
How hard it is to take photos for a 1 year old? Seriously, I thought it was easy but after the first 10 mins of the photo shoot, I realized there were a few issues that I wasn’t aware of, e.g. babies crawl super fast, they will not listen to you and super hard to get the right facial expression etc. And after 2 hrs of the photo shoot, 550 pictures were taken, everyone was exhausted, Valerie even felt asleep right after. Anyways, I finally got the time to pick out the right pictures for my facebook and blog, they actually turned out pretty good considering that was my first time :p

Super Cook Karen!!!
Yet another weekend gathering @ Karen and Simon’s house, me and a few friends were invited over for a nice home made dinner. She is already an amazing cook no doubt, maybe its the generic because her mom is a great cook too :p I got there a little earlier than the others so I was watching the whole progress and she really made all those dishes looked extremely easy. Seriously, with Karen and all other friends with amazing cooking skills, I really should learn from them and hopefully I could be that good someday 😀 Anyways, enough with the talking, lets take a look at all the dishes she did for us all by herself tonight and would probably make you go WOAH.
BTW, that lobster is over 5 lbs, just look at the size of those huge claws, really not easy to work with in my knowledge.

Family Day weekend and Valerie is one year old! (19 Feb 2012)
Valerie will be one year old in a few days and I was lucky enough to be invited to her early birthday party this family day weekend. A lot of the parents were invited, fortunately not many kids were there so I didn’t get any headaches and it was a total relief for me :p Poor David, Valerie’s dad is stuck at work in Montreal so he didn’t get to join us for the fun but thanks to modern technology, with video conferencing, he got to see all the action going on over the internet real time 😀 Anyways, we first had our awesome dinner, then it was time for the birthday cakes, one ice-cream cake and one mousse with little cartoon characters in them. Gift unwrapping was another big scene of the night and little Marcus was such a big help ripping all the gifts apart :p Seriously, I never thought a kid’s birthday party could be this fun :p
