im pleasure that have the chances to assist my elder sister and brother to handle their wedding invitation card. Before that, i thought writing the invitation card was an easy task and should be just like a piece of cake. After a few times involved in writing this kind of matters, i only realized that it was not as simple as i think. Of course, if you know well the custom, it will be better.

Yummy Yummy ~~ Asam Laksa 好吃！！

我非常喜欢吃Asam Laksa, 每每到一个地方，如果是有Asam Laksa 的话；我绝不会放过每一次机会。告诉你们，上一回去双溪大年公干时， 很巧和的来到小贩中心。便叫了道地驰名的Laksa，价钱廉美，一碗才两元。这样的价钱在我家乡恐怕都找不到， 更何况是吉隆坡呢？

这一挡拉沙，统合了中华美食的标准：色，味，齐全。 真的没看过一碗装饰的有如鲜花那般美观， 这一碗有拉沙面粉(noodle)，鲜鱼(shredded fish)， 拉沙花 (Laksa flower)， 小辣椒(chili)，青菜(vegetable)，虾膏(prawn grease)（看看照片就知道咯）。不但颜色均匀， 味道也很香， 保证吃了还想吃呢！ 那感觉实在太棒了。这件店就在The Store旁边，你们还等什么呀，快去吃啦！
