Capoeria


We went for a night walk the other day, because Amelie was a little on the active side, and took her to S.Y.S Memorial Hall, not too far from home to give her a bit of a workout. On reaching there, we heard some rythmic drum beats echoing around the area. We got to the main entrance of the memorial hall and found a group of people practising Capoeria, a form of Brazillian martial art.

It was fun to watch, and the drumbeats where really good, sounding out a Brazillian beat out over the memorial hall area. I took the opportunity to try out the camera in a night setting, taking moment pictures. Perhaps I've yet to get used to the new digital camera, and may not know all of its functions, but the pictures I took were pretty crap. On the other hand, the people practising Capoeria were pretty good, and moved very quickly with their various swing kicks and swift movements. All very exciting, and it was the first time I have seen it in action. The only place I have seen it is in the Tekken games with the character Eddie Gordo!










Here are some other night shots I took, without a tripod mind you, hence the shake and all.

Going Japanese

After a bit of a battle in the bathroom with Amelie, she chose to go Japanese tonight. Chien took some pictures, and I thought I'd like to share them. Enjoy!

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Hello, Amelie is sick again...

Just an update.  I know it has been a while, but Amelie is in hospital with some bad virus.  Hopefully, she will get better soon...
