Where the twain shall meet…

Do you believe in fate? You may be from different ends of the country or different parts of the world but if it is fated, no matter what, you will eventually end up together. Well, this is not the first case and I’m sure it will definitely not be the last.

Another one of my ex-students got married the other day…

Elvis' wedding 1

He was such a nice boy in school, so pleasant – a really very good boy indeed. He was very active in church activities and I used to jokingly ask him whether he wanted to become a priest and then we would have a Father Elvis! Well, that’s his name and he didn’t end up becoming a priest but instead, he tied the knot on Friday last week to this girl all the way from Serdang, Kedah…

Elvis' wedding 2

I went to the church service in the morning and that evening, the wedding reception was held at this restaurant

Good Happiness. Sibu

…which is in fact the sister-establishment of this restaurant in town.

Of course, it started with the Four+1 Treasures…

Good Happiness, 4+1 Treasures

…followed by the not-to-be-named soup as usual…

Good Happiness, sharks' fins soup

The steamed fish was really good, I must say…

Good Happiness, steamed fish

…and this meat combo dish of pork and Thai-style chicken came next…

Good Happiness, meat combo dish

I did not touch this…

Good Happiness abalone mushroom & veg dish

…but I did take a couple of prawns from this next dish…

Good Happiness, salty crusty prawns

Then, there was the dessert – or nee (yam paste) with sio bee (meat dumplings), both of which I enjoyed…but unfortunately, I forgot to take a photograph of it.

It certainly was a delightful evening and dinner and thanks so much, Elvis, for the invitation. As always, it is so very nice to be remembered…
