Cookies and cookies
Hi everyone
Today, I've been getting ready for our trip to my husband's family home about a 3 hour drive ffrom KL. Generally we have been collecting food, particularly cookies which we ordered a couple of month's ago. Our house is now full of jars of beautifully hand- made (by a cousin, not me) cookies. The cookies themselves are a mixture of traditional and contemporary recipes. Every year new and old recipes appear. We've got a lot as they are served to guests who come to the house during the festive season and a lot of people generally come to visit my parents in law as they are the most senior members of their family around. By senior I actually mean old!
I got out our traditional clothes this morning and packed these too. About the only time of the year that I actually wear traditional costume is around now and oh, sometimes to family weddings. Although I admire the costumes, I don't actually feel that comfortable wearing them. I feel as if I'm dressing up! My husband and children on the other hand look natural and wonderful in traditional outfits.
More about this later and possibly if I can manage it and I don't feel too silly, a picture!

hello ,Mrs Tricia . I was so pleased that you have mentioned my name in your blog and also answered my question. This year the wedding is so popular that I am invited frequently and asked to the same question several times: "When are you going to invite us to your wedding?" Friendly though the question is being asked, I don’t know how to reply immediately: it’s my private affair. My idea is that much as we are pride ourselves on a good sense in our life, we are no longer free to choice the person we really wanted。 It’s a pity that social has exert a subtle influence on the people that : it’s time to get marry .As for me, I am fully of optimism and fell generally happier about my current life. Just let things remains as they are. My friends and relatives don’t think so. Two weeks ago ,Mr. zhu liang ,my university classmate, he invited me to his wedding , (Generally the bride and groom have ordered the restaurant a couple of months ago. The restaurant is now full of jar and the red wine of great wall. He is one of my close friends. So I promised that I would arrive at the restaurant on time. “Will you go to the restaurant by yourself, or your parter together? He asked. “only me.” I answered. “I got it, looking forward to your coming. See you on Sunday“ and then he hung up the mobile telephone. So I remember the appointment which I promised, on Sunday, I got out the traditional clothes and a pair of shoes with high-heeled in the morning . about the only time of the year that I actually wear traditional costume is around now and oh .sometimes to family weddings. Although I admire the costumes. I don’t actually feel that comfortable wearing them. I feel as if I am dressing up. To be bashful but true, the girl look natural and wonderful in tradition outfits in the mirror. When I arrived at the restaurant at 5 :10PM .the first person to meet me was just Mr. zhu ,he shaked hands with me warmly .after he introduced to his bride , he led me to the main table : it’s mean that single young people are allowed to sit with bride and groom together during lunch in shanghai .and then he laughed loudly ,and said to other five boys . “ today I am afraid that only five wolves and one lamb stay together .ladies and gentlemen ,It’s Mrs. Vive”
