Have you ever really love a woman?

Last night we were supposed to go to see my son’s band ROSEVELT to open the concert for INCUBUS at our National Stadium but we passed that to attend a good friend’s 40^th birthday party. We believe there will be many more opportunities to see ROSEVELT’s performance but there will not be another 40^th birthday for my good friend Andrea. Her husband, Brad threw a very well planned birthday party for her. It was a perfect birthday celebration attended by relatives and good friends.

the guests

the food and drinks

the champagne and birthday cake

Look how happy Andrea was… how blessed she is to have a hubby who really know how to love his woman! This reminds me of the song from Byran Adams - "Have you ever really love a woman?" I am sure Brad does and he has told his lovely wife, that she is wanted and she's the one and it is going to last forever. One more cheers for the loving couple!

We all had a wonderful time and both Quay Lo and I were very glad to be there to celebrate this happy occasion with Andrea and Brad!

Now coming back to Rosevelt’s performance at the National Stadium opening for Incubus, here are photos which I would love to share with you all because YOU made this happen for them!

I am indeed VERY PROUD of the boys!

Truly touched by the love story. These days, many people don't really bother in maintaining a marriage. Your friend is really blessed that hers make an effort. Congrats to your son too. A great concert by the crowd i see.

I can't believe all my reply your comments are gone!

I am going to reply you all again.

@Gloria @That Girl @daphne, @Rita
Thanks.

@Lyndsey
Those are Incubus fans, Rosevelt's fan were there but not so many hehe. They are working on it.

@edith
I agree with you. Not many people are blessed with a partner who place them on a pedestal. Andrea is truly blessed. As regards to Rosevelt, the concert was great. A dream come true for band.

@Shirley
It was a wonderful birthday party. I really hope Rosevelt will make their way to stardom.

@Nava
Agree with you 100%

@lena
ya, betul betul hebat!! hehe

@LeQuan
Thanks so much. You are always so supportive. You don't know how blessed I feel to have known you.

A LITTLE ABOUT THIS QUAY PO

Before I was married to my "Quay Lo" (Guaylo) husband, I did not know how to bake or cook. Subsequently I learned some baking and cooking Western cuisine from him, and providing his food for him launched an interest in cooking in general. Many of my Chinese friends and family told me that "Quay" is the wrong spelling for devil in Cantonese. The right spelling should be "Kwai" or "Guay". Well, somehow I like the spelling "Quay" better although I have to agree that it does not sound very Cantonese. Try asking a Westerner to pronounce "Kwai" and you will probably hear "Quay" haha. Whether is "Quay" or "Kwai" or "Guay, just know the devil woman is me when you see Quay Po Cooks. My hubby said if people pronounce "Quay" as "Key" is even better because I am the key to his heart. LOL!

Only now, have I started to learn the traditional Cantonese cuisine of my Mum. She cooks fabulously and all her specialties are divine. These two interests, my husband's Western food, and my mother's traditional food, prompted me to document them so they will not be lost.

Here, I wish to share my cooking and baking experience with my readers. I also hope to inspire those who do not know how to cook or bake to do so because, trust me, if I can, you can too.

Something I'd like to mention is that I find that many people are rather unwilling to share their recipes. However, for me, I think differently. I think good recipes should be shared thus allowing as many people to enjoy it as possible. Unless those recipes are for doing business, I don't see why we want to keep them all to ourselves. So if you are generous in sharing your recipes, you are welcome to share on my blog. Send the recipes to me and better still with pictures of the final products and I will be very happy to post them them with credits to you of course.

Our cuisine is a deeply embedded part of our culture. When two cultures come together under the same roof the results in the kitchen can sometimes be comedic, sometimes confrontational, but more often it is a journey full of surprises and discovery. There is joy in our food. If we think upon this, it is intuitively obvious. This blog is a journey of joy and sharing, reflecting what the French like to call "joie de vivre" (joy of living). No one could be more different from one another then my husband and my mother. Yet one thing they share in common is knowing intuitively that food, cooking, and sharing can be avenues of joy in life itself. So herein, help yourself, to a little joy and , if you like it, share it with your own family and friends. Joy is something that should be shared.
