Just a friendly shoot
Start from right – Tushar, MayLeng, Lily, Filton, Mafe..and ??? Can someone tell me what is his name. Cant remember all
Sebastien always hide behind when taking group photo ^^ So, can look thinner right?
While waiting for food, let’s take a photo ~
Cheers ~
SiewChean, Alvin, Chee Boon
So sorry to both, I have adjusted my camera setting to wrong mode. Thus, the photo outcome looked like this
Feel abit eyepain on seeing this color of photo.
The lady served us the “Yusheng”. She proceeded to add ingredients such as the fish, the crackers and the sauces while saying “auspicious wishes” (吉祥话 or Jíxiáng Huà) as each ingredient is added, typically related to the specific ingredient being added.
Yusheng , yee sang or yuu sahng (simplified Chinese: 鱼生; pinyin: yúshēng), also known as lo hei (Cantonese for 撈起 or 捞起) is a Teochew-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means “raw fish” but since “fish (鱼)” is commonly conflated with its homophone “abundance (余)”, Yúshēng (鱼生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yúshēng (余升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.

We are preparing to “Loh Sang” la ~ “Loh Sang” mean act of tossing. All of us will toss the Yusheng into the air with chopsticks while saying various “auspicious wishes” out loud. Eg. Loh ar Loh ar Loh ar Loh for money, loh for promoted, loh for increment ya ~
It is believed that the height of the toss reflects the height of the diner’s growth in fortunes, thus diners are expected to toss enthusiastically. [source] .So, can you see who toss the highest one. I guess so is Sebastien!
Camera was set to wrong mode: Daylight
Luckily the person who help us take photo has experienced on using Canon camera. He said that I have set the camera to wrong mode. Thus, he helped me to adjust back to Tungsten mode. After set, the camera outcome looked like this. Do you feel the difference?
