K's Sweet Grandma Turns 100!
The weekend was a blast celebrating K's grandma's 100th birthday. K has one of the biggest families ever - at least 'biggest' I've seen. His grandma has 10 sons and a daughter and tons of children and grandchildren. That's on his dad's side. His mom's side is equally big. Scary. Ha! Especially during Chinese New Year when I have to give out red packets (of money). :S
But it was really lovely to see uncles and aunties and cousins back from all over, the UK, Canada and Australia. I think it's been more so nice since all of them are such lovely people. Friday night we had dinner with most of the family at a Loyang chalet (correction, huge bungalow) and I hung out with them for some drinks at Zouk, Velvet. Till 4 in the morning! Hubs was home with the little one (he had to tee off at 7am :P).
Back to his grandma - I think she's really blessed to have lived till so long and to have such a big and loving family. I was amused at the enthusiasm the uncles and aunties had though, preparing and putting up items for her birthday dinner at Singapore Island Country Club. I had to sing a song as well, which was somewhat embarrassing, but I thought... for the sweet old lady... :)
Uncles dressed to the nines (with a huge red bow tie and glittery gold top hats) serving the first dish, male cousins stripping down to a warrior outfit (actually it's more a mix of some hawaiian dress skirt and colorful clown-like flowers) carrying grandma down the aisle for her grand entrance... and more. What a show!
Photos with the family girls - 80% of the family are boys btw.
And my favourite family shot so far!
To Ah Ma: May God continue to pour bountiful blessings into your life and may everyday you have, have His Presence and Love! Happy Birthday!
That is so wonderfully amazing that she has been blessed with such long life! Glad you could all celebrate together!
