Finally, I can breathe...
Looks like its getting clearer after each passing day that I'm going be shifting to Seng Kang within this year. Somehow, I'm actually looking forward to it although it means no more swimming and tennis as and when I like it. Come and think of it, I spent a large proportion of my life in Upper Thomson..and I'm sure that I'll feel really shitty when the time comes for me to leave the area. But well, I am looking forward to the change in environment.
I sound really contradicting...
Celebrated my Ye-ye's 85th birthday last Sunday. Definitely grander than the celebrations in previous years. Although I was really ecstatic to see him so happy..I just cannot ignore the significance and the associated melancholy.
On a lighter note, the restaurant we held the celebrations at was the ultra-retro Jade Room Restaurant @ Hotel Royale. It felt like I stepped into the 70s when I reached the venue.
The food served was really quite awesome, especially the Sharks' Fin soup. Although it was in its usual format, the broth was really thick and flavourful and the shreds of fin abundant.
Just a few snapshots of the dishes we had at the restaurant. Although I didn't eat alot at the 8-course lunch, but all of us felt really extremely bloated, even when we had longevity noodles and dessert left to go.
The guys and I bought a miniature Mahjong set for Ye-ye. Felt pretty satisfied when his face lit up to see our gift to him. Not forgetting the awesome cake the girls, Gerald & Daniel got for him as well. Think the entire event was really tremendous, and even my super distant relatives (whom I've never seen before in my life) were present at the celebration, which never happened for previous birthday celebrations for my grand dad (or so I think I've never experienced it before).
and yes...the day ended with..
