Just came back from my Aunt's 70th Birthday Bash. Yes! 70th!! Wahahaha! It was a surprise party thrown for her and she was in total shock and dismay when she entered though the doors to see the crowd staring back at her. I think there were at least 100 people present?! It was just like a wedding dinner..all the photos flashed out on the screen, the ultimate speed (-_-) they served each dish.. Oh not forgetting their favourite..the KARAOKE. EVERY SINGLE dinner they organized, there is ALWAYS the KARAOKE. WHY?! Because they simply love standing on the stage and singing.
I didn't take any pictures because i carried a teeny weeny handbag and my phone battery only had 2 bars. HAHAHAHAA! But it was pretty touching to see how her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren looked up to her. It is a big but closely knit family :)
Nono.. i haven't gotten to the main issue. This very grand birthday bash was held at the Singapore Yacht Club and yes, Mountain Tortoise me entered it for the very first time in my life and was simply awestruck. People actually owned yacht in Singapore! Hahaha and people whom i know! My cousins actually own a yacht! Their own! And i only knew it TODAY! Haha one of them gave me a tour around the place but i didn't get to go onboard because it was close to midnight already. It was like WOW o.O
HEH In case you are thinking how come there is such a vast difference between my cousins and i, i have to stress that this group of cousins whom i am referring to have kids who are even older than me. Yes, some of my my nieces and nephews are so much older than i am. Some are even married!!
In any case, i think everyone present was pretty impressed and touched by the tight family bonds. 4 generations under one roof. Not a very easy feat. They even travel together! Heehee but what i'm really shocked about is knowing my Aunt is 70. She's so bubbly all the time and super active! Never did i imagine she was 70!! HAHAHAHA she's fantastic! A great role model! I hope i can face up to everything with a smile just like her ^-^
