it is drizzling slightly outside but i should go back soon to bidor. the usual going back at 6p.m. is delayed today because of an early chinese new year reunion dinner. go figure how much earlier it is.there were 14 of us- grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunts(2), mom, dad, brothers(2), sister, cousins(3) and i. it was grandma's suggestion to have it early this year because everyone is still around. come next week, cousins (2) and brother will be going back to australia and new zealand for the new term.
we had so much on the table, 11 dishes including soup. i think grandparents are the happiest tonight.
grandma also ordered special takeaways from restaurant- deep fried trotters, sweet and sour pork and fried mau tan noodles. aunt chwi ling made fried mini porkchop and chicken curry. dad brought home mutton curry. yee cooked prawns and mom boiled cucumber soup, steamed white chicken, fried long beans and steamed fish. having a little of everything is already enough to fill the tummy.
now yeelin is looking for tea to help digestion. haha...
well, i better hit the road soon. i wonder if the real reunion dinner on new year's eve is going to be as merry.
