Dinner



















Lunch


Granny's bday was on Thursday, and since Aunty Monica was around, we went for lunch at this Crystal Jade restaurant. Wanted to have dim sum, so was kinda disappointed that the selection there was so limited. But lunch wasn't too bad afterall. Pretty enjoyable. Dinner, on the other hand, was fab! We went to the Unique Seafood Restaurant, the same place we went last year for Grandpa's bday. Between the 8 of us, we had: longevity noodles, oysters, kailan, German knuckles, fish, beans, and ostrich meat. We even had room for supper... much later on.

The whole time Aunty Monica was here, we had mahjong sessions. The routine would be: wake up, eat, go out, eat, come back, mahjong, dinner, mahjong, sleep. It was a pretty enjoyable break. The whole mahjong thing was cool. I have no idea, why, when I saw Aunty Monica, I had the urge to play mahjong. Never felt that urge for a long long time already. Makes me think back on the times when YiPoh (grand aunty) would come over, and we would literally spend our time cooped up inside the house to play mahjong. I still remember, we would have 3 rounds per day, and everybody would play till around 1, 2 am b4 hitting the pillows.

And let us not forget the times b4 Aunty Monica and family migrated to kangaroo land. They would come over every year, and during the later years, they would stay at SuiteStay, those service apartments. Nice and comfy, we would all gather at their place b4 deciding what to do. KLCC is just behind her place, and we could literally reach that mall in 10 minutes. Mostly, there'll be 2 groups: shopping and mahjong. I miss playing with Uncle Cyril. It's been ages since we last sat down to play together. Ah.... Mahjong sure brings back lots of fond memories.

But I digress. This year, Granny didn't blow out any candles or ate any birthday cake. This year, Aunty Julie couldn't make it back. But this year, all of us had a blast, and it's pretty obvious that Granny loved every minute of it as well.

(Oh btw! I recall Anne asking me to post some pics of myself. So Anne. Satisfied? hahahaha)
