Went to my Grandma's (my dad's side) at SengKang last nite...My dad has 11 brothers and sister (with him being numero uno) so you can imagine the crowd during family meetings and holidays like Christmas and CNY...But i love it! The large number of people just adds to the mood and festive atmosphere and last nite was no different...We had a spread for dinner, wat with turkey, honey-glazed pork ribs, sausages, shepherd's pie (made by my very own mother!), mango and strawberry salad, chicken curry, log-cake etc...And it was all absolutely delicious! I ate for about 1 hour non-stop...And after singing carols, playing games and exchanging gifts, went back to the dinner table to whack the burbor hitam that my aunty made...Needless to say, had a wonderful Christmas eve and really enjoyed myself...
My dad, the resident poh-piah maker...He does it really well...

Singing carols...
Above: Collecting Ang-pows from grandma...She has a bit of dementia and arthritis and so has trouble controlling her movements, even the clenchin and unclenching of her fists...For some cousins, she had a death-like grip on the ang-pow but fortunately for me, she gave me mine easily...Guess she was charmed by my good looks...That happens a lot hahaha...
Below: My sis laughing at my dad who kept shouting across the room, "GRAB IT!!! JUST GRAB THE ANG-POW!!! QUICK, MAMA IS FALLING ASLEEP...NOW'S YOUR CHANCE, GRAB THE ANG-POW!!!"
Below: All the successful grabbers hahaha...
After the party...Zzzzzzz...
