Last sunday, we had a family dinner at Uncle Beng's place. Every family was asked to bring a dish each.
This dinner was organised because Su-Ann felt that although we meet each other 2-3 times a week, we haven't had any family gatherings since Chinese New Year. And thus, an invite was sent out via SK and as usual, all of us came.
In the begining, everyone was speculating as to what the occassion was because it was SK who sent out the invite via Facebook / email, on behalf of Uncle Beng and family. Some thought that it was to celebrate Aunty Sally's birthday. Others guessed it was to celebrate Su-Ann's birthday. Later, Uncle Beng clarified the matter.
As usual, food was super yummy. It was a variety of food that was laid on the dining table:-
Fried Chicken wings
Fried eggs with corned beef
Garlic bread
Chai Choy (vegetarian dish)
Har Mien (Prawn noodle)
Pizza
Bean curd pudding
err.. some enzime alchoholic dessert (lime rind with dragonfruit)
Longan
Bubur cha cha
Cheese cake
And yes, despite seeing each other every week, we still had a lot to talk about.
It was Indran's birthday and we sang the birthday song, he made a wish (I think), blew out the candles and cut the cake.
After that, we talked some more.
It was awesome! We should have this more often ... like once in two months? Hmm.. actually, sometimes we have gatherings like this too often, especially during Christmas and New Year time. During the middle of the year, everyone is busy with their work and other matters. I guess it doesn't matter what we meet up for, even if it is for the fun of it, as long as we do get together once in a while to catch up on each other's news. :-)
