Grandma's 80th

Sorry was busy and probably too lazy to blog too until like...now. :)

Venue: Hornbill Restaurant, Sarawak Club

Date: 20^th August, Monday

My grandma’s children decided to celebrate this event with their close friends, relatives and some of my grandma’s old friends who were still alive. Preparations had been done months ago to ensure smooth sailing plans and it’s a big family event where my uncle and his family flew back from Sydney for this occasion. My cousin working in Perth too, took leave to celebrate grandma’s 80^th. All my grandma’s children were hosts and OCs so we, her remaining grandchildren who are still in Kch (less than half), were ushers. Yeap…that’s rite. I don’t know about my other cousins but I was definitely beat when the nite ended. I was practically running up and down the ball room doing ushering and directing guests to their tables according to a list of seating arrangements. Sure, I didn’t know or probably haven’t seen some of the relatives or the other guests before, so had to stop them at the door to ask for their names. Like some ID check or smth. Lol. And my toes and heels were aching cos was standing most of the time and running around in high heels. Bo pien...ai sui ba. =P Also, had to become photographer that nite for my dad and uncle. Had to help to entertain the guests also and so the nite was also about ‘berbonding’ with relatives and parents’ friends. Tired but easy job bcoz I didn’t have to think much. They were all practically saying the same thing like, “Whoa…so big already ah. I remembered seeing u as a baby last time” or “Are u so and so’s daughter? Aiyo… study in U already ah? U were only a lil girl when I saw u. so fast hoh?”. All I need to answer is “ ya lor…” or “si lor auntie”. Lol…yeah that was it. Well, what to expect at this kinda events rite? Esp when they were the ones who saw you when you were a baby. Okay...enough of that. Well, everything went well and as planned. Food was yummy too! My favourite is the famous Sarawak Club Butter Prawns!! Heheh… We were all tired when it ended but happy and good to see grandma so happy. It was definitely Her Big Day. We luv u, grandma.

With Luv,
