Grandparents + Great Granny Birthdays

My grandparents have lived for almost 70+ years & didn't had a chance to have a birthday celebration, much less a birthday cake. So, the family got together and planned a birthday celebration for them.

We celebrated his birthday in Nov & I was tasked to go pick up the cake for the occasion. Mummy dearest & her siblings each took charge of 1 item to bring for the gathering.

Durian cake, with longevity peach buns as decoration.

Mummy dearest even made 红鸡蛋.

Grand-dad with his first ever birthday cake. A gigantic version, some more.

with 叔公

See how happy Grand-dad is, clapping his hands as we sang happy birthday song.

Grand-dad was so funny and he even asked "那里切蛋糕?" - he heart-pain to destroy his bdae cake.

Auntie took over and cut the cake for everyone, while Grand-dad can only looked on to see his birthday cake crumbling to pieces, lol!

Since got celebrate grand-dad's birthday, how can don't celebrate grand-ma's birthday right? Must be fair, so we celebrated grandma's birthday the following month. Again, I was tasked to go collect the cake. Easy peasy.

Same cake design for Grandma, lol!

The rest of the relatives/cousins waiting for the table to be set up.

Table filled up with goodies!

群众要求 a "loving" pic of my grandparents, lol!

Grandma with all her daughers. The tight bond of mothers-daughers :)

And not forgetting us, the grandchildren, lol!

Her smile when we sang her the birthday song :)

Blowing out her 1st candle.

My lil nephew enjoying his cake, haha!

On a related note, we also celebrated great-granny's 99th birthday. Great-granny has grown weak over the years, having undergone an operation when she fell down the stairs a couple of years back. Now, she spends most of her time in bed. She will still remember all of us, though she will get a bit confused recognizing us if we were to wear our specs.

We didn't know that it was great-granny's birthday until great-aunt told us. So, we went to buy a cake & headed over to her place to celebrate it with her.

Great-grandma with her birthday cake :)

Like my grand-parents, she blew a birthday candle for the 1st time in her life.

May you be healthy always and live to a ripe old age!

Dec Babies Birthday Celebration

The december babies (Kenneth, Pris & Me) met up to celebrate our birthdays together, as well as a pre-Xmas gathering with the Uni mates.

Made reservations @ Shunjuu Izakaya, a Japanese restaurant located along Robertson Quay.

Wall of fame.

Arrived early @ 7pm & we were one of the early birds.

Got a table tucked at the corner, where we have a clear view.

Miniature Xmas decorations :)

We ordered some dishes first, while waiting for the rest to make their way here.

Free entree was white cabbage and lady's fingers. I was caught by surprised that the cabbage can be eaten raw, lol! The sweet bean sauce is good for dipping, a perfect complement to the tasteless cabbage.

Shunjuu stocks some of the top nihonshu (commonly known as Sake) from all prefectures of Japan. We got the newspaper Sake (the bottle was literally wrapped up in fancy Japanese newspaper) to start the night.

Mixed Sashimi platter to start the ball rolling.

Then we went crazy from there, ordering lots of Sumiyaki, also known as Japanese Tapas, washing these down with the sake that we've ordered.

Gan-bae!

Boss EK got us cake from Laurent Bernard.

And, he only bought 1 small cake to share b/w the 3 of us. Where got like that one? So we sent him back to the shop and buy more, lol!

Ta-dah! A cake for each Dec baby :)

The small birthday cakes that we all had :) realised that this year, I've been eating a lot of small cakes for my birthday. Time to cut the sugar level, lol!
