It was Gong Gong's 60th birthday celebration at his house. We had dinner buffet and some of Gong Gong's relatives came to celebrate this special day. Not easy to reach the 60th mark, I must say, I'll have a long long way to go man! I wish Gong Gong good health and happiness for many days to come!
I had a good time though at first, I was taken aback by the crowd. Boy, the crowd was only a small fragment of our mega family from Gong Gong's side only! It's not all! And I met Granduncle Benji, that I am always afraid of, because I think I mixed him up wtih Uncle Victor (they look quite alike). But that evening, I managed to "Hi Five" with him and didn't cry at all. Hmmm...actually, he's a gentle giant at heart lah.
And Grandaunt Magdalene really made us all laughed like crazy. She was trying to pretend that she is the MC for Grandaunt Becca's wedding. She somehow got confused with her own brother, Granduncle Benji with her brother in law, Uncle Vic because Granduncle Benji stood in proxy (they look alike, like I said. And she also got her role mixed up, sometimes she talked like she's the officiating pastor. So we laughed like mad. She always brings fun and joy to any occasion, Mama said. And she has got a superb memory for people's names and birth date. Ask her for ANYONE's birth date in the family (and I tell you, at least 40 people)she can recall them all! She is our walking calendar who will remind people so and so's birthday's coming. So smart. She doesn't need to attend any right brain training or speed reading to improve her memory at all!
