Grandma is 85 !!

What was meant to be a surprised got Grandma all worked-up. Getting her dressed up but not telling her that she is going for a "surprised" birthday meal angered her cos she thought no one wanted to tell her anything. So it was only when she reached the restaurant did her facial expresion changed. (Phew !!! Thought she was gonna flip the table already. The "perankan meal" was at Pow Sing Restaurant. Ordering her favourite chicken rice with "ngoh hiang" and "tau hoo" !!! ), she very quickly gobbled down her food. She even "snatched" the ngoh hiang" when Sarah offered her the last piece. Without breaking it up to smaller pieces, it was already into her mouth. All watched in silence, as she went "gumming" her entire piece of "ngoh hiang" (without teeth. Amazing !!!) Next came the ONE CANDLE birthday cake (count on Son #2, not to get the correct number of candles !!).

As Clare happily sang the birthday song, the other two sibblings softly whispered it, knowing that they are in the "view of the general public". Blowing the candle was

















a breeze (even without teeth !!) but cutting the cake was a major exercise. Finally a quick snap shot with the 3 grand-children, Rena & Yayuk for the album.
