Official "Suan" Day !!!

The Stage was set the day before. All the sibblings declared that the following day's lunch was to commence at 10:30am. Eldest sister (no names mentioned), quickly corrected that it should be 12:30pm and they very quickly left it as such. That was on 26 Jan 09.
Comes 27 Jan 09 (1st Day of the CNY), side bets were quickly taken to guess what time, BIG SISTER would actually arrive (condition : with BOTH feet firmly in the house). It was big time gambling for the first day of the Lunar New Year. Even the usual possiblity of PLUS/MINUS was eradicated stating that it was IMPOSSIBLE for a MINUS to take place. (This was of course based on past years statistics/track record !!!)

Back home, the children were also making their own prediction on what time Mom would actually leave the house. Aaron-James came up with 12:35pm (Afternote : Not too bad. He was right !!!)

At the Old Airport Road location, anxiety was building up when Sarah-Marie SMS the delay in their arrival. Base on the input, the timings were changed and all awaits her arrival.

When it was finally clear that she has arrived, all activities suddenly came to a standstill, to witness the actual time of arrival (ATA) ... Cameras (with timer in place), snapped the moment Big Sister steps in ... and the winner was JANET who predicted that she will be 55 minutes LATE, arriving at 1:25pm. It sure made her day !!! :p) ..... Might as well, make some money from all the past years of waiting !!!

After lunch, all proceeded to the playground for the traditional FAMILY GROUP PHOTOGRAPH. Only difference this year is that the Photographer is Aaron-James Teo. Instead of the usual "CHEESE" .... it was "TOILET PAPER !!!!" ....
It was another day to remember !!! ... for the "Official Suaning Day".
