Gong Gong is 80 !!

As we awaits the rest of guests to arrive, it was "snap-snap" time to grab a few shots with Kong-Kong who will be 80 this year. Gathering friends and family members for an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner @ The Spices Cafe, Concorde Hotel was by itself a major exercise.

The idea of having a more interactive "buffet style" dinner with a wide variety of Eastern & Western food was to cater for the young and the not-so-young. It also enable more inter-mingling among the "cousins", their parents and their grand-parents. This was of course followed by the group photographs by families and various categories. Immediate children of Gong-Gong & Poh-Poh, grandchildren, nieces & nephews, etc .... It was really a memory test of who belongs to which family. (More like attendance taking !!!) The younger ones had their own fun, ranging from playing with iPad, iPhone or just running around & eating their favourite sushi or oysters. On the whole, it was a lighter note of celebration from the traditional sit-down dinner. Happy 80th Birthday, Gong Gong !!
