My Favourite Family routine - Happy Mother's day 2008

Happy Mother's day to all mothers (my da yi, er yi, si yi, xiao yi) and my dear mother. And most importantly, OUR GRANDMA... without her, i and out cousin will not be born...haha

Wishing you all good health and HUAT ya... Thanks for all the TLC(tender, loving, care) you all have given to us and mi. I remember when i was young, my Da yi and Si yi really take care of mi... as my family was not well to do.

Some nice memorable that i had...

My Da Yi will buy mi clothes, really nice clothes. I still remember my mum keep telling mi that my Da Yi Zhang(4)buy mi a small little dress for my very first new year when i was 2 mths old. Yes, i was born on the January 6. So after i was born, 1 mth later was Chinese New Year!!! Then my cousin, suyin who was 3 years older, we tend to have the same kind of dresses but different colour loh. (Nowdays, ppl say we look alike, do we? haha, i don knw)

My Si yi will buy mi toys and sweets and things here and there. My very first softtoy that my Si Yi brought was a very colourful caterpillar. I think i still keep it, it is in my store room. Will find some days to dig out and put it on my blog.

So all those wonderful people and things really brighten up my childhood was happy and sweet.

I am proud to say, we have strong bonds amoung my mum and her sisters and brother and my cousin and mi. We are a big family and i love all those annual gathering.

Currently, our big family have 34 members.... And the figure might be growing, C who is our very first cousin who get married.

We will tend to meet now and then and visit our grandma. Although not everybody is here but when it comes to special occasion, WE WILL GATHER Together.

So for this year mother's day, we had agreed to gather at my Small uncle house for celebration. Each family prepare one kind of food.

So, for my family, we prepare chicken wings and cheng teng. 3kg of wings, surely not enough... Then we still have my Da Yi preparing jelly, curry vegetable, Si Yi preparing Popiah, Xiao Kim prepare all other things. Also additional food that we brought... See so much things.

We little children will buy a cake to share but this time, my Er yi say she will pay for it. A bit Paiseh. haha.

Wanted to take a group pics, but they very paiseh and it is really hard to gather everyone for a big photo.

So here are the events of the day...

My mum chicken wing, taste fantastic!
