This year, our family came over in the afternoon on 26 December and my elder sister organised a barbecue in her estate. She ordered some cooked food like mee siam, curry chicken, fish ball and prepared salad herself, and also satay, otah, sweet potato, mashmallow for bbq. One big thumb up for you, my dear sister!
We have a lovely evening enjoying the food and chitchatting while the kids were running around the clubhouse and the bbq pit. To everyone's delight especially Xi, my sis has invited my aunt and family to the bbq as well and Xi happily hanging around my aunt and uncle while I was free with the food though still have to carry the clingy Ru.
Next morning, our big family had a simple breakfast at the Bukit Timah hawker centre before heading to Orchard for shopping! Imagine a big group of 17 adults and kids shopping in the crowded shopping centre on a Sunday afternoon, haha... So we split into a few group and fixed a time and place for everyone to gather later. Perfect!
I was slinging Ru and she slept halfway thru the shopping whilst Xi followed my sisters, dancing and singing happily while they were selecting shoes.
Lunch was taken at Crystal Jade Ginseng Chicken & BBQ in the Centrepoint. My elder sis again bought me a birthday cake (yes, that day was my birthday :) ) and everyone sang birthday song for me in the restaurant. *blush* Thanks thanks again to you, my lovely sister! We also took the opportunity to take a family photo.
The day ended with the kids and adults swimming and dipping in the pool. Xi enjoyed her "swim" (which more like playing with water to me) so much that she was one of the last to get out of the pool. I did not let Ru to get into the pool because of the prior experience. Need to get her the thermal swimwear first before letting her to try again.
