 |
| Auntie Josie and Me prepping the cake. She baked my grandmother's favourite corn custard cake. All I had to do was wrap a ribbon round it, prep the cake stand and add flowers. |
 |
| Say Cheese! |
 |
| The bowl which everyone received. This is also part of a chinese tradition. You'll receive a oriental chinese bowl with matching chopsticks and a ceramic spoon. This signifies that my grandmother is giving out and sharing her good blessings to all her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren! |

| We all sat down to watch a video I prepared for this special day. I collected videos from all her grandchildren and compiled it into a short presentation. Will find a way to put that here one day. It's so big, I don't really know how to downsize the file. |
 |
| YEAH! SEE MY DAD SO HAPPY!!!!! |
