Chinese New Year (Eve - Day 9)

Reunion Dinner
This is first time ever we had our reunion dinner outside. Normally MIL insist to cook but this time she suggested to eat out….. maybe she too lazy to cook liao. So, we had buffet dinner at Essence, Imperial Hotel for a change instead of Chinese dinner. This is also the first time a big group of people get together which include moms, sis, god mother and god brothers at total of 20 people. It’s really a big and happy get together reunion dinner. Hopefully, next year we can have this again!!! Then went home early as hubby need to pray.
