Ah Mah's 84th Birthday

Ah Mah turned 84 last Saturday. In her current state, she wouldn't know about such special occasion any more but the gathering of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren certainly brought her spirits up.

For some moments, she managed to carry out some very intelligent conversations with her loved ones. And she could even called out our cousin's name Ah Hock to take pictures of her and the grand birthday cake.

Overall, the celebration was quietly carried out without too much hipe. This is somewhat different from my family because we tend to be more boisterous and celebrations are often marked with adults chatting or cooking fervently, kids playing happily and everyone digging in heartily.

Still, it's the warmth of family gathering together that really matters isn't it? :-)
