Today is my grandfather's 75th birthday. Let me start by saying a merry "Happy Birthday!" from the whole family.
Last Saturday night, at 6:30, my family and I left the house and set off for my grandparent's apartment in Ang Mo Kio. A long drive it may have been, but it was exciting. It was the celebration of my grandfather's 75th birthday. That night, my two uncles from my fathers end of the family tree went to my grandparent's place to celebrate this joyous occasion.
At 7:00p.m., we reached his block. When we arrived, all the my uncles, aunts and cousins were already there. We were the last ones! It was rather embarrassing. At that time, the food had not arrived yet, so my siblings, cousins and I went into the room to play games while the adults chatted in the living area.
About half an hour later, the food came. There were many mouth-watering dishes that night, including my favourites - suckling pig and lotus buns.
After a sumptuous and filling dinner, we ended the party the traditional way - with the birthday cake for dessert. my parents took out my grandfather's birthday cake. It was a dark-brown sponge cake, coated with think, rich chocolate cream, and to finish it were the words "Happy Birthday" written with cream-white icing sugar. It was from the well-known chocolate-making company called "Awfully Chocolate".
After dessert, we left for home. It was already late at night, but we were hardly tired. It was a very merry and special celebration indeed.
Here are some pictures from the dinner:
