How quickly the months go by and it was time again for our Reunion Dinner! My aunt, now 88, was the host and we were a table of 12 at the CRC Restaurant last Sunday evening. It was good to catch up with my cousins, most of whom I only meet once a year as they don't live in Penang! Everybody still looks the same despite another year added on, I guess our family has good genes, even my aunt looks more like in her 70's than in the 80's! Here are some pictures from the dinner - my aunt asked me to photograph every dish for her future reference!

 |
| Steamed prawns with chilly sauce |
 |
| Steamed Grouper |
 |
| Seafood noodles |
Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the dessert which was sesame balls served with warm sweet lotus seed soup. It was a good dinner though I must say I always feel rather guilty when the roast suckling pig is served. It seems rather cruel to enjoy a baby pig which has given up its life for us, so I usually eat a small piece (and only one) to please my host.
I have still not managed to get a copy of the group photo we took before dinner. Hope my aunt remembers to send it to me.
May I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous Year of the Horse.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
