We had a maternal relatives gathering at Amara Hotel for buffet to celebrate Mother's Day today. It's an annual affair, beside Christmas and Chinese New Year gatherings.
As usual Dad, would be the organiser and he would source for a makan venue and mum would assist him in the headcount. Hmm... now I know where I got my events genes - from Dad!
We had quite a good turn out of about 25 and 5 kids. Dinner was a spread of international buffet to feed the hungry growing teens in our midst. And we had fun table-hopping catching up with one another. However, the finale was when Dad carjoled all the mummies to go for the free drinks, which comes with the Mother's Day promotion at the lounge at the other end of the lobby. And they also had belly dance performance too.
Thought it was quite a funny scene to see a 3-generation of 14 ladies ranging from the age group of 20s to 80s hanging out a lounge and making so much noise! As we walked in, the lounge patrons were staring at us, especially at my 3 elderly folks. Most of us had fruit juices, while Ah Ma and gang had plain water. As usual the younger ones would prefer some alcoholic drinks, however, MeiMei was cornered by my aunties to just order juices. Haha! Not much of a choice, when you are out with people from another generation!
Just in case you are wondering where are the guys. Our spies Jake & MeiMei reported that they were starting to feel restless hanging around and babysitting the kids, while waiting for us ladies to finish off our drinks.
Happy Mother's Day!
