My grandmother from Teluk Intan is 95 this year, a stomach cancer survivor, brought up 5 sons (with a philandering husband), 3 grandchildren (although she has many more) and is a fantastic, absolutely brilliant cook.
Every year, we celebrate her birthday at a Chinese restaurant, sometimes grander than others but this year, we had to do it somewhere near her home and somewhere where a wheelchair could easily roll in. She is now very old and frail……
We give her an ang pow every year for good health and a long life (and so far it’s worked!).
We don’t see her very often at all because we are always busy with our day-to-day lives, so when she does get a chance to see the kids, she is delighted.
We asked T2 to give Ama her ang pow but she refused. My little baby loves ang pows…….what can I say?
After much failed coaxing, Daddy took it away from her but Ama promised she’d give her another in return.
Here you go, Ama….Happy Birthday!!!
Here’s a few back for you…..
But I still want my big pink one back, mumbles T2.
The food was good, as always……8 courses and a birthday cake.
Me and my girl, amused at funny faces. That very same night, we had another party.
When the lunch had ended, guess who got suckered into giving T1 a piggy back ride?
And another sucker gives T2 a ride too.
What can I say? I have suckers all around me. Aren’t we a lucky bunch?
