Gong Gong's 70th Birthday Bash!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GONG GONG! My Gong Gong is all of SEVENTY today...this definitely calls for a celebration! We booked a room at Yan Ting Restaurant @ St. Regis Hotel to celebrate Gong Gong's 70th Birthday!

Our family picture. Check out my Gong Gong in his outfit...doesn't he look oh-so cute?!

The Bentley came to pick our Very Important Birthday Boy and his companions - Ma Ma & Ah Gou to the Hotel...no less!

One more picture before driving off...

The menu for tonight's Dinner...

The delectable bowl of shark's fin soup...wonder how many poor sharkies were killed...but what can I say...I love shark's fin soup...

Roasted Chicken & Soft Shell Crab...

Oyster Mornay & Abalone...

The Noodles. The younger generation folks are supposed to find long strands of noodles in their bowl to give to the Birthday Boy to wish him Longevity and Good Health...

All waiting in line to offer their noodles to Gong Gong...

Mommy's turn...

Lil' Angel is happy because it's time to cut the Birthday Cake!

Here's wishing Gong Gong a Blessed 70th Birthday!

Wild Rocket...

We went to Wild Rocket for lunch with Ah-Gou Adeline and some of our relatives today. Chef Willin is Ah-Gou's ex-classmate and good friend in Law School so Ah-Gou decided to drop by the cafe and she asked us along too...

Delicious Crustacean Oil Pasta with Scallops and Prawns...

There were a lot more appetizers and mains which we ordered but I'm not posting the pictures here in case you get super hungry after reading this post! There are still the desserts!

Fun At Pasir Ris Park...

Since Lil' Angel didn't get a chance to play at the Ikea playground, we decided to bring her to the playground at Pasir Ris Park...it will be her first time there...we haven't been there in a long while too...

The lazy angel didn't feel like walking. Her favourite trick currently is to fall onto the ground if she doesn't want to walk...she doesn't care if the ground is dirty or not...for she knows that Mommy will definitely pick her up if she does this...any tips on how to stop this behaviour before Mommy breaks her back carrying an almost 12kg load around, anyone?

Looking very pleased that her trick worked so well...

We realised that we were at the wrong part of the Park...the playground is a little further down...so we walked back to the car to drive nearer to the playground. On the way back to the car, we passed by the river...

Quite a number of people were out jogging, cycling and fishing...

Ahhhh...we finally reached the playground. Lil' Angel couldn't contain her excitement!

I'm going to slide down this super long slide!

And off she goes...

All ready for the big plunge...

Wheeeeeeeeee...

That's fun!

Oh Look...there's another super long slide...

There she goes again...

I love SLIDES!

Going on the baby one this time...

Sliding down with style...

She decided to go on the rickety bridge next...she wanted to cross the bridge by herself...

But it's too challenging...so Mommy crosses it with Lil' Angel, hand-in-hand...

Faster, Mommy!

Lil' Angel is looking at...

Daddy swinging right and left on the elevated Merry-Go-Round...

Lil' Angel spotted yet another slide...she could climb up the slope by herself...

One-Two-Three...GOoooooo!

Whoooosh!

Trying to cross the rope bridge this time...

It definitely wasn't easy...that's about the furthest she went...

Slides are still the best!

Lil' Angel got very excited when she saw...

This gor gor jumping up and down on the equipment! Oh..she loves older boys...she will go near them, point at them and say GOR GOR...

Enjoying the cool breeze...

Trying to climb up the "Jack and the Beanstalk"...

Lil' Angel posing!

If I had known that we will be going to the playground...I wouldn't have let her worn a white pants! Look at how dirty the pants became...

Lil' Angel saying BYE to the playground. We'll definitely come back again..it's FUN!
