I found the soundtrack for
Overtime!!!! Yes!!!!! Overtime is this Japanese drama that I followed in JC1 and I cried buckets throughout the show cuz it was so touching... I literally cried buckets for the ending... Because it was so tragic... but now looking back, also because the ending was realistic, and it deprived me of my fairy tale ending...
Anyways, Granny's Birthday today... So everyone came round for an early dinner. There was:
- hainanese boiled white chicken (without the rice) x 2
- braised dark soy sauce duck
- fried yellow noodles
- fried "mee tai mak"
- pig stomach lining "zhu du" soup
- roast duck x 3 (cuz 2 different families both bought duck, IN ADDITION to the braised duck Mummy did)
- 3 different types of crystal buns
- siew mai x 2 cake boxes (40? 50?)
- fried fish with orange sauce x 2
- pheonix eggs (some random thing that one uncle bought that up till now, i have no idea what is inside).
Dessert was shou tao (lotus buns), enough to feed 4 3-generation families and a chocolate champagne cake. That is a lot of food. I think barely half was finished, and as with all other years, was packed for breakfast/lunch/dinner for the next few days for the relatives. The cake was good though. Bought from Cake History. I recommend it. Very nice!
It was really weird for me... Cuz I have not met most of these relatives for nearly 2 years since i was not around for Granny's bday last year. First of all, they all started mistooking me for my 2nd sister (who had to attend a school-related function). It's like, juz because I was aboard, it was as though i cease to exist anymore. Had to correct so many people that "wo shi zui xiao de, bu shi lao er". Then there were 3 babies and a 5-year old boy. Where did these kids come from???? There was our dear Matthew, 1-year-old Charlene (cousin Kelvin's daughter), 3-month-old Tricia, together with her 5-year-old brother Travis (________'s (I forgot his name) kids)
Come 2-3 years' time, my house would become a playground with all the kids screaming and shouting and running. I *can't* wait.
