Early Reunion Lunch

This year, my parents decided not to hold the reunion lunch at their place on the eve of CNY. They wanted to eat at a vegetarian restaurant on the second floor of Quality Hotel and booked a date 2 weeks before the actual day so as not to clash with the CNY crowd. It was kinda weird to be dressed in CNY clothes so early but we did it anyway to give the occasion the festive mood it deserves.

but they were moving around too much.

I think my Dad was disappointed that Jayna refused to be carried by him at his birthday celebration, so he pointedly sat beside her during the lunch. For 2 whole hours, my Dad tried to bond with her by chatting and entertaining her with things on the table, even bribing her with ice-cream!!! (Thankfully, I stopped him just in time... Phew!) All his hard work paid off when Jayna finally allowed him to carry her after we left the place. Well done, Dad!

when this picture was taken. LOL)
