My 60th Birthday

My 60th Birthday was over last week, which I was not prepared for any celebration. To me, a birthday is just the first day of another 365 days journey around the sun. You will enjoy the 'TRIP' if you 'organize' yourself.

If you know me, you will know that I am a simple lady, not demanding, no fancy with sophisticated food............ My two daughters knowing my 'style', they organized a steam-boat cum BBQ dinner at our Bukit Jalil house on 4th Sept. Everything was well planned. Thanks to Carol and Evelyn for the arrangements and the endless love that is still surrounding me and keeping me safe.

Happy moment with family and friends

(Time may be a great healer, but I hope it's not a lousy beautician)

Suprised!! Suprised......!! On 5th morning, when I was busy with my daily job routine in my room, someone called nainai. I was shocked when I saw Joanne and my two grandkids. I never expected to see them at this time as I was told by YL that he was coming back from Tokyo on 12th. Everything was arranged much earlier without my knowledge. I felt proud and happy, their irreplaceable heartiness, love and understanding are the sources of my strength. Thanks to Uncle Soong, My 3 wonderful children, Joanne, Peter together with my 3 grandchildren for joining me on this special day. It was truely a Suprised Joy to have all of you surrounded me.

YL from Tokyo arrived Singapore at 2am on 5th morning

drove all the way home to share this Suprised 60th Birthday lunch with us
and back to Singapore after lunch.

M O R E 27 >>> 31 august

When I say 828, the 'YONG' knows what it means. In conjunction with the celebration on this day, Taijie and I took the opportunity to meet our brother and sister who was not able to join us in Telok Intan. After three delightful days with the birthday girl, we spend a night in Cameron Highlands. From there, with the Simpang Pulai way, we went to Ipoh for another night. During these days I manage to catch some shots I like. I decided to post more pictures, as it tells a thousand words.

It was lunch hour when we reached T. Intan on 27th. With no hesitation we went for our 1st best of the best "Steam Fresh Fishead." Uncle Tan was there, to make sure we get a place to be seated. A VIP welcome for three of us. Thanks to Alice & Tan.

Happy Birthday to our most caring sister ALICE
She always knows how to give and to share.

She knows the true art of loving and giving.

FUN on 828

The YONG sisters and brothers arranged to meet in Telok Intan on 828 on the occasion of our most caring sister Alice's birthday. Tai Jie, Irene and myself arranged to meet a day earlier so that we could have sufficient time to do some shopping around. I presume the birthday girl had been busy planning and organising the 'party' for weeks to ensure that this was a night that all of us would always remember. The hard work resulted in a hilarious and fun-filled night of shared memories and laughter. Thank you Alice for taking off your precious time to entertain us with much fun, all the good food, comfortable 5 stars hotel and .............."We Will Be Back!!"

Happy birthday girl Alice

Sweet memories were made of these

Our brother Roger, I have not seen him so happy before. His speeches were amusing.
He entertained us from twist, cha cha and others ballroom dance.

Myself........ I Wish!!

I was born the middle of nine children, on the six day of September in Cameron Highlands, Pahang. I grew up happy, in a loving, close-knit family. Time passes quickly, I will be 60 soon. I considered myself blunt, but very dependable.

Today, I am a mom with three wonderful children. My eldest son was married with two kids. 2nd daughter is also married with a baby of 10 months. Evelyn my youngest daughter doing her course at the MONASH University.

There maybe a big generation gap between children and parents, but I know that in one's heart of hearts, this gap is invisible. Well, I guess I would say to my children, nieces, nephews and friends whatever the distance may be................ Love your moms while you got them, make every day mother's day or mom's birthday. Days like today won't be as tough, because you know that you didn't wait for a calander to tell you to make mom feel special. A.G.R.E.E. ??

I am a happy mom

(to me I think everyday is my birthday when I open my eyes in the morning)
