I used to have it when my grandpa is still around when i am younger. But ever since he is gone, relatives seldom gather together. To have ALL the aunties and uncles to gather around that would most probably only be on somebody funeral. Like at my fifth uncle funeral recently, (i did not go for i was working) most of the uncles came with their sons and daughters too. Its like a rare thing to see so many uncles gather i guess... Of cos i dun wish that to happen.
Basically, gathering doesn't happen in Chinese new year too for my mom's siblings are too many. Basically 10 siblings and the siblings have their family and grandson so if really they gathered, it would really need a very big place to do so. If really had to add the number of people i guess probably about 100? If only grandpa is around and still able to have 5 generation together. But anyway my grandpa died at very old age.
I do envy people with big family e.g. having 2 siblings and above. Its really fun to have so many people around and so many big sister and big brother to care for them. I know with too many siblings quarrels tend to happen frequent too but also maybe more care and concern and with many people sharing the burden too. With elder sister, you are able to share clothing, bags and shoes with each other. And with elder brother, there is someone whom can protect u from the bullies. Isnt it great?? I guess this is much a luxury thing for me.
That's why i like to have family dinner together and have it arranged till everyone (esp my busy brother) are able to make it. But this arrangement needs time too for my brother is always busy with his ENTERTAINMENTS thus no time for his FAMILY. So i seriously treasure lunch/dinner with my family.
Talking about family lunch, last sunday 28june, i made a reservation at Shangri-la Hotel @ the Line Restaurant to celebrate my mom's bdae. Its a international brunch buffet. Since my mom is 62 years old thus able to get 62% discount on overall bill. Its a pity that i ate quite little that day. But anyway on diet also cant eat much else putting on weight.
Anyway the food there is yummy-licious esp if u like seafood like fresh oysters, lobsters, prawns, mussels, clams and sashimi. Then it will be simply worth the money.
Let the picture do the talking then.
