On Saturday

we woke up and went to meet dear son's paternal grandparents for breakfast before all headed home to take a rest.

.

Apparently the parents had caught cough virus somewhere out there and are both nursing their throat as much as possible, drinking the cough syrup then lie flat to sleep, wake up, drink "Liang Teh" and lie back to sleep again.

.

Mummy is slightly better - she has been burying her head in the household chores despite nursing her rather itchy throat.

.

In the late afternoon, we pulled ourselves off the bed and headed to Uncle Larry's place as the gang had planned for BBQ session in the evening as part of a surprise for Aunty Hong. We arrived at Uncle Larry's place and first got "L" rinsed before we washed up to join the rest at the pit.

.

.
We barbequed and ate our food before retreating to the function room for cool atmosphere coupled with coffee and chit chat. The children were very delighted to have a small corner of the room to play with their mini-cars as the adults enjoyed the cozy gather.

By quarter past 9pm, we prepared to give the birthday lady our surprise! We got the cake ready and switched off the light. Then, we sang the birthday song.........to the surprise of the birthday girl Aunty Hong....

.

.

Yes, Aunty Hong was definitely delighted that evening as she did not expect a surprise 'party' thrown for her birthday. We did not even notify Uncle How (her hubby) in advance as we afraid that he'll leak out the 'secret mission'. So in the end, it turned out very well as we anticipated.

.

.

Everyone enjoyed the coffee cake and the additional 'kink' of the night, with honey wine. It was really a sumptuous Saturday night and opppsss......Daddy and Mummy is supposed to nurse both their throats isn't it. Heh heh.......luckily we made sure that Sunday is a must-rest day for all of us.
