Isn't this a wonderful spread? Sushi, fried chicken wings, popiah, fried beehoon, party sausages, curry chicken, roasted duck, otah, turkey, yam cake, grapes.. these were but the beginning of our feast! They were later joined by kelly's baked rice, yoon lee's special chilli bbq seafood, and sharon's swenson ice-cream cake and bird's nest longan almond jelly!! Unlimited flow of soft drinks and red wine too.. Mere reminiscing also caused me to salivate! Victor claimed to always look forward to this once-a-year gathering because the food is always very very yummy!! ;)
This is the Hougang SAs' annual family get-together at Aunty Kristie's house. According to Kristie, we had over 40 adults and more than 30 children dining and running around in her house! Fortunately for Kristie's very sound-proof walls, our din was very well-contained. Oh ya, something unexpected happened - a blackout! But all was under control and Uncle Poh Lai had the house lit up again pretty shortly.
What used to be purely a Hougang SA thingy has evolved tremendously over the last two years - formerly Hougang SAs have spread their wings to Serangoon and Ang Mo Kio while Hougang has continued to welcome new SAs. While our dear mother-hen Huili is now vice PD chief, and Kristie, Betty and Pauline continue to take care of the Hougang and Serangoon SAs, Kelly and Joanne who have shifted far from Hougang quite a while back have also decided to continue their PD dedication in Bukit Batok and Toa Payoh respectively. Furthermore, three veteran SAs have graduated this year - Yoon Lee, Agnes and Yean Fong.
Agnes and Yean Fong have graduated from PD together with their P6 lion cubs to become FD auntys; Yoon Lee will now fully focus her time & attention on her 4-division district as well as her two young boys.
Nevertheless, I am sure Kristie will invite all again to this gathering a year from now, and she will have no qualms about getting a bigger house even if it is merely to host this once-a-year get-together for all of us! ;)
