Triple birthday celebrations : Apr-17

Hong, Ally and Thea birthdays are all close together from End-Apr to Early-May, as such, Dor 'killed 3 birds with 1 stone' and celebrates them all in one big event!  And FYI, this was Thea's 1st birthday celebration!

They booked a chalet and a BBQ pit at the newly renovated NTUC downtown east and we started off with a BBQ feast first before moving back to the chalet for the cake cutting. It must had been more than 20 years since my last BBQ session at the chalet, how time had past so quickly.
