28 Dec 2023 – LAM-Group+Friends Christmas Lunch




Mon: thank you to Ivy&Les for this amazing scrumptious Christmas buffet lunch spread@TanglinClub. They started this wonderful family tradition since their first grandchild, Kiera(here in white between her grandparents in this pix)was born, when she was sleeping in her baby-car-seat! Today she is back for holidays from her U in the USA.

With some of my siblings+some of their flock – pix credits to David.


This year even Albert got into the mood bringing more PartyPoppers which I first discovered 10yrs ago. Pix credits to David and MeiPin.

Started bringing these 10yrs ago and what a fantastic action pix from David when none of us knew what to expect from these poppers then. Beth was as cute as a button all excited to gather as much of the confetti on the floor! December 2013 – Here-There-Everywhere – This-That-Everything (amylamsg.com)

Today was told by Betty, our head server who has been taking care of us since?? that the Grinch from past Christmas, too long a story, but the family knows who I am referring to. Anyway, the news is that he has passed on some years ago, so there shouldn’t be any more complains about ppl making merry for the season-hahaha!
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more – Dr. Seuss


Tue: was so tired yesterday, had to crash before 2100hrs last night and got up by 0230hrs this morning. It was meant to be as with this time difference it gave me a good opportunity to chat&catch up with my flock&friends in Norway&USA.
