98 years old!

Gerontologists like to classify old age into three periods:
  • The period from age 65-75, sometimes called the 'young old'
  • The period from age 75-85, sometimes called the 'old'
  • The period post age 85, sometimes referred to as the 'old old.'
Yesterday we celebrated our Father's 98th birthday. He must be a senior old old, closer to becoming a centeranian. We wish to celebrate his brithday in 2 years time in a big way. I
hope our wish will come true.





Following our family's Chinese tradition, the birthday boy has to peel 2 red eggs for good luck. Father swiftly peeled the eggs and ate both up.

The Birthday Cake that I baked...eh...no...bought!

Following our family's Chinese tradition, all of us at the party have to peel a red egg each for good luck. My niece Farah trying her best to do it as neatly as possible.








My son Feris, as usual, had everybody in stiches!










My sister Wan Lan looking very happy,probably because we praised her for her fried mee which was quite delicious!
