Family Weekend Part One - Lor Mee Ma's House

Random squawk: I've just got wind that the "powers that be" are reading my blog. This power is even greater than the last one, because whilst the last one couldn't touch me, this one can and most probably will. I'm going to have to watch my words real carefully from now on.

A long lost relative of my maternal family finally came back to SG and my maternal grandmother was so excited that she threw a house party and invited most of her relatives.

I brought along my new SL700 for the occasion and got some great shots. The following pictures I am going to post is classified into two catergories - Descriptive, and Artistic.

Let's start with the Descriptive.


Because we were lazy to ride, all three of us, Cudas, Lazy and I took a cab to my grandma's place.


Cudas.



So we got there, and realized that the HDB flat right next to the big S11 in AMK central has evevators that go down from the first floor. And only down.



A lot of people were there, you can tell by the number of shoes.



JenX was still sleeping even though there were many people mulling about there already.


Here's the obligatory funny photo of her.


And here's another one.

The table was spread with tons of goodies, and we did not hesitate to sit down and eat.



And here are the main attractions of the day, grandma and her long lost elder sister.



They look so much alike that they got me wondering why there were two ah mas at the table when I first entered the house.

The other main attraction was her daughter, better known to Cudas and me as Story Yee Yee. She used to tell us lots of stories when we were very young. I remember it was at my great grandfather's funeral, and we were to stay the night. To keep us quiet and out of our mother's hair, she kept us entertained at the stone tablet behind the wake area with exciting stories and stories of princesses and heroes.

She disappeared from my memory soon after. I don't really know what happened but that there was a tiff between my grandmum and her elder sister.



Story Yee Yee's the one in green.

And here's a photo I found incredibly funny because it might've happened to me when I was younger.


HELP!

Heh.

And following in the footsteps of Cudas, I've taken an interest in photo-taking. There were a couple of really nice ones I took on that day, and here it is.

Please bear in mind that I haven't actually took any classes nor read any book on this subject, so it's still very amateurish.
