Every year we do 2 reunion dinners on the same night. We go over to my mum’s place at 6pm, then head back for dinner at 8pm with the hub’s family. It’s a good thing we live close to my mum.

For as long as I can remember, we’ve always had steamboat for our family’s reunion dinner. We all love steamboat, and I’m glad the kids do as well. There’s just something so comforting about traditions that you carry through from your childhood all the way to adulthood.

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of this plant. The flowers only bloom during Chinese new year. Apparently, the Chinese buy living blooms to decorate the house as it signifies rebirth. My mum has one growing in her garden! How lovely. The vibrant colours really lifts my mood 🙂
