It was Daddy Lim's company informal yet official gathering. The venue - a company bungalow tucked in Pasir Ris. We didn't join Daddy Lim last year but decided to do so this year.
I know most of his colleagues, having worked in the company for 9 years. It does feel like home ground to a large extent. It feels really nice to see so many familiar faces.
We had thought of letting the kids swim in the pool. The pool was "clean" but many different kinds of insects decided to take a dip too and never made it out alive. The kids ended up playing fishing dead insects out of the pool game. They also had fun exploring the big house. There were plenty of food. I think they ordered enuff to feed hundreds but there were like less than 100 of us. Durians go by 2 big basket full, chicken and ducks, Tim sum, pizzas, Indian rojak, Shepard pies and the list goes on.
Towards the end of the gathering, they had quizzes and were giving out prizes and Lil Shauna said that she really wanted a prize but I duno the answers to any of the questions. Eventually, one of Daddy Lim's colleagues who won 2 prizes decided to give those to the kids and they were so thrilled.
Lil Shauna was pleased even when told that the prizes were likely to be biscuits or chocolates. Lil Isaac insisted that his was a car and was disappointed when he ripped open the wrapper to find biscuits. Lol. But the biscuits were put to good use on the way back - Lil Isaac was too obsessed with playing and didn't eat much.
