A Bigger Gathering

With each relaxation of the covid rule, my heart does a little cartwheel. Hohoho. The possibility to be outdoor without mask is liberating, the increase of group size to 10 is well celebrated. Woohoo!

When we finally resumed the monthly gathering, it was almost an adult only affair bcos of the group size restriction. Only the tiniests of the group get the opportunity to tag along. Our last gathering on Sunday saw a not-at-all tiny addition.

Bcos it was in between church and Chinese tuition and Daddy Lim was at work. Zaky got the chance to meet all the aunties in a long time. He has absolutely grew a lot in the last 2 years; in all directions. 

It was a Terrarium making session. The uninvited Zaky took my spot. 

It was a win-win situation bcos Zaky had a lot of fun. 

I was super glad that I didn't have to manage the soil and the roots. My heart was leaping with joy when I saw Zaky doing that on my behalf. 

I was contented with pictures taking with the end product, as if I was the creator. Hahahaha. Nobody knows...

Zaky was sent in a Grab to tuition right after he has completed the Terrarium. 

I enjoyed part 2 of the gathering a lot more. We went for coffee and desserts and had plenty of catching up. One of the main discussion points was the full force gathering with the removal of group size restriction. We counted, we have 8 adults and 15 kids! More if spouses are included. It feels a little bit like old times CNY gathering at the ah man's house. 

We decided that a function room is absolutely needed. Gathering at somebody's house is as good as helping the person 拆家. I offered our function room. Hahahaha. Nobody wanted to 路途遥远 to come to our place and Auntie J's place was the choice, with ours as a backup (evil grin). 

I am absolutely looking forward to the gathering. It had been 2 years as well since I last saw some of the kiddos in person. I wonder too how the kids would react to one another. Hmmm....
