34 Years and Counting

During our last date at Simply Retro, there was a group of people who were having their 20 years reunion celebration. What is 20 years? The SHSS aunties and I had known each other when we were 13; this is our 34th year. What is even more interesting is that our friendship is passed on to our kids and they knew each other from birth. When Nana and Boo were in the same CCA in NH, their mates were so amused. While the aunties have our chat groups and meet up, the teenagers are doing the same as well. God has blessed this group abundantly. 

It all start with Ms Teo, our Spiritual teacher and vball. I can only say that it is God’s plan in putting this group together. There were years where it was harder to catch and meet up with Ms Teo but thankfully, she has time for us this round and we get to celebrate her bday. 

Ms Teo suggested that we would do BBQ at her place. What!??! Shouldn’t we be dressed up nicely and eating comfortably at some restaurant? We even double confirmed if she meant like a Korea BBQ place. Haha. She offered to prepare the food but we took over - let’s take the easy way and order BBQ package. 

We arrived from 4pm onwards to receive the food delivery. It was raining on and off the entire day. Thankfully, the rain stopped by 4pm, leaving us nice and cool weather. 

For almost all the BBQs that I have been to, the fire would be set up by some men, and it was the same for the aunties. We were wondering if we would manage that but Auntie TL showed us what is Girl Power. 

The fire/ heat ran hot and strong the entire evening. I must clap for her. 

The 1st shift with the BBQ-ing. 

They actually did most of the heavy lifting. There wasn’t much left for Auntie H and I to BBQ. While they did the heavy lifting, we busied ourselves with taking pictures and food tester. Hoho. 

Of course we need to do the ceremonial cake cutting. 

Thankfully, Auntie SL managed to get us a tiny cake, and we all had a tiny slice after all the BBQ food. 

Did we finish the food? No ah, and Auntie J tabao for her hungry teenager at home. We all went home with a full tummy and heart. I got a free ride from Auntie H too! Hoho.

To many more years ahead.
