Mum's 68th birthday

This week seems to be the week to get really Fat, Dumb and Happy. At the very least - it is a week to put on some pounds (or Kg for the metric minded). My mum's birthday falls on the 25th of this month, but I shall be somewhere in the air between Beijing and KL on that day. So, to celebrate her birthday, the Tehs, Yeohs, Yaps, Cheahs and relatives were invited to the East of Highway Restaurant in Seri Kembangan. We have been eating there over the years and it so happens that today, there is also a writeup of the place in the Star ( http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2007/8/19/sundaymetro/18582307&sec=sundaymetro ). They serve reasonably good Szechuan food.

More than 30 years ago, my mum worked for the Mr Teh Gin Sooi's family. He was the secretary of Badminton Association of Malaysia. They allowed us to stay with them in Lucky Gardens in Bangsar and in many ways, they were like a surrogate family to us. When the older Tehs retired, my mum went on to work for their eldest daughter - June Yeoh. So, in a way, today's lunch was a family lunch. I had also invited my brother to join us.

As usual, mum ordered enough food to feed not only the 2 tables. We could have fed at least 4 tables of guests!! Siew Yong arranged the bouquet of flowers and Allan the birthday cake (no - that is Alex holding the flowers for Grandma)

Well, it is her 68th. Happy birthday mum
