Vancouver, Canada

We took our annual trip home to Vancouver,  with me (Sam) arriving on the 23rd March and David on the 23rd April.  Although it was a short visit for David (we left to go back to Singapore on the 2nd May), it was good to spend time with family and friends.

Sonny's 70th Birthday Party

During our visit to Vancouver, Sam's dad celebrated his 70th birthday and we threw a small party for him.  The party was held at a Chinese Seafood Restaurant and we invited close family and a few close family friends.  In keeping with tradition, we had a ten course meal that included deep fried crab claws, lobster, scallops, prawns, Rock Cod fish and noodles (for long-life).  The food was very good and was enjoyed by all.  To end the meal we had a selection of desserts that included coconut jelly, red bean soup and special steamed buns with lotus paste (served especially on birthdays).  We also enjoyed birthday cake - Pavlova, which was delicious.  It was an enjoyable evening with family and friends, and we are glad we could be there for Sonny's 70th birthday celebration.
