Today is Man's birthday, which is celebrated on the 7th day of the Chinese Lunar New Year. As the restaurants would be fully booked to celebrate "everyone's birthday", we, the MGS goldies decided to celebrate a day earlier.
So yesterday we had a celebratory lunch at a restaurant in one of the swanky malls. Although we had hoped for a larger turnout, only seven of us came. We had been classmates from form 1 right up to form 5 in MGS or the Methodist Girls' School.
We started off with the traditional "yee sang". This time we had jelly fish yee sang since one of us didn't want to eat raw fish, which would have been salmon. The first picture is the yee sang without the condiments.
In the second picture you can see a small packet which contains crackers which is to be sprinkled on top of the salad, followed by the sweet sauce and ground peanuts.
The third picture shows the yee sang ready to be tossed for prosperity, good health and all that we desire for the year.
Here we are tossing the yee sang!
We are Seven! The seven goldies who are grannies but for one who returned to Malaysia to escape the winter in the UK. We are the ones who made it for the Yan Yat lunch. Kudos to us from the class of '59!
