Yesterday, she celebrated her birthday at Kingwood hotel. Many of my cousins, siblings and families went back to Sibu. Unfortunately I didn't. I have just returned from my month long holiday.
According to some Chinese customs, when a person has reached 100, or has 5 generations, when she dies, there would be no tears. It would be celebration. No mourning clothes, but everyone would don in red.
Here's her beautiful cake, 10 tiers, one tier for each decade of her life. Photo by my cousin Bart. Helping her cut the cake is my aunt, Rose Chan. I don't know what my bro Henry is doing there. He must be wanting to taste the cake.
Happy Birthday, Grandma.
