Wedding invites for relatives

Finally, I have cleared 2 days in distributing wedding invites to close relatives. It was really an exhausted & also eventful experience which increase a notch in the level of bond between me and my parents. On day 1, we started at 12pm and ended at a good 7pm moving from house to house. Even though my mum is still experiencing discomfort with her worn out knees, never once did she complaint. And my Dad was even more excited than me throughout the process, where he masterminded how we should go about the distribution. Kara was not allowed to come along because my relatives can only see her on the actual day... really funny chinese tradition.

So my Dad took on the leadership cap and it went really well. This distribution also gave me an opportunity to mingle and meet up with many relatives. Haha... and this also marks the day where I realize my Chan family ties is really wide & extensive, covering more than 20 homes in 7 hrs.

So thank you "Pa & Ma" for being such a great help & blessing... :)

And the other memorable thing was when we were at my nanny's place to pass her the invite. It brought back loads of precious & lovely memories where I was a kid. And I often address her as "Ma ma" instead of "Lao Khin". I stayed with her when I was just a few months old till about 3. Even though I can't remember much, there is always this deep sense of connection when I am back at the unit.

So here are some pictures of the place where I grew up with other friends...
