Cousins

Its the cousins' meetup today and even tho' dh had scoured thru his numerous cookbooks in anticipation of bringing another one of his culinary masterpieces to share with the cousins, he had had to shelf his ideas as he is just recovering from his bout of cough. Kids are not welcomed at these meetups so all the kiddos have been dunked at their sitters' for the evening =P. This is one gathering we always try not to miss as its really tough to arrange given everyone's busy schedule.

We were happy to see that Chuen Fei and Chuen Neng were able to join us. Chuen Neng is our brilliant cousin who has such a long string of titles at the end of his emails (his signature) that I am stumped as to what his roles actually are. He is 'head' of a long string of departments at NUH, Dept of Cardiac, Thoracic & Vascular Surgery, Dept of Surgery etc.

The 2 professors (on the left) in the extended family and 1 retired (so that she can go travelling!) lawyer (on the right) make for some interesting banter when they get together. Food, wine and good company
