I don't have the date of this birthday. It could be on 10 December 1976. This was in my grandfather's house next door, at 460-H Cangkat Minden, Jalan 7, Gelugor, Penang. Only three families were involved - my grandfather's family, his wife's sister, and my mother's family.

Family Reunion 1974

My grandfather often organised family reunions for his birthdays, either at home, at hotels or by the beach. I have never been to any of the functions as I was either in college or studying overseas. My elder sister Sharifah narrated stories of how happy everyone was and all the joy they had. The photos tell everything.
