Yesterday we went for a gathering with Baby's ex-school-classmates at Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant @ Quality Hotel Singapore. We haven't really meet for almost a year, and it was a belated gathering for CNY.
They chose a vegetarian restaurant because SoonSiang's wife, Pei Shan was a vegetarian. Initially both of us thought that the food wasn't going to be impressive, or should I say, contenting. Since it's all going to be vegetarian, we thought that the food was going to be all glutons. Suprisingly, they had a wide variety of choices. From carrot cakes, siew mai, cha siew buns, sushi, fake mutton, fake pork, to fake sharks fin soup. It was a buffet style dining and you get to eat till u drop.

Weilin & Evon's Baby - Ling Ling...Cutex!
I was rather surprised to see so many diners there. In the past I would go to quality hotel for their supper porridge buffet with my ex-colleagues. Now, we have more choices for dinning.
Evon told us alot about her life now, taking care of her baby girl ling ling. She actually gave up her job to be a full time house wife, taking care of her baby. Majority of ladies out there think that it's a sacrifice of their own freedom and career to take care of their children at home. But I feel that it's important that at least one parent is there, all the time, to take care of their child. To be able to watch the whole process of your child's growth, be there when they walk their first step, speak their first word, and take care of them if they (touch wood) fall sick. If I have my own children, I will make sure that I have ample time to take care of them. If I have to give up my work to take care of my children, I might consider doing that too.
After our heartfelt dinner, we went to Bliss @ Punggol Park. Though the following day was Monday, we chatted all the way till 12.30am. All of us felt that we should meet up more often, rather then doing it once a year. It's quite enjoyable and we get to update each other on our lives more often. Looking forward to another gathering.
