Yesterday was my dear Ah Kong's funeral. All his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were there, together with some relatives to pay our last tribute to the great man.
As Ah Kong's close family members, everyone of us mourn for him and we were given different "badge" (I don't know what it is called in English) to show our different relationship with Ah Kong. Well, the eight great grandchildren of Ah Kong had the most special "badge". There's this string of red or pink ribbon tied across them, just like in beauty pageant. Red is for those with the same surname with Ah Kong (child of sons of Ah Kong's sons) and Pink for those with different surname (child of sons/daughters of Ah Kong's daughters or child of daughters of Ah Kong's sons).
And so we had all these "beauty queens" post for us. It's a rare occasion that all 8 of them could get together. And the kiddos love it. They remained seated for a period longer than what we expected.

This "badges" thing for great grandchildren is all new to me. Now you will have to list who's who in the photo for me(obviously I know Grace).
Okie...here's the list from left to right
xin er (phei san's),venus (khai shuen's),yu xin (khai hong's),qi shuen (khai hong's),harrisson (phei ling's),grace (mine),henry (khai shuen's),shao han (khai shuen's)
Thanks. Daniu told me earlier on FB but he didn't tell me their names. I actually guessed one right, Phei San's daughter, looks just like her.
