3Oth May 2008 (Friday):
After our brunch at 818 Restaurant in Donggongon, we headed to my parents' place as Sean wanted to do his "big business". Then after that, we proceeded to Giant Hypermarket in Kolombong to do some groceries shopping. We passed by KDCA and saw many cars parked by the road side. At night, Mama (Nian Tahing) invited us for steamboat at her home. Sorry no pictures on the first day.

31st May 2008 (Saturday):
An early morning at the Royal China in Lido. We went up and we were stunned to see so many people outside the restaurant waiting to be seated. So, we registered with the hostess. But to our surprise, our table is ready after waiting for emmm 10 minutes. Probably because we came in a small number. When we entered the restaurant, the place is full with people. We chose our dim sum and ordered fried tang hoon. We ordered 3 rounds of dim sum. And the price we paid, RM52.10 for 2 Adults and 3 Kids. Burp! Opss...Excuse me!

Then at night time, Lajangan Clan Association organized a Kaamatan gathering for all the clan at the residence of Mr. Alex. We didn't get to celebrate last year. It is a great affair where we get to see relatives from far and near. Gail! I met your mum there as well.

Wow Sharon... I'm so cracking up here reading the "cita-cita" of all the Unduk Ngadau Seniors...LOL. I enjoyed browsing each and everyone of the beautiful Kaamatan pictures too. Those dim sums really make me drool... I've been to that restaurant once last year when we balik kampung... quite nice. I sure do not want to miss it next year when we balik kampung...
