National Day Family Gathering


Hello everyone,

First of all I would like to thank our cousin for setting up this blog so that we can all be connected one way or the other. The family tree was great!!

So first let me introduce myself. I am Patrick the eldest grandson of my grandmother (Liew Boon Heng) is the reason or link to how we are connected to the Liew Family Life. While she is not here anymore, we as the third generation will try to keep the Greater Liew Family connected. So let me introduce our branch of the family tree.

Recently, we got together at my place at Towner Road for our very own National Day celebrations. Everyone (well almost everyone) was here so we took this opportunity to take a family photo. Their names (and how I am related to them):

1st row: wei li (cousin), wei han (cousin), yik zhong (sister's bf), wanfen (sister)
2nd row: ah lien (aunt - uncle's wife - sorry we all call her bishan auntie heh dont really know her full name), hong guat (mother), cynthia (aunt - father's sister),  joanne (aunt - uncle's wife - aka yishun auntie), tami (maid)
3rd row: wan li (cousin), hung yuen (uncle - husband of ah lien), kwok yuen (father), ricardo (family friend), patrick (me), wei hao (cousin), tai yuen (uncle - husband of joanne), wan wei (cousin)
absent with apologies: michael (cynthia's husband), wan hui (my other sister), grace (cynthia's daughter)

We are going to have a family chalet to celebrate wei hao's 21st birthday, it will be from 8th nov till 12th nov. Everyone connected to the Liew Family Tree is invited
Once the details are finalised I will inform cousin Giin Bo.

Ok thats it for me hope to see you guys and gals at the chalet

Cheers

Hi Patrick

Very happy to see your post, it is very informative (names and photos) and heartwarming as well to see extended members of your family gathering together, esp so to sing Majulah Singapura together! Nice to see your dog in the photo as well :) The chalet is a wonderful idea and I will rally my side of the family to attend. In the meantime, could I suggest we organise a Mooncake Festival to get together. Venue probably at my place and please bring your dog as well. I will also ask my bro Ben to post the family photo taken during his wedding last year. Cheers.

Hi Patrick, my 2nd Bro alerted me to your posting so I rushed to have a look. Many thanks for posting! I have to admit most of the faces in the photo are unfamiliar to me (except for the Uncles and Aunties). Really looking forward to meeting up with the rest of the Liew family. Will pass a family photo to my bro (Giin Bo)so that he can help ID the people. Ciao

Hi Patrick

As this is a public forum, I will send you my home address via email. Also, I have to find out when is the date for Mooncake Festival.

Looking forward!
