29 December 2007 - Seenivasagam family gathering
We, the grandchildren of my maternal grandparents organised a family get together on the 29th December 2007.The Venue : Function room at KMS, Theme : 50 's and 60's.
We started of with the opening ceremony where my grandmother lighted the vilakku followed by her daughters and daughter in laws
We gave the 11 of them a lyric's book each (70 songs were compiled and had both the English and Tamil version), CD of the slide show and photographs. We thought this would be an ideal door gift since everyone of them love singing and they can use this for future gatherings.
The programme was continued with the slide show , prepared by Me and Sumi. Lots of hard work were put into this.We collected old photographs from each family......and created a story.... a story about the journey of my grandparents who came from India and started their family here in Malaysia and how much the family has achieved now compared to their very humble beginning.
We included a sound clip of my grandfather ( who passed on in 2003)into our presentation and that deffinitely was a pleasant shock for many........some were in tears......
The effort we put in was paid off when everyone had good reviews.....
The day continued with the buffet and was followed by performances by the kiddies.....
The floor was then open to all..........each and everyone participated ( though we had one who ....let me just skip it ....not worth mentioning anyway)
This was definitely a gathering to remember.It would have been great if my grandfather was still around to see this. Though he is no longer with us physically, he is always in our thoughts. His presence was felt by all....... that day...
We have planned to do this gathering on a yearly basis with different themes. Hopefully, we don't have to face any problems that we faced this time round. I am hoping that people will be more mature by then......I really do....cause it is so silly dealing with silly people..............over silly things......
Though there were some crappy stuffs that happen in between, but the outcome was awesome and everyone enjoyed the day...........I am sure the photos speaks for itself........
Mr Seeni.....I know you enjoyed it toooo....LOVE U ALWAYS
