1st Ezah Family Reunion

The Joimols

On Saturday 1st August 2009, the Ezah family (our family - the Joimols, are descendants of Majani Ezah) had our 1st family reunion held at Mamai Anselmus Dusain Majani's residence.

Lots of activities were held with the objective of having family members and relations getting to know each other better. Of these activities, there was of course the family portraits. Unfortunately, at the time the Joimols were getting their group photo taken, I was emceeing the presentation of prizes to the children. And Fred, he was still at work - chairing his company's Regional Meeting.

So, the 2.5 of us (Fred, Me & Poppy) took a separate photo much later in the afternoon:



My sister-in-law Elva and little Rederick also managed to make it to the reunion. Little Rederick at 10 months can walk and run a little already. He's such a happy boy, always drooling and smiling showing off his 4 front teeth:

The Children's Games/Sports events were held earlier in the morning (8.00 am - 10.00 am). It was such fun chairing this part of the whole reunion thing. I had help from my aunts, cousins and nieces in arranging for this part. Here are just some of the pictures taken:
Treasure Hunt (searching for coins in a plate covered with flour)

Limbo rock - see how round I've become! I feel like humpty dumpty with boobies at this stage


Eating competition. That's Anne Anne up there trying to finish her watermelon.


Remember this game? Coconut Shell race - my cousin Susanna and her kids together with my cousin Jevitus were huge help in finding these coconut shells. We kept them after the reunion so that next time, we don't have to beg those pasar aunties to give to us.


Team event: Passing rubber bands scavenged from a plate of flour using straws to the end of the line. We had 3 teams of 5 members each. All were guaranteed winners of course - either 1st, 2nd or 3rd placing!
