My dad’s life seems to be constantly filled with organising outrageously grandiose balls, throwing crazy dance parties, eating at Chinese restaurants 3 times a week, meeting various Australian + Chinese politicians and knowing everybody’s uncle’s son’s wife’s brother’s 3rd grade teacher.

And it’s funny because he’s the same guy who dances around and makes stupid googly-eyed faces at my kids.

Anyway he turned 60 on the weekend, and in true form, he invited 250 of his closest friends to celebrate with a huge dinner, a live band, Chinese opera singing and a bunch of aunties in miniskirts, fishnets and sparkly blue eyeshadow who surprised him with a “performance”.

His buddies at Chung Wah also surprised him with a lion dance! Callum SCREAMED when the drums started up. But by the end of it, he was scolding the lions, “Naughty lions! Throw salad! Make mess on the floor! Oh dear very messy everywhere.”
Haha. It was a fun evening.
