Cousins United

1st January, Tuesday

I've always been very close to some of my younger cousins,

since my mum took care of them since they were babies.

Babies?! You might be asking..

Yup, I'm way older than them as their dads, my uncles 

were also a lot younger than my mum. I also helped

my mum out to take care of them last time and they're

all grown up now. Man, for me to say that, I really

feel old indeed.. >.<

But ever since my grams passed away 4 years ago, we hardly had the

chance to meet up, specially during cny and I missed them so much.. :(

But everybody's been so busy with their own lives and commitments,

it's just hard to find the right time to gather everybody..

So the only time when all of us were able to see everybody

was actually during my grams funeral. Sigh..

Sad things aside..

So I was whatapping one of them, Shirleen who's always buy

stuff for J during her travelling (she's a cabin crew) about

meeting up soon and she quickly got the rest in the chatgroup.

And I really love that it's so random and spontaneous and

most of them can make it to my place on new year's day.. :)

Well, actually not all of them.. I still have a lot more cousins

but it'll be crazy to gather all of them.. My mum has 9 siblings.. :P

And I'm not close to all of them anyway..

They packed some food/tidbits over and everybody's

happy to see everybody! And they were all groaning & smacking

their heads when I made J called them uncles & aunts, hahaha!

Hey, must teach him to respect the elders kay?! Lol..

We had such a good time catching up on each other's

lives and laughing hysterically all the time.

I would do it again in a heartbeat. :)

And it seemed like yesterday when I was still a kid myself

and they were just babies or tots and I was carrying them and

caring for them. So when I looked at them now, really made me

reminisce those moments. And I kept telling Jingyi that! Heh.. 

Jingyi on the left and Lingyi on the right.

They're kids from my youngest uncle and Lingyi's one of the

youngest cousins, in sec 3 now.

which is his passion and something he enjoys doing.

I'm glad J got along well with all of them too..

Priceless family picture.
