Family Matters

I must be getting old. I am experiencing a strange sensation of appreciation for my extended family, which I have not quite felt before. I actually was glad for them! For my dear cousin, Kev's sake, I have indicated their "designations" here - Kev, this is so you might be reminded of who's who before you return, and remember to call them correctly! :)


Suddenly, I appreciate the aunties and uncles that I have in a greater measure than ever before. Suddenly, the value of family is quite pleasant. Unlike the sense of feeling "watched" before (which creates wariness and suspicion in me), now I just feel "looked after" and "thought about" (which creates a sense of care and concern). How weird this change... I really must be getting old...

Today, we had lunch together at the Charming Garden restaurant at Copthorne Orchid Hotel because my 4-Peh and family were in town.



We had a delectable feast of dim sum treats. My favourite is chee cheong fun. Tua Goh (Eldest Aunt) treated all of us. She's my dad's eldest sister.

My dad (who passed away in 1990) is second youngest out of 10 kids, and Kev and Gina's dad, 4-Peh, is only one year older than my dad. This is my dad, whom I miss very much. But at least I know he's with God in heaven, so someday, I'll see you soon, pa!

Anyway, I got to hang out with my not-so-l'il cousin Gina again before they returned to Subang Jaya in the afternoon... which was cool, cos we got to take lots of pictures of our aunties and uncles, and chatted some more. Do you know, she's actually 13 years younger than me! I can't believe that the little girl I once carried is now, wow, 18 years old... and I, of course, am feeling a tad O-L-D. After all, I am now 31 and 5 days old :)
