Happy New Year
Cousin's girlfriend thought we were twins.
It's funny how distant we are from our cousins now when we used to go crazy playing catching together at my aunt's place. Awkward turtles now.
Somehow reunion dinners and the visiting seems to have lost their intent as the years pass. We eat, try to make small talk (with Fiona having to endure comments that artists will not survive), then focus my attention on whatever the tv happens to be playing at the time. It's like more of an obligation which revolves around the word 'tradition'. And of course, for the kids to get their red packets (Heh).
I'm not saying this is true for all families. There were a lot of jokes and chatter going on with my maternal family during our reunion dinner which is kinda ironic since I see a lot more of the paternal side of my family.
Just sayin'. Gonna enjoy the break from fyp! :)
