FAMILY!
I've been extremely happy this few days, not to mention the fact that its Chinese New Year too. =)
Like what my family have been doing every year, we went to my dad's godmum's house for reunion dinner. I agree it sounds weird, as we are not related at all, but, they do treat us like family we feel really comfortable whenever we go there. This year was a bit different for me. For the past years that we've been there, i avoided talking to the kids who are around my age, maybe i'm just shy (Ha ha). But i made effort to do it this year, and its not even difficult at all. =)
Like what my family have been doing every year, we headed off to Malaysia! But this year was a bit different for us. We made a stop at my auntie's house first, then from there, we went to Malaysia. The thing is, i get to spend time quality time with my wonderful nephew and niece, Douglas and Faith. We watched Monster Inc. on the car and laughed over the funny characters. Just recalling it made me feel so much younger!! They are really intelligent too, very unlike me when i was their age =)
Like what my family have been doing every year, we reached Johor at ar
ound 10pm and waited for the fireworks put up by our neighbours. (Putting up fireworks are illegal, especially when people put up those mega loud and brights one, its actually easier for them to be caught, but....the people do get away with it..) But this year was different. It rained. So there were no fireworks. All the kids, including me, were quite disappointed. Yet, because of the rain, all of us stayed inside and we get to catch up with one another. Like, I know how my cousin is doing in school and how their curriculum is getting heavier. He is doing 11 subjects. Like, i talked to my cousin's husband, who i now know is a very funny person.

Or should, i say they've grown since they were still very tiny last year. And OMGosh they are so cute and adorable and pinch-able and delicious-looking. I totally changed my opinion towards children..especially after my another nephew and niece arrived the following day, which is a 初一. Since both of them were breed and born in the States, they have this cute accent when they talk. I had this conversation with one of them.
Abby: I love princesses! [In Disneyland] We watched the princess parade. I love Santa Claus too! *Giggle*
Me: But Santa Claus is not a princess.......
Abby: *burst into fits of laughter*
Me: And he doesnt wear a dress......
Abby: *Laughter goes on...*
Now, the real reason i'm feeling so happy is not because i feel younger when i play with them, and definitely nothing to do with the hongbaos i'm receiving, its the family warmth i can practically sense covering the entire house. Seeing them enjoying themselves, laughing over lame jokes, kids bickering over toys and stuffing their faces with food just fills me up with happiness and bliss. The feeling is that great. =)
I'm already looking forward to our next gathering.
