family. relatives
just got back from a simple impromptu BBQ with my mum side's family.
(and we thought it was one of the kid's bd.. but actually not!)
it was simple and enjoyable.
like always.
i wouldn't deny, i am really tired.
but the company was great.
:)
my so-call, aunts and uncles;
were the ones that saw us growing up.
i spent weekends at their homes.
my grand aunty was like my mum's 2nd mother.
her children were like my biggg bros&sisters..
i remember them bringing me out when they were dating!!!
even on cny trips to collect extra ang pows! :P
..but now they are all married and their kids are all grown la!!
today we were sitting down n chatting amongst ourselves like adults.
sipping beer/wine... H2o, sarsi.. Eating grapes, chicken wings, satay...
and their children running around and all.
it was really something.
especially to me.
i think i am really a grown up now.
thou in their eyes still i am the younger bunch but in other areas.. an adult.
it is very different from my dad's side where i am and will always be the baby of the family..
and the thing i enjoyed most was seeing them as a big family, siblings, partners, children...
all together and all well..
they enjoy the simplest things as a family.
; like when the wine-cork was too dry that it fell into the bottle..
we almost wanted to filter it with socks! haha.. but in the end my uncle used a cup which he poked holes in.
its warmer then the weather i'd say! haha.
reminds me of the gd old times we had at my grandaunt's lil house..
this special home we loves to gather in...
it was abit like CNy.. but nt exactly..
we should really do this more often~
its nice~
i feel very much all grown up today.

on the side note.
one of my aunt asked me where's my bf..
i said: " i'm single already"
she laughed and replied: "i know ah, i today also single.."
I REALLY wondered if she thinks i am kidding or wad..
then she say.. " oh u got rid of ur slug today.." she joked!
and i said.. "i really am single la.."
then the Food came.
HAHA.
but its alright.
but it sure made me wanna laugh.
remembering on my 21st bday.. :) the girlie batch/some of them and their children!*
if only..
i had the prettier picture in me.
if i had the right you.
i would be telling you stories of them..
and them telling you stories of me..
and me picturing us in due time...
like simple humans..
like happy humans..
not extravagant..
but just in berms, tees.. chatting somewhere..
with kids, family all around by the table and everywhere in smiles..
