Reunion Dinner

This year, I had reunion dinner with 4 other families, in a restaurant, near little India. I used to dread seeing my relatives, but surprisingly, I look forward to meeting them this year. I'm glad that there isn't conversation about "Oh my son is a first class honours graduate" and "oh my son is the head of private banking in Hong Leong" etc...

This year's dinner was full of laughter and joy and SURPRISES!!!!

Surprise 1 and this is the BIGGEST SURPRISE! My cousin's maternal grandma, who is 65 y.o, widowed for many years, just got attached to someone. And Guess WHAT!! The biggest shock is that this person is a lady! A butch 6 years of age younger! This is the oldest lesbian couple I've seen.

Surprise 2... My aunty, who is divorced for MANY years, brought her ex husband to the reunion dinner!!!

Surprise 3... Another cousin, is migrating to Canada really soon, with her french boyfriend. She has been with him for many years, but did not believe in marriage, because she didnt want to get married for the sake of getting married.

And I love surprises. I am expecting more surprises to surface when I do visitings tomorrow. Wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Holidays =)
