16 Dec 1942,my mum was borned. We just celebrated her 42th birthday with some simple fare without our dad. My sister brought her clique to our house to celebrate my mum's birthday! Haha...weird, isn't it?
I thought the fun just stop on 16 Dec.The next day,i have a video editing course which ended around 4+. I enjoyed the course thoroughly as i marvelled at how the pre and post production worked in a drama. Continuity is very important which require everyone to work closely if not they will have to pay thousands to reshoot that particular scene only!
Rain,splash,thud....haiz...just before we were about to leave, the rain came. I hate it! So Xi Hui, Mei Zhu,Jee Da and me sat down and did econ hwk due on mon. But i'm not in the mood!We 'gossiped' a little while trying to concentrate,of course Jee da isn't that nosey, he continued to do his wk.
'Ring...ring'.....i called my mum.Well,i have a reunion dinner with a distant relative yesterday evening. My mum's younger cousin who married a Hong Konger and has migrated to Australia. She has 2 sons who i was trying to figure how they looked like! Naturally,i tried to dress up a little. But i think i was too fickle-minded as i changed my bottom almost 4 times. Skirt or jeans? haha, inthe end, i wore a slim fit top and jeans. When we reached Jumbo Seafood Restaurant near Jurong Bird Park,the restaurant seemed to stop functioning. SO we decided to go to the nearest restaurant - Boon Lay Raja Restaurant. Actually, when i saw all my young cousins who dressed casually, i was shocked. i thinked i over-dressed! ok...who cares...the thing is to meet 'biao yi ma' and 'biao ge'. It was at the carpark that i got a close up of the 2 cousins. They seemed old to me and the younger one looked like he's 17. i thought they looked like some taiwanese boyband but with some feel of Eurasian look. You know, that close-up isn't exactly good, i don't even know how to describe them propeerly.
We were split into 2 tables. The children took 1 table and the adults, another. Of course i took the children's table and the 2 cousins sat with their mom. Got to know that they speak only english and Cantonese. Obviously, they felt damn bored as they have each other for company when all the elders chattered away.
Then the children ahve finished their meal and gathered around the elders. They were talking some ghost stories. My mum was the story teller. They were in Perth. One night, in the hotel room, my mum and her sis were fast asleep. For some reason, my mum woked up and saw someone sitting by the edge of my aunt's bed,stroking my aunt. She woke my aunt and told her. Imagine the shock! For the rest of the story, i did not bother to hear as i was fascinated with my cousin's (another one who's 27 yrs old) Nokia 7610! Suddenly,i heard a loud thud! My uncle hit the table when apparently my mum was at the crux of the ghost sory. My eyes shifted to the 2 cousins. The elder boy who's the same age as me ( but he looked like 20+!) widened his eyes and i guessed he must have felt that it was rude to hit the table! I don't know, it's really distant. All along, they were whispering in each other's ears just like little boys( the younger brother is about 15 years old, shocked!). i was labelled by my sister as being 'hua chi', nomatter which guy i see, i will go ga-ga over him. But hey, who doesn't when that guy meet your requirements...haiz..but to think of it, it's a shallow thing to do! i believed in inner beauty but couldn't resist to check out the other party good looks! Ok,i shall stop here and stop contradicting myself.
It was time to leave, my fifth uncle suggested that next christmas we should organcise a beauty pagent as he saw all girls were growing into swans!haha...u know..catwalk...Q&A...blah..blah.Time to say goodbye, my 3 sisters and i said and waved goodbye to them(we were going into 2 directions as they parked their car the onther side), and i saw the 2 cousins waved back spontaneously! Not bad, at least they were friendly!
The crux of today's happening : if only i took a small move...yes...a small move to initiate the introduction,i might get to know the 2 cousins better! I just hate that feeling - REGRET !! I don'tknow when can i get to see them again as they were leaving for Australia today at 11 am!
All the best, 'biao yi ma', 'biao ge' &' biao di'.
