Blood is thicker than water...

Just back from house warming. I'm full. Very full. I mean it... Really really full...

It was my cousin's new house. His father (my uncle) built it (a bungalow actually) for him as a present of his marriage on Jan 22, 2008! Congratualtions Lian Chai...

The house was not in a city nor a small town, but it was somewhere surrounded by paddy fields. Some of the fields are his. It sounded horror for city-dwellers, but if you went to have a look of it, perhaps you would love it. The house was really big, and so the surrounding. You may put a mat on the ground, just lay there to enjoy the starry night with breeze caressing your cheeks. It's really cozy and comfortable. I mean it. Besides, the house is really big enough to hold any family or perhaps relative function like a big BBQ. I'm sure the fireworks performance is absolutely perfect to be played there. Imagine, there is no end you could see with your naked eyes at night, just flat and endless paddy fields, the fireworks will surely be the brightest!

Tonight many (almost all my relatives) were here. Everyone was busy chatting while eating steamboat and drinking. And the ridiculous thing was my uncle insisted of not receiving any ang paus. The reason was the marriage was really around the corner, he didn't want to burden anyone. And so all the food and beverage were free!! Haha... But for me the main point is not this, I think, most importantly, my uncle and my cousin were willing to let relatives to visit, eat, drink, play, and chat in their house bungalow. I went to some friends' bungalow before, they were too selfish, and reminded us from time to time of not dropping any food on the floor. Sweat...

Today function made me suddenly feel that blood is thicker than water. I've been planning to migrate if ever I've the chance; but, my friend asked me that ever if I can migrate together with my immediate family members, how about my aunties and uncles. He said further that when my parents grow older and older, they would really wish to see and connect more with their parents and siblings. My friend even condemned my selfishness of grabbing away my parents' precious time with their parents and siblings if ever I migrate. =( Perhaps migrating is not something easy, I really have to ponder about it... *smile*


P/s: No photo taken during the house warming. I was too shy to do so. Perhaps I come from a big family, every action being done must not be odd, or something 38 as it is monitored by all the aunties and uncles! =.=
