1st Day of the New Year

I didn't know i had so many relatives...especially on my father's side.
My pri 3 cousin named Samuel was given the job of counting the no. of ppl in my father's mother's sister-in-law's, aka my grandaunt-in-law's flat and was given $1 for every name...guess what....he got $50.
My generation is really growing up.10 years ago all the cousins(about 15 small kids) would be running around playing catching or hide and seek, now only those in primary school and below are doing that(about 5 small kids).Families nowadays are really getting smaller...
Every year the new year routine in my home is the same...wake up, father's side comes over for lunch and set off in a small line towards the yearly gathering point.
Next destination is my mother's side...reach there and watch TV together, have dinner together and watch TV again,together.
I'm really lucky to have so many relatives...so many that i don't even know some of them...and additions are arriving all the time...
I found out that one of my distant cousins is in VS band playing clarinet, and is performing at the Istana like, on Monday...

Is the whole band going to Mr. Wong's house on Mon?I can still vividly remember how the whole band walked there last year...will that happen this year?Everyone no matter how big or small sized, tall or short, gd or bad, bitchy or not walked there...so many ppl that we arrived in two big groups to greet billowing smoke from those tame firecrackers which were not so tame after all...what time are we meeting, where, how many ppl...i still dunno....
Anyway, i wish everyone a happy new year filled with excess fish and increased height for every step taken(especially for Tim) :)
