Once upon a time, there's this 2 very close girlfriends. One with 2 children, 1 son and 1 daughter. The other with NINE children. (how can she ever do that?!) One day, the lady with 2 children was saying, "Since you've got so many children, why not give one?" She was purely joking, but the other lady take it seriously and gave her one son of her own blood and flesh.
Many years down the road, the lady with 2 children, now 3. The daughter got married to a Cantonese and moved to Hong Kong for long. Her own son, got married to a girl at the age of 20, whose age was 18 at that time, and now they have 2 children, one son with 2 kids, one daughter with a fiance. The other son which her good friend gave to her, got 2 kids himself now. Just that he got divorced with his wife, and the children are living with his wife now.
Despite of being an "outsider", without any blood relations, this whole family doesn't feel that way. Their relationships are so much stronger and lovelier than other families that flow the same blood, but yet they act like complete strangers. Even though the son wasn't related to them at all, after the divorce, the brother even gave the wife a job, provided her and her children with a house and all other things that they need, in fact, he don't just meet their needs, their wants and desires too. Making sure they are not living a life full of harship. There is this strong bond in this great and big family.
And this is... my lovely and caring family.
The child that was given away to my current grandmother, is my daddy. Seriously speaking, I don't even know anyone that exist in my "real" family. In fact, I have no idea who are my cousins, uncles or aunties.
I've got to say, I'm truly a blessed girl. If I was compared to others, I really live a better life. If one day, someone in my family say something like, "you don't truly belong to this family, so you have no right to say or do anything." I'll be very hurt. I really wish that this day would never come. Although I am pretty sure it won't happen anytime soon, as looking at the condition of my family now, it's really doing well. But whocan ever predict the future except God.
Reunion dinners are always so fun and love-filled. We had steamboat and mini "bbq". Haha. Food are like flying everywhere, and oil splattering around, people screaming "ouch" here and there around the table all the time. And my cousin refuse to wear a shirt, saying it's too hot but yet complaing that the oil is splattering on him. How dumb.
My uncle's place.
Can you see the small little lantans and banner? My uncle actually bothered to out them up.
My niece and I
Making life worthwhile
My BAD cousin teaching his daughter to throw "bombs" at us. How nice huh!
She was trying to share it with someone. But ended up posing for the camera. Cutie!
The sparkle of hope I saw.
Pass it on.
My niece didn't want us to leave.
She wants to follow us home! Haha.
But she ran back home in the end. Just because her daddy say wanna play more fire-crakers. Kids. Haha.
Retarted.
Weirdo to your left.
Was in my mum's boyfriend's car, and the radio started playing this cheerleading song. My sister and I was going high like nobody's business. Haha. We were singing and rocking our head.
My new wallet!
I find it rather "lian". But it's really nice. I had a hard time taking to decide white or gold. So appreciate the effort. Haha.
The end of CNY's eve. Let's end with a really nice song of my mood now.
Welcome to a new day
Don't know whats on the way
But whatever it is I'll be ready
On your mark get set go
Here's the show and the road
But with you it's a load I can carry
And with each breath I would take it
Every moment gonna make it
CHORUS
It's a wonderful crazy
It's a beautiful out of control
Kinda scary amazing
But I don't really mind at all
It's like I'm falling, flying, laughing, crying
Hanging on and letting go
Cause my life's so wonderful crazy crazy
Some days get intense
And breakdown my defense
But I'm here and I'm not giving up
Gonna take in the sights
On the ride of my life
Living just to survive's not enough
So much love to discover
I don't need any other
CHORUS
Crazy and I'm willing but embracing
Like a feeling of the strange and the new
All the love found in you
CHORUS
It's a beautiful crazy
I'ts a beautiful out of control
Kinda scary amazing
But I don't really mind at all
-Katelyn Tarver "Wonderful Crazy"
