Somewhat of a Reunion Dinner

Just had a dinner with my paternal uncles, aunties and cousins, as one of my aunty and her family has came back to Singapore from Canada, on a short holiday. Its been really long since I have seen them, and boy have my cousins grown. One has shot up so much that he is almost a head taller than me, and another has matured and grown pretty. The last time I saw them, I still remember them in children's clothes walking around, all shy and quiet. Somehow it felt good having this dinner with my father's side relatives, as we usually only meet up during chinese new year. In fact, the last time two times I saw my aunty (from Canada) was only when she came back because my grandparents had passed on.

Well, as usual, when relatives meet up, its always the same topic about work, studies, hardships of life, and my brother will always get the "got girlfriend?" question, and my mum will always worry. Haha.

Well, you know, at the same time, its really scary how we have all grown up so quickly. In the past, when we meet up, our parents will always talk about us in school, this subject, that tuition etc. etc. But now, the topics are all different. Its about us working, going overseas, studying in the universities, getting ready to step into the working world. Hmm, dun really know how to explain, but man, it has suddenly struck me that perhaps the next time my aunty and her family comes back for their next holiday, our parents might all have retired, and we take over the roles of the matured working adults. Scary.
