Ties that bind
I realised I haven't been talking much about my family and over the years I discovered that my paternal side of the family has the most interesting stories ever. It's a pretty huge family and we could be a Taiwan drama serial. Trust me on that. We have enough characters and plus our drastically different backgrounds, we could take over tv, heck we could overrule wa meng ti!
I shall start by introducing my grandparents.
I don't think my ahgong is from China but idk bout his dad. Anyhoo, there's a portrait of my great-granddad hanging on one if the walls at my ahgong's place. I wonder of it would be disrespectful if I took a picture of it and posted it here. I hope not. D: okay my ahgong has siblings but I'm not sure how many. I know he has a brother cuz he visits us every CNY. My ahgong used to be a painter, according to my dad and idk what happened after that but apparently I think he's into construction and architect and somehow he became pretty rich after slogging it out so that's his life story I guess?
Idk how he met my ahma but anyway they got married and had 5 boys and 1 girl. My dad's the third boy and the fourth kid.
Woah feels like I'm explaining the family tree wahaha
Okay my first uncle (the first boy) is<br>
married to my first aunt. They have three kids, their first girl is the oldest grandchild, I think she's in her 20s. Their second is the first grandson and the youngest is a girl, who's 2 years older than me and we hang out pretty often.
My second uncle (second boy of course) is married to my second aunt and they also have three kids in the same order. Girl, boy (second grandson), girl. Their youngest is one year younger than me and we do crazy stuff tgt. My second uncle owns this packaging company under the moniker 'Eli'. Seems like every family business has the name 'Eli' O_O will elaborate soon enough.
Next is my aunt. She's married to guzhang. My aunt is a dentist and is also my dentist. I go to her clinic quite frequently. The equipment/instruments there are super cool but I don't like them when they're in my mouth :( anyway, the name of her clinic is Eli Dental (haha free advertising and publicity). My guzhang owns this optical shop, wait for it, Eli Optical and that's where I got my specs from. :p I hardly ever see my guzhang, only in the clinic where he picks my aunt from work. They have four girls and they're all extremely intelligent. The youngest is two years younger than me and we do the stupidest stuff ever. Like, texting each other pick up lines and other no life stuff DON'T JUDGE US.
And then there's my dad. He's married to my mum of course and there's me and Tim. According to my mum, I was the only grandchild my ahgong visited in the hospital after she delivered me and all my uncles and aunts were like 'waaah' haha I should be honoured right? Haoliangirl_96
Anyhoo, when I was younger my ahma used to call me Xiao chilli, in other words, small chilli. I have no cell of an idea why. Btw, I used to live at my grandparents' place when u was really young and I had a pet parrot which makes me cool. Hehehe
Anyway, Tim is the third grandson.
Okay time to makan my dad bought his iPhone 4. I shall continue my life story soon enough. Farewell for now!
