A blue moon's family gathering.
Today is a rare day among the days of rarity. The family gathered and headed over to Serangoon for the celebration of a Baby's First Month. The baby's my cousin's newborn boy. It's a rare event that most of the family gathered. It's been years since a gathering like such took place. Ever since my Grandma passed away, there left almost no meaning to the gathering of the various households. Even though SOMETIMES, we do gather, it's more of like within 2 families, instead of all of us. This is especially so since a dear aunt of mine is no longer around. It's been partially the reason why my family's not a very 'family' family. Though at times I'd really yearn for some sort of family love.
Nevertheless, we gathered today for Yong Chu's 1st Month celebration. Many arrived at their place at Serangoon, had some food from the buffet spread and chat a bit. I got to see my darling Ethan and Denyze. He's still as adorable and she's already 8 months old and it's the first time I'm seeing her. That's how ironic this family is. Anyway, it was fun seeing Ethan, that lil' bundle of joy. And also Denyze who took fancy to me and allowed me and not the others to carry her. XD Denyze resembles a boy too! Just like Dy in her younger days! I also saw people like Yao Rong, who is already 15! I felt DAMN OLD. He's already such a grown boy, a young fine man. Baby Boy Yong Chu was very adorable too, he resembles his Daddy.
It has been a fine day. I do fancy such gatherings and my heart went out to a certain auntie of mine. She's been taking care of me since I was a kid. Now that her kids have grown and so has her 2 grandchildren, she's somewhat alone. It's a pretty sad thing to see. Now, who says that having kids is a good thing?
Anyway, we headed to Hougang Mall after which to get some stuff. I got another book to read. I've already completed Goodnight, Beautiful by Dorothy Koomson. It's the first time I cried so much reading a book. I cried for a good 4-5 Chapters last night. I'm totally impressed and amazed by the way Dorothy Koomson is able to grasp the emotions of the readers, so close and true.
Anyway, I ought to get some rest. I seriously think I'm not in the best of health of late. The body just seems to be rebelling in a way. It sucks to be constantly feeling unwell. Sighs.
