If you think the Weasleys are a big family, then you're probably not of Chinese descent :P ( Read more... )

xD let me think. In my family, each uncle/aunt has three to four children. If all of them have at least three children, then that means I have at least 24x3 cousins... 72! O.O I'm shocked now. I didn't do the math earlier

Yeah, I have relatives I've never met too :D esp. since the first three children from my father's side stays in another city far from here :3

Wow, your family is huge.
Mine is is kinda big too. My Mom is the oldest of seven. And my Dad is a second from five.And... since my great grandma is still alive (she's 89 now) so we're still close with my Mom's cousins (there are six of them).
Fortunately, each of them only has 1 or 2 children, but still...

Out of our generation, I'm the third oldest. I'm 19, my youngest cousin is a new-born, and there's still one more uncle who hasn't married yet (my youngest uncle is just 8 years older than me). I've got so many dongsaengs, it's soo noisy at Idl Fitri.

Oo... I have cousins who are already 40 something. Most of my older cousins already have children and they're already big :P

I know~ that's what happens during family gatherings at my place too. I'm overwhelmed sometimes :P

Btw, I'm sorry that your fic is taking so long. I got stuck in the middle and don't know how to continue it -______-;;; in fact, I just got to the point where Junsu first found out about Jae's problem...

Ok your family & relatives are really a lot lol
My dad's side has a total of 6 boys (incl himself) & 3 girls while my mom's side has a total of 2 boys (but actually one is adopted) and 5 girls (but one given away). My dad is the eldest so me & my siblings are the eldest grandchildren. My status is of uhm grand aunt on both dad's and mom's sides ^^; I also have a cousin who is only 7-8 years old lol. So my cousin's children have an uncle who is roughly same age as them XD My grandparents from both sides are no longer with us though and even an aunt and an uncle.

DId you go back to Indonesia for CNY? That's why the big family gatherings? :) Sorry I haven't been much around LJ other than to get some dl links and OMTD haha....also a few fics here there which I usually try to read while travelling to from work ^^; Hope everything is well for you~!

Apparently it's believed that having a lot of children brings good luck. My father said my grandmother has been married since she was sixteen, and continues giving birth until she's well over 40, as her youngest children are not yet 40 and she's already 81 this year

In my family, however, even if you're older, doesn't mean your children will be older too :P in fact, a couple of my father's little siblings have children older than even my older sister :P the fifth child's oldest son (my father's the fourth) is actually 6 years older than I am! xD talk about getting married late :P on my father's case, of course

Yeap I try to always go back for CNY :D

What's OMTD? :D

I know~ I've bee waiting for your comments *sulks in a corner*

What's your job now? :D I'm always curious about things like this

I know I am so slow in flist here. In fact I actually loaded the main friends page and this entry of yours was the first one I saw so I quickly opened in another tab to comment before I got distracted with doing stuff again. Anyhow I am so sorry m-_-m ( ... )

I know~ every time I tell my friends how big my family is they're always surprised :P apparently even the tenth mark isn't hit often, so having thirteen children is quite a feat

ok... talking about THE FAMILY... let's see... my father side = 12 (9 lives); mother side = 11; cousins = +/- 25 each side so 50 from both...; nephews and nieces around 15 (from both side)... so... 9+11+50+15 = 85... huaaa... that's A LOT...
