.4 generations.

On the 2nd June 2008 i finally had a family gathering(mummy's side)and almost everyone was there.i havent had this kind of family gathering since like 9-10 years ago(yes that long ago).the reason we had this gathering was he celebrate my 3 years old nephew's birthday.he is living in australia and came to malaysia and singapore for a 2weeks holiday.walking into the home where we use to gather,brought back so much memories to me,even to the smallest details.I could still remember it so clearly the joy and the fun i use to have with my cousins before and after dinner,the exact places i climbed and jump down just for the fun of it(and of course with no one looking),the chair which i use to sleep on,playing in the kitchen area which involves flour,salt and pepper,my normal spot on the dining table and especially running straight in my granddad's arms and hugging him so tightly.All these are still so fresh in my memories.it seems like it was just yesterday all this had happen.


so much have changed since then.Like everything in the house dont seem as big and as high as it use to be(maybe coz i was smaller then,so everything seems huge to me..hahaha..),i wasnt being chased and bullied by my cousins anymore(i was sort of the youngest), also,this is the first time that my aunty which was the one cooking dinner for the family(the last time it was my grandmum) and also, there were 3 additional groups of people present!!Firstly ,there were the in-laws as some of my cousins are already married.Secondly,ian and one of my cousin's girlfriend was also there.Lastly,there was the 4th generation,my cousins' children(there are 3 of them but only 2 came,coz the youngest is still a baby).there are so adorable.now,they are the ones making the noise and the mess in the house,not me and my cousins..hahaha.actually i wasnt aware that 4 generations of the Tan family was present until like half way through dinner only.haha..i kept on thinking the were one 3 generation of the Tan family was present.
And during dinner,as i watching my 2 little nephews play,i suddenly realized that the 'little car' that one of my nephew was sitting in was actually my toy when i was younger..it was my toy!!!i repeat,MY TOY!! and its still in good condition until today(thats like more then 12 years ago)hahaha..Just to see my nephew having so much fun with it,just couldnt make me stop smiling to myself


u know,this is one of my most amazing nights i had.i really which i could put it into words how i actually felt but its too great till no words could describe the way i feel about my this precious moment!
