i have just spent 1 hour over lunch listening to my maternal grandma tell me the story of her grandparents and the subsequent 3 generations.. coolness! now i can finally decipher the relationship between all the ah mms, ah pehs, zek gongs, sin mas, yi mas and yi gongs spread over malaysia and singapore (very complicated), and have finally figured out how come i have so many relatives in both countries..
so exciting! i could write a book on our family history or something, provided i can find out enough to write a book that is... and that all the elders have good and relatively accurate memories... but i'm sure there are enough stories to compete with the longest essay i've ever written anyway (15 pages) haha.. though, as wai po enthusiastically pointed out, it'll have to wait til i finish my exams, or after i graduate...
remind me to blog all this sometime.. all the family scandals and migrations are infinitely more interesting than the pap.
oh pfffffft.
