granduncle: there was a dog in the drain outside and it was stuck so I called the police. anyway so then the bloody stupid policewoman asked me for the dog's license number and I said, woman, the dog is stuck in the drain. I cannot see his license number. I need you to come and get him out. and then the policewoman said, him? and I said yes, him. and the policewoman said: how do you know the dog's gender? and I said woman, stop putting the cart before the horse! and the policewoman sighed very irritably and said, can you get your facts straight please? and I said what? and she said, slowly, like I was stupid or something, the animal inside the drain, so is it a dog or a horse.

CNY today was like every other CNY, really. Visited the grandma in the morning, and just sat around as lunch got ready and set up the table/ used the phone/ tried not to sleep (after sleeping at 3.30 in the morning cos of... Doob. And filial piety LOL). Lunch with my grandma and three uncles.
After that we hovered a bit more and then my cousins (they're really old, they have kids our age) and all their kids came in with my closest aunt whom I love a lottt I realise, even though I never get to talk to her. She was... my childhood aunt ahah. And then my siblings and I retreated to the kitchen and sat there.
How much we didn't know each other was really quite saddening, but the thing is, I didn't seem to care. They're more than half my family (rabbits, I swear) but I just don't mind not knowing them.
Ah well.
So then about fifteen minutes into their arrival (and saying a few more words then Happy New Year! to one particularly friendly cousin) we just left, and then I looked at my uncles and aunts and it was just like... rush of emotions, really? Like in the midst of all that unfamiliarity I found someone I know.
Haha so emo.
But really.
:( If only I could speak teochew then I could talk to my ahma.
