I am amazed at my cousin's five year old son, Ryan. Pardon me, I don't know what to call him in terms of Chinese ways of calling people. U know how us Chinese have different methods of calling close relatives, like there's a different term for uncle, aunt, niece, nephew etc, and different term for different sides as in mum's side of the family and dad's side of the family.

It's quite complicated. But I call him Ryan, like duh.. what else would I call him as. Wonder what he calls me?? He calls my mum gu po, but mum dislikes people calling her gu po. She says it makes her sound old. But my ah chim (which is my aunt at my dad's side, my dad's brother's wife), said once that she would be really happy if someone calls her gu po.

Anyhow, the reason why I'm amazed is he has got a blog!! I was like what is a 5 yo doing with a blog?? And he writes really well for a 5 yo!! I only started blogging yr 12 maybe!! And he's starting at 5. I salute u... man!! But really, I never really talk to him ever. Like never okay. Well, when I'm back home, he's still 1 and u don't expect a 1 yo to speak much yes?? Don't think he remembers us but maybe he does. Well... he says in his blog that he remembers us but maybe not specifically.

As much as I hate to admit it, I do miss them. I used to hate their teasing, making fun of this and that, but I do miss them. It's true, Asians are not very family-oriented people. Australia has help me to escape all the unnecessary family squabbles. But, kinda think about them once in a while, about how each and everyone of their lives has evolve into, what they are up to, are they happy or sad. Besides, we're still a family. I still think about my aunt regularly, my er yi (mum's second sis). And of course my da jiu and er jiu up at 29th mile, I wonder how his life is now. Occasionally, I think about how all my cousins are doing, those working and those studying atm. And of course those with families. I wonder if they ever thought of us. But, I don't care.

Speaking of which, my cousin Onn Onn koko is getting married this coming Nov. Looks like we'll be missing it. But, really happy. About time koko... about time.
