It's depressing to be separated from family all the time. Spending Christmas and New Year with the cousins has taught me that. It sucks to have people all over the world - aunt&uncle in Adelaide, their son in Japan, and the daughter in Sydney. If there's one thing that I really don't believe in, it's to have a family split up all over the place, and only congregating in Singapore every 2 years to meetup with everyone else. It's even worse when we're all on tenterhooks because of the uncertainty of the future and what will happen either sooner or later. I'm talking about my grandmother. The worst part is that it's impossible for my cousins to make any concrete plans to come back soon, cos of work commitments and such. It's been a wonderful past week, with everyone meeting up almost every evening, hanging out, talking, eating, drinking, taking photos, and the best part was seeing my grandmother so happy and even feeling so good that she cooked dinner for us all tonight. Why can't we just have more of this?Sometimes the world is just too huge... whoever made up that stupid song "It's A Small World After All" obviously didn't know anything about distances.
