Me. My Life. And Crap.



Sunday, February 8, 2009 @ 1:49 AM: The gathering of the "Chew"s
Wow, today was really an awesome day.


My dad told us we were going to meet up with a couple of his cousin's families for dinner.
They were also Chew family so it was okay I guess.
I've only met the 2 uncles, but their family? Never.


So we were told that we were going to a "restaurant Paris".
1st word that came to my mind was "OOOOOOOOOO"
So we all got ready around 5pm and began fretting on what we were gonna wear.
Coz my dad said the place was air-conditioned and so based on the name, we thought it was gonna be a classy restaurant.


Turns out, it was actually just "Restoran New Paris".
A chinese food restaurant just like any other.
Just that it was more famous and packed than others..
What a bummer.

Thank God we didn't over dress!! xDD


Anyway, we went through dinner fast and was done about 1/2hr later.
We did this without even talking to our new found "cousins".
Though the dads talked to the dads, while the moms talked with the moms.
Us kids/teens remained silent and only chatted among our own siblings.


After dinner we went over to one of the cousin's hse.
There, we finally were pushed by the adults to mingle.
I found out that the 2 brothers that lived in that hse was Kevin and Christopher.
One of them was taking their SPM this year and the other, well, apparently is younger so I'm guessing Form 4??


Then another 2 more cousins were from another uncle, who lived actually pretty nearby my hse.
They lived at a flat on the same street as my condo.
A place whre I pass by almsot everyday!!


Honestly, I don't reli remember their names xDD
I only remember the older sister, which is younger than me by a year is Yi Qian.
Then the other brother which is still in Form 3 this year, I 4got the name xD
Though I do remember he had a unique name tht I nvr heard of b4.


So after awhile, I began chatting with them about college life and soon found out frm that the 2 cousins that lived near me, also studied in the same secondary school as I did!!

So shocking!
Coz when I was in Form 5, my cousin sis was in form 4, meaning that we would have met at least a couple times b4 back in school.
But weird enough, I didn't remember her at all!!

This brought up a lot of topics which was where I found out that we shared quite a lot of friends.
What a cool yet shocking turn of events!

Though I wish i had knew that I had cousins in the same school as me before.
Then at least we wouldn't be such strangers up til now.
Sigh, that's life's surprises for you I guess...



Later on, as the rest of the cousins continued to do their own things, I chatted with my cousin sis more since we had more things in common than I realised.

Until about 11pm, our parents announced tht it was time to leave and asked us to take a group photo.
So, we did.


thres me, my lil sis in blue, the 2 cousins frm the same skul as me in white,
my lil bro in front, and my 2 cousin bros Christopher n Kevin.


After that, we were suppose 2 exchange e-mails n stuff but time didnt allow it.
So when we got back to our area, I met up with Yi Qian's dad whn we were eating at the Mamak n gave them my e-mail.
I also managed to get Yi Qian's e-mail.


So when I got home, I tried to add her in Friendster.
But looks like Life wasn't done with surprises.

It turns out that we were already friends!!
We even sent each other comments b4 as well!!
What are the chances!! xDD


Unbelievable.
Simply unbelievable.
What a weird and cool day.
Hahaha!!

I hope I get to keep in touch with these cousins.
Its nice to know that I have more family out there, and even so nearby.
Maybe we'll get to meet more now.
We'll never know! =P



G'Nite All!!
