First Day of Lunar New Year

The first day of Lunar New Year, visitation to Uncle Eng Chuan and Auntie Maureen's place. Few things took place.
As we were leaving our house to get a cab, my mother noticed my key and padlock, necklace and snubbed it. Yes... she totally dissed it. >.<
After which, we arrived at Uncle Eng Chuan and Auntie Maureen's place, my padlock was once again, the a hot topic. Aunties and Uncles, amused, at my padlock.
Seriously...what is wrong with my padlock? I wonder what would their reaction be should I carry my Chloes the next time round I see them. However, Uncle Eng Chuan was being encouraging as he shook my hand and said, "you look good today." OH thank you =)

Responding to the sermon trying to connect with out family members, I decided to talk more with Auntie Maureen (though they are already Christians), hence I decided to ask, " Oh so you been working? or Stop already?"
She replied, "oh..I have retired for 7 years."
Me, amazed, "Oh...I never knew...."
To resolve the awkardness, she said, "Oh but i'm working a a sense, a full time grandmother, looking after my granddaughter..."
Me: " oh...yes...what's her name?"
Auntie Maureen : " Penelope... "
Me:"wow..."
Auntie Maureen: "yeah...that's quite a mouthful..."

Yes, indeed, eventually, I didn't even try to pronouce it. Penelope by the way holds dual citizenship, Canada and Singapore. Isn't that cool or what!
And in their place, I discovered, the KORG TRITON. oh man!

That's just a part of my very complicated extended family. Once a year, I hear stories of far away people. Perhaps, reason being, my great grandfather has got 3 wives, and he owns a shipping company. Meaning, loads of children and money. However, all that till this generation, is very much diluted.

Oh and every year, Uncle Eng Chuan and family will send us Christmas present. So sweet ya?
