lol family tree

just came back from a family dinner at this authentic hokkien restaurant at balestier road. ok fine maybe it aint so much of a family dinner but rather an annual clan dinner. its basically a day where our "ang" family clan gathers and have dinner tgt. so everyone in the restaurant there is related to each other someway or another through this long line of family tree. this is to the extent that the clan is planning to organise a trip to our ancestral home town in fuzhou, china, end of the year. btw i found out that we are somehow related to this qing dynasty official who helped fight the british during the opium war... his name was lin something... cant quite rmb. frnakly speaking i cant see the link but according to my parents and uncles they said that its all stated in the family tree record... haha seems rather interesting

anw so i met a couple of people whom i nv seen before in my life who are my distant relatives of sort. e.g. my granduncles (who strangely were arnd the same age as my dad)... and a whole bunch of other people who were easily 60 and above. geez, i felt like a toddler in the midst of the whole group of grandpas and grandmas lol. the only 2 other people who were not in their 50s and above were some guys kids who are still at least in their late 20s...

lols so thats basically it for the day...

PS: at least tdy's tuition was not bad, everyone was in a good mood and willing to learn. hopefully tmr will be another good day (:
PPS: anyone wanna watch G-force? lol the gineau pig show.. (haha cant rmb how to spell) :D
