We met again after so many years at yet another funeral. Yup isnt it sad but so true?
I have alot of cousins but I dont recognise any of them. Neither do they recognise me and my siblings.
Unlike my gradma's funeral which was about 6 years ago, I managed to interact with quite a number of them though there were some whom were absent. Surprisingly, I also managed to interact with quite a number of my uncles and aunties. Has my company changed me to become a more people person or was it because I am much older and have more common topic with them? Or worst, was it because I have become a stewardess and they are curious about my life and thats why they open up to me?
I really dont know the answer to my question. But if being a stewardess could help you to bridge the gap with everybody, it is not entirely a bad thing. Even if your relatives talk to you just because you have become a stewardess, I wouldnt really mind that much. (Though deep down I do mind abit heez...)
But during these 2 days when I am at the wake, the cousins whom my siblings and I can really clique with is my most handsome cousin, Cavell. Towards the end, though we managed to clique with more cousins I also noticed a trend.
Those people whom clique with us are not the bookworms. Apparently, we are all the heck care type of people and the BTC (Not Book the cook la but buay tak chek - Academic Idiots). So is it really true that birds of the same feathers flock together?
That I am not sure too. Perhaps if given a few more days we would be able to psycho the bookworms to join us. Or at least I am quite confident I will be able to get the bookworms to open up to me too.
Sometimes I really wished I could have more chance to interact with all my cousins. I think most of them are fun to hang around kind of people but too bad. This will always be an impossible dream. For most of them I will only get to see them at perhaps the next funeral or hopefully wedding (Which I really doubt so). Or maybe in future, I should be more active by attending all family functions like my great grandparents or grandparent's death anniversaries. Then again will they be there too?
Sounds bleak? Not really too.... I managed to get Cavell's Facebook and number!!!! Yup so from now onwards we will be in touch. Not so bad afterall right? No fish but at least you get a shrimp. Whahahhaahhaa!~
