Went for dinner today with Wayne at his ah ma's house =D Was pretty jittery about meeting his entire family at first but when i met his ah ma i kinda felt my fears dissipate altogether coz she's such a nice old lady =) Being amongst his family members really did make me feel at ease even though i didn't really talk much to anyone except wayne, his mum and dom. Maybe its because i could sense the closeness in the family. Seeing his cousins and siblings being able to talk to their uncles and aunties freely without any hint of awkwardness or formalities really dropped a thought in my mind.. i don't recall being able to talk like that to any of the elders in my family before without feeling awkward or disrespectful. I guess its different in every family but nevertheless it did make me want to get to know my extended family members better, especially my uncles and aunties. Just from that i learnt that communication really does bring cheer into a family.. and that happiness is something that can't be bought. I really do believe that joy comes when you are willing to spend the time and effort in getting to know someone better. That one does not have to be very rich, smart or talented to be happy. Ultimately, a heart thats sincere is all that matters.
