Wah lao eh... Chap gui ni bo kua teok liao le..

The translation for the title would roughly be.. --> Wah lao eh.. more than 10 years didn't see you liao le.... and that's what it means..

Last tuesday, my grandad's brother passed away. He was 89. I barely know him, but my family and I went down to Kluang (Johor) to attend his funeral. We went down on Wednesday, and reached about 5 something.

It is only during marriage or funeral that I get to see most of my family members (from my mum's side cause they stay in pretty far from each other) come together to attend an event. So this funeral brought together most of my family members together and I would want to highlight the meeting with one of my cousin.

This is Catherine Teo. My cousin.
Really 'chap gui ni bo kua teok liao le'. and after all those years, she barely changed.. didn't seem to grow old.. XD me and my sis were so happy and suprised to see her and her husband together attending the funeral. It's been a looooong loooooooong time since we saw each other. Ashley, their son (my nephew) didn't come along.

This is Ashley
The last time i saw him was when he was about 3 or 4 years old only. That time he was SUPER cute. and he eat lots of chilly for his age. Look at him now.. he's 14 already and according to her mum, he's as tall as me.. aiks..
Guess now I am old enough to say "chap gui ni bo kua teok liao le"
On another unrelated matter... yesterday I went to look out point with Weng Sing. and while walking, i stumbled across a car key. I recognize that it's an Avanza key cause i have 1 at home and i was asking myself, what do i do with the key now? how can i ever give back the key to the owner?
while i was pondering, a little girl came up to me and said
"Uncle, that car key is ours"
Then without hesitation, i passed the key to her.. i didn't even realized that she called me 'uncle' until later weng sing told me about it. point is.. i old dy..
May God bring my grandad's bro's soul to His arm
God Bless~
