Keeping this blog alive

Hello hello!

Haha...I haven't been on this blogger for ages, let alone on this blog. But yes, we really should keep this blog alive. I mean, it's got some potential, we just actually have to commit to it ^^. So I'll shall start this ball rolling and hopefully someone will continue.

Sooo...the most recent thing that has happened within our family has got to be the arrival of the infamous Heather who has always been the talk of around the parents, the one who is very smart and studied in Canada. First up, I have to explain that how she is related to us. Bear in mind, this might get a little confusing.

Our grandfather had 3 wives, as you would've known if you had read one of the earliest post in this blog. 2 of the wives were twins. One of the twins is me and jay's grandmother. And the other is queenie's and jackie's grandmother. In actual fact, they are all our grandmothers but let's get a little technical here I suppose. And so, the third wife, who mind you, none of us has really met before, is Heather's grandmother. And thus, out of all of this mess,  I hope you can come to the conclusion that she is our cousin. Haha...what a round about way of saying it aye?

Anyways, I must admit that I wasn't very excited to meet her. I have never met her before, so i didn't know what she was like and judging by how our last cousin, Catilyn turned out, you couldn't blame me for keeping up a barrier in case something similar happened once again.

Thankfully it did not. It was jay and queenie who got to know Heather well and soon they were attached at the hip. I must admit, I became quite attached myself once I got to know her. She is 25 years old but acts around the same age as us cousins, maybe even a little less mature than me. Haha...she's very out-going, kind and easy to talk to. We've come to know each other a great deal over these past weeks, especially Jay who loves to ask her questions :)

It was from one of the questions that we asked her, that we came to the realisation that 10 years ago, she was actually suppose to come study in Australia. What happened was, some mess up happened somewhere in the middle of transferring paper work. And because Heather needed to finalise her placement quickly, my auntie in Canada quickly finalised paperwork in Canada and so she was sent there instead.

To think that, 10 years ago, she could've already been here is quite shocking. How different would things be? Would they be different at all or would it be the same, just with an extra cousin to bond with? Fate sure is unpredictable.

But she's here now. And it has been extremely fun hanging out with her, especially since she is staying at me and jay's house, so we get to bug her at night. Of course, it's not exactly the best thing since I get distracted from my studies, but it is definitely more important, in terms of priorities.

The sad thing is, she is leaving the day after tomorrow. It has been a short but sweet time together, but all too soon, she has to return to Hong Kong. There is definitely a part of me that wishes that she could stay here, but the realistic part of me knows that sooner or later she would have to return, and in this case, it's just sooner than later.

So yeah, I know that this definitely won't be the end, especially since we have formed a special attachment to her, something which isn't exactly a good thing. I'm sure we'll keep in contact and we'll visit one another soon enough.

Okay. That's me for today! I hope i haven't bore you to death.

Byyeee
