Reasons why I DISLIKE going to family functions :

1. they don't know who you are and vice versa.
2. even if they do know who you are, they keep asking you how old you are, which school you're in, what field you're pursuing, how many years left....and they ask you the same questions every time you meet them at subsequent gatherings.
3. they just LOVE to compare between relatives.
4. they always, ALWAYS wanna match-make you with some distant relative.

.when will it end??? l e n a.

p/s: Mommy said, in the future, they'll start comparing all the careers, in-laws, children/grandchildren and great-grandchildren. *gulp!* can't wait for that~ (sarcastically, of course) btw, in case you were wondering why it's always me that's answering these aunts and not my sisters. It's because I'm the only one that's stuck at home! Whereas Jenna's been to India, Melaka and now Ipoh. Sarah's been to Wales. Ritz went to Sendai, Japan for that Homestay program and Anwar's been M.I.A. ever since form 3. I'm the lucky local girl, LOL. I bet those aunts are bored seeing my face already. Well, TOO BAD. I ain't goin' nowhere. ha ha.
