Relatives from china

last week, i meet my relatives from china for the first time(okay considered the first time because the last time they came i think i was only5 years old and had no idea what was going on) haha. they came last week, pick them up at harbour front, brought them to eat. they are not like the usual china people we see in Singapore. They talk softly, very courteous and humble group of people. I think this is the straits of the teochew. :)) i talked to them and felt the closeness with them and have a sudden realisation that they are my blood related relatives. does it really matter where they are from? Even we speak different language but they both parties tried to communicate through mandarin. Probably its the effort that everyone put in to make both parties really feel like we are family. For the first time, i really understand what its so far yet so near. We stayed miles apart, yet we feel as close as sisters, even we only met for that short span of 5 hours. We asked each other for email to contact but that was when we realise that the web we used are totally different, we cant even email each other because they do not have emails. The online systems and webs they used are not common or not heard before in Singapore.

Suddenly, i have a thought, even if i can email them, i typed in english will i be pressurising them to reply in english too? sigh, come to think of it, writing letter seems to be the best way of communication. really hope they will email me soon:D i miss that.I hugged my niece before she entered the transit, i almost cried. She told me to visit them soon, in november. I think its their holidays. i cant, need to save up first. Omg i miss them. good bye! i will visit you all soon alrite! LOVE ALL OF U!!

omg bese test at 6. nth went in. i feel like dying.
