Every year, my cousins and I will always organise a get together basically catch up on everyone, chill, drink, do ridiculous stuff and have fun. Think of it as a reunion, but only for us cousins (so there can be endless alcohol consumption and stupidity without aunties and uncles). For the last 4 or 5 years or so, we've always had it in my cousin's place in Ampang. Sadly, they moved to the States and sold the place (I miss Villa Aman!). Anyway, this year they were back for CNY, so we had it at Danny's place in Kota Kemuning. There were a couple of absentees this year. My brother and Karen who are both on their honeymoon in the States, my cousin Szue May, who is in Sunderland buzy with college life, and Han Sen. However, there was a surprise when my cousin Pearly who came back all the way from Manchester to join us.
Being CNY, we had Yee Sang and everyone else brought food ala pot luck. The night continued with bitching sessions and catching up with everyone. Usually, we will then play some kind of drinking game and hope everyone gets happy. But this year, again being CNY...there is only one thing to do....GAMBLE!!! We started of playing Blackjack, but then it wasn't really "chee kek" enough. We switched to our customary game...IN BETWEEN. In case you're wondering, this has been a tradition in our family. Every year during CNY, uncles, aunties, cousins....everyone will gather round a table to play. Last year, the pot went up to a record of approximately RM3500!!!
This year however, it went up to about RM400++ seeing that we only had all cousins playing.
Nevertheless, we all had a blast every year. Hopefully, the next gathering will be in my cousin Jacqui's place in South Carolina! Now wouldn't that be something huh?
All us cousins
