My fingers are pink from peeling red eggs. I love red eggs. I don't really care the colour actually, I love hard boil eggs. I got to eat red eggs because there's a new addition to my cousin strength and today being his full month. Hello, number 11! (Because I dunno his name yet)
And talking about this, I have some complains about my mum again. Well, the last time I complained, things got better, so I'm gonna try the same trick this time round too. I don't like last minute things like that. I've (or rather we've) planned our anniversary quite some time ago. And today being part of the "celebration", things have been planned already. And the madam at home told me at 1pm that today is number 11's full month and there's a buffet dinner tonight. Nice huh, now then you tell me and just assume that I can make it.
Ok, nvm, that aside. Despite my enthusiasm to meet number 11, I've decided not to go. Because if I had to, I will be going earlier than my mum before we head out, with him. And 2 of us, going empty handed ain't very nice. And we're broke like cows to go buy present already. (I am the cow lah, he just don't want to exceed budget by too much) So number 11, 姐姐 see you another time ok?
Anyway, number 11 is the new king of the family now. Because my maternal grandparents are super sexists. If the baby doesn't come with a little penis, they will be "aiyah, girl lah." The other time my mum heard that when Daphne (number 10) was born, she kinda told her off "girls not your kid/grandkid meh? When you sick, is it your daughter or son who brings you to the doctor?"
I felt angry for mum too. My mum have 2 other sisters and 3 brothers. And very obviously, the grands are always so concerned about the boys and not that concerned over the girls. But most of the time, the daughters are the ones bringing them for medical checkups, when they are sick, they tell their daughters and not their sons. And most of the time, its my mum who does that. I mean, if I were her, I would be angry too.
So, back to number 11 being the king. Because he is the first "
internal" grandson, ie a son's son, we all can see the crown on his head already. But it doesn't really bother me that much cos I've already lost my crown (on their side) 17 years ago when their first grandson, ie Padro was born. Being the number 1, I was lucky enough to own the crown for a while eventhough I don't have a little penis.
Thats why I love Ah Ma and Gong Gong, cos they don't make me feel that they crown people. After 20 and a half years and 4 other cousins and a brother through the years, Ah Ma still calls me her baobei sometimes. And say things like she will still see me as a child until the day I get married and have my own kids. How sweet is that right? But the most important thing is, they treat everyone the same, no favouritism. Even deep down in their heart they have a favourite child (which I think is normal to have), at least they try not to show it.
Bleah, I'm off to read some FRS and think of what to wear. Bye!
