My niece got married today. Yes, my niece. (I'm already a grand uncle by the way, as a result of the birth of my nephew's child a few years ago) She’s 22, same age as my sis. At this age, I certainly didn’t expect her to get married. Nevertheless, her wedding was still a nice occasion as it gave me the opportunity to meet her since we’ve never met for about 10 years.

Each time, during Chinese New Year, only her mother and her two youngest siblings (out of four) can be seen. Well, I must say that she didn’t change much. I could still see some resemblance. As for her second sister, it was a totally different case. She lost so much weight. Wow, wonder how she did that. Anyway, good for her.

They were so shocked, plus happy (I assume) to see us. That was when phrases such as “Wah, lu an neh tua han liau ah” (you so big already, ah?), “wa beih jin lu liau” (I can’t recognize you already), “lu san ki liau” (You got skinnier) were uttered. Nevertheless, it has been a nice gathering. At least we got to see each other besides exchanging numbers and emails.

Oh ya, this was the first time I wore my red shirt again since my birthday party. I spent a lot time washing of the flour off my shirt but some white patches can still be seen. It was fine with me. The problem was the smell (It smelt like rotten egg) and the texture of the shirt (I can still feel the flour on the shirt when touching it). After I did my clearance in November, I brought this shirt back to Taiping and seeked my mum’s expertise because I love this shirt (It is my first Chinese shirt) and will definitely like to wear it again. I am not sure what she soaked my red shirt in but the smell was gone. Great!!! Thanks a lot, mum! =D So, thanks to her, this shirt has a second chance of living. I wore a singlet inside as I could still feel the flour and was afraid that direct contact with it might cause my sensitive skin to get itchy and infected by rashes. Thank God, after wearing it today, my skin was ok. =D
