A short post direct from my iPhone
I think I’ve mentioned that on year-end festivities, all my siblings and families come back to “headquarters” (my parents’ place) to celebrate.
And as the kids have grown, so have the kinds of activities they partake. Some are gonna be going overseas entering uni in a few months time. Some have just received their good grades from their PMR major mid-high school life (well done guys). Some are back from 2nd and 3rd year uni already..
My brother took this shot, rightly so, thinking it was kinda amusing…
Happy New Year to all my reader-friends!
Yes, they are all playing against each other!
We have all preferred that they have chosen, on their own free will, to remain home instead of being out with the crowds tonight. Okay maybe they are still young and single!

Maybe it’s just me the Mommy, and the not the partying type, but, well,
Keep them home as long as you like.
Soon they’ll all be too busy with their own life and it’ll be hard to have such family gatherings.
Hope you had a good New Year.

Thanks Moomykin,
The thing is, my older brothers and sisters don’t keep them home- they actually like to be at home!
Granted one or two are starting to attend parties etc, but this generation does really enjoy each other’s company. It’s at the same time very heartening to see their bond, but also bittersweet ‘cos of the age gap between them and my kids….
Hope you’ve had a good new year’s too!

oh, what a coolll pic!
Nothing like the PC to get you connected ya! Were they also messaging each other?
But I know the addiction of PC games. College days are not too far off from my memory!

I remember staying home quite a bit while growing up too, as New Years provided an opportunity to hang out with my cousins that I didn’t get to see too often during the year.
I’m sure they will explore going out over the years but don’t be surprised if they continue to find their way back.
Happy New Year!
