My nephew's birthday is today & everyone is making an uber big fuss about it. It's such a major event for my mom especially - she's catering massive amounts of food. For her one year old Grandson. Damn, why can't I enjoy such lavish birthday parties anymore? My mother is a doting grandmother to her only grandson, anyone could get jealous by it.

Speaking of grandparents.

It occured to me in the loo me how awesome it'd be if I could meet my paternal grandparents. I've never met my Arab grandpa (he passed away when my Dad was a boy, RIP Opa!) and even though I've seen pictures of my Thai grandma, she died of breast cancer before she could take care of me. According to my mom, she was a great woman who came to Singapore by herself.

I'm pretty blue realising how my life is devoid of the grandparent-love element. My maternal grandmother had passed away when I was a kid, and my maternal grandfather, the only living grandparent, is an uptight man who notorious for marrying a woman a few years senior of my own mother. If memory serves me right, he was married to four different women over the course of his lifetime. Talk about sexual prowess.

So anyway, I decided that I should probably procreate and aim to live long enough to see my future grandchildren. Just so that I could throw lavish first birthdays for them.
