I had a very big big family. My Grandma at Mom side had 8 sons and 4 daughters. My Mom had 2 sons and 4 daughters and I had my 5 Little Angels, 2 daughters and 3 sons. Guest I inherited the genes from my Mom and my Grandma. Ha ha ha...

We went for a movie outing at Citta Mall at MBO Cinema on Sunday afternoon to watch the movie "My Papa Rich". Me and my 5 Little Angels were not in the photo as my 4th son not feeling well and vomit twice on the way there. We still manage to reach there but the sad point is, we miss out the photo session. Sigh... Hopefully next round will have our photo in ya...

When I was small that time, I remembered my Grandma will always called all of her children. Total 12 calls per day on every Sunday morning and reminds her children to come back to her house to have a lunch or dinner. Even though all of her children already got married and have their own family, we'll made it an effort to go to my Grandma's house. Her effort mades all the family members so closed with each other as we met every weekend. Chit chatting, playing and watching movie whole day. I always miss that part of life when all of us so small and had so many friends to play with. The house was so merrier with laughing, shouting and cheering. The noisiest house. Ha ha ha...

I remembered for every As' in UPSR that I had, my 1st uncle will gave me RM10 for that. I think I had 3As', so I got RM30. RM30 that times really a big money for us. Thanks to my first uncle that always encourage us to study hard. My 2nd uncle last times always organise lucky draw during CNY open house and I won a hamper from there before and I'm so happy with it. My 3rd uncle is very generous as he loves to do charity works. My 4th uncle works at Terengganu last time in a listed Company. So, whenever he back from Terengganu, he'll treat us a meal. I remembered when he had his first son, he rented a bus for all of us to go to Terengganu and organised trip to Lake Kenyir. That was the best part of my holiday when I was young. My 5th uncle is a Pastor in a church at Setapak. So, during Christmas day, we'll go to his church to celebrate that wonderful day. My 6th uncle had his advertisement Company. My Mom took care of his eldest daughter, Jan and youngest son, Xian when they are babies. I am their Nanny too and now Jan had married and Xian is a photographer. My first movie at Cineplex was sponsored by Jan's Mom with the title "The Little Mermaid". To my 6th Aunt, we'll always miss you here...
My Uncles and Aunties |
I always afraid of my 7th uncle as he was very fierce to us when we was young. All of us afraid of him but after got married and having his own children, he had change a lot to be a wonderful father. My 8th uncle, being the youngest in Tan family took good care of my Grandma and we always went to his house for gathering last times. For my 1st Aunt, I remembered stay at her house for days when my youngest brother was borned. Felt so sad as have to live apart from my Mom. My saddest moment when I was small as I'm in tears from the stair case when seeing Mom. My Mom is a full time housewife that always there for us, cook for us and drove us with her bicycle to took bus to school. She always accompanied us and ensure we were safe all the times. My biggest regret in my life was not able being with my 5 Little Angels full time like my Mom as I need to work. So, every weekend, I'll made sure that I had spend enough times for them even though had to reject most bloggers project as my 5 Little Angels were always my first priority...
My 5 Little Angels had grown up now |
My 3rd Aunt loves to organise event. Last time, she was the event organiser for our family and in charge of all the decorations. She always ensure that all of us had enjoyed the event. My 4th Aunt previously studied in Taiwan and worked at Australia before came back to Malaysia to settle down with her family. Thats the history of my big big family...
The movie outings with my big big family was organised by Ah Boy, Jan, Ann and Xian to made it a memorable for all and if possible to break the record for having the biggest movie outing for the family, A Malaysia Book of Record. Ha ha ha... It was so successful as before the movie started, there is a video session done by Cheryn playing all the photos of our family members, dedication from children to their parents. All parents reading the dedications were so happy and proud with their each and every child. The photos when we were small and how the family had growth so big and how times flies so fast before we knew. So, cherish everyone now before its too late as we'll never know what will happen tomorrow...

The movie, My Papa Rich is about an old guy named, Yang, who is used to living a solitary life. He lives a simple and poor life. His eldest daughter is married and resides in Kuala Lumpur, his second daughter is still studying in Singapore and his youngest son works as a small-time salesman. Yang's real troubles begin when he realises that he cannot afford to celebrate the coming Chinese New Year. However, a chance encounter with his long-time friend, Lin, who has become a millionaire, changes Yang's life as Lin offers Yang a once in a lifetime chance of becoming a millionaire for a month. It is a touching and hilarious film that brings out the joys of the Chinese New Year spirit and will make you appreciate your family and loved ones even more during this festive season. So, watch it together with your family members to have the fun together and to appreciate all of your family members...

Thanks to all my relatives who took the effort to join all the family gatherings. If my Grandma is here, I'm sure she'll feel very proud of us. She had made our family ties strong and taught us to appreciate each and everyone. I always love the gatherings as we grow up together, we have lots of fond memories that always keep us smile. Thats the value that I hope I'll able to instill it to my 5 Little Angels that being with family were the utmost important of their life as no matter what had happened, family will always there for you...
nice big family :D hehe.
