Fine. Have to accept the fact.

It's the chinese new year festive mood again. My cousin, who got married late last year is expecting her first child this year. I am feeling happy of course, it is always nice to have a baby to play with in the family.

But, the fact that i am going to be ' promoted' to be an uncle ( i regard it as a 'demotion') came as a wake up call for me! I have yet to recover from babies calling me uncle from Evelyn's party, and i have to prepare myself to be a 'real' uncle when my cousin's child arrives.

And worse of all, my attempt to pyscho my cousin and family to let my cute nephew/niece to call me 'ah keet kor kor' ( same as what my younger cousins have been calling me) foiled despite my countless appeal.

It's really amazing how fast times files. It seems just yesterday when my cousin and i were receiving ang paos from my family. It was weird receiving ang pao from my cousin yesterday. It will be very soon that my brother will be giving me ang pao ( i hope).

The reality that i am going to be a full fleged uncle status doesn't sound very appealing

Bye Ah keet kor kor, Hello Uncle Keet!
