reconciliation.

Just got back from dinner with the family, Mum's birthday. My family's always finding some reason to go somewhere nice to eat.. Not that I'm complaining though :P tonight's dinner was quite yummy.. I owe my love for food to my parents who are rather adventurous with food and would travel around the island for good food (note: that doesn't imply Lawry's standard everytime). Dinner was undoubtably good but it was what we did after dinner that I wana make special mention.

Dinner was with my family, uncle 3 and cousin (uncle 2's daugher). Uncle 2 and uncle 3 haven't been on talking terms for years... The sad thing was, they used to live under the same roof but fell out after a disagreement with the sale of the old flat. So, its been years since the brothers have spoken.

Uncle 2 has been ill lately and was hospitalised just before CNY. He was discharged before the 1st day of CNY but was recently hospitalised again.. This time round, it was quite bad... Now, he has to walk with aid and he looks really unwell.. My cousin told us over dinner and uncle 3 said he wanted to visit. Mum was stunned but quickly said yes. So off we went to uncle 2's place. It was really really nice to see both my uncles talking to each other after so many years...

Mum's really happy.. Think this is really the best birthday gift she's received... :)
