people get into relationships, and people fall out of relationships. i see this happening amongst many friends and i too have gone through them. but it is so bloody different when i see my own dragon-year niece going through it, so bloody bloody different. over the past couple of years, i saw her gone into a relationship, commit her all, and then fell out of the relationship... and then recover and found a new love after some time. and finally she's getting married this year! and no, i did not become emotional and cry buckets like how mummies, aunties, and some more emo uncles would in movies. but i certainly felt a little emotional (just a wee little) about the whole thing. it seemed so recent when i carried her in my arms. and i bought her her first toy, a blue cookie monster! i still remember how she was just about twice the size of the baby cookie monster. haha! and now, she is getting married! ok, to be exact, in sep this year, but well...
anyway, i will not be invited to her wedding. my eldest sis continues to hold grudges against me and insisted that my niece do not do so. and knowing my niece, she will feel very upset cos she was very close to me. and as expected, she apologized to me earlier after i whatsapped her to ask her about the date and to also remind her to invite my mum. told her that mama (my mum) is really looking forward to it and had purchased a blouse for the occasion. thankfully, my niece said she would do so... and no, please don't feel bad about not inviting me, i understand, i told her. and please do not be upset with your mum for i do also admit i had said some unpleasant things to her during the days leading up to my dad's demise in 2008. what's important is that you are happy. and to know that you have the thoughts about inviting me is all that matters.
she seemed a little more cheerful after i told her i understand. glad that i had released her the tensions about it. i wish her all the happiness in her life.
ps: ya, i know i have blogged about this when i saw her wedding shoot photo, but i wanted to write about it again cos i am feeling a little emo after whatsapping her about it...

Congrates uncle P! May your niece have a wonderful and happy life together with her hubby.
It's a pity you can't celebrate the occasion with her. Perhaps you could talk to your sis again? I mean weddings tend to soften some people's heart sometimes. After all these years, maybe she'd be less bitter?
Well I shouldn't say so much. Family issues after all. Hugs.
Emo ing...Be Happy...
@Jason: 家家有本难念的经。。。
@natkean: yup... he happy, 高兴就好！
hope she and husband will somehow arrange another gathering with uncle P in person and pay uncle P a treat. sound great?
@steve: yup! sounds great, but this is a hope. and will likely remain a hope cos i know my niece well enough... think she quite "doh" about such things... she is just too "straight" in her head...

多一事不如少一事，有心就好。
