A wise saying goes ”Cousins are usually the first friends we have as children…no one will ever understand your crazy family like your cousins do<\/i>…”. I know my hubs agrees with this wholeheartedly. Coming from a large close knit family, one of his fondest memories are those of uncles, aunties and cousins congregating in their grandparents’ home in a small Malaysian town of Sitiawan every Chinese New Year; where each cousin would take turns to put up a musical performance for the elders before receiving their angbaos. Now that both the Patriarch and Matriarch are no longer around, the ancestral home has been sold and the cousins (including his own siblings) have all relocated to different parts of the world to set up families of their own. <\/p>\n
