Potluck @ Mummy's : Dec-09

Since Mummy began her battle with breast cancer, various positive functions and Buddhist gods have appeared in her life to assist her in her battle.. giving emotional, spiritual and even physical support at different times. Two such kind souls who have constantly been by her side are Lin Yin 阿姨 and Poh Ta 姨丈. At every important juncture where a decision has to be made on Mummy's cancer treatment, they are there to offer invaluable advice and support. Not only that, they often fill Mummy's spare time with healthy mahjong, at the same time creating much fun and laughter in the house. Aunty Lin Yin is actually Mummy's sister, and with this acknowledgment, all of Aunty Lin Yin's sisters and brothers suddenly became Mummy's too.

This is the very first time where most of Mummy's 'long-lost' siblings get together to meet Mummy. Some nephews who are keen to meet their 四姨 were also present. Obviously, Mummy's biological family was a big one and my grandparents there actually gave birth to 17 or 18 children altogether!! So although Mummy was No. 9 amongst them, most of the Aunts and Uncles present are actually younger than Mummy except for 大姨 and 大舅.
