My Cousins
I have 15 cousins, 8 are residing in Malaysia and 7 are in Australia.
I have met most of my cousins except for a few.
I met most of my cousins at Faisal's wedding reception in Bertam, Penang on 2 July 2013. Faisal's wedding reception was held at the MPSK Bertam, a big sports complex.
It will be good to meet everyone for the first time.
I met uncle Din's son, Kamarul Faisal, once at his home in Seberang Prai, a second time when Bapak died, and a third time when he got married - at his wedding reception in Bertam.
So far, I met one of aunty Esther's 2 children - I met Jeffrey but not his younger sister Veronica. I met Jeffrey first at Impiana KLCC, and second time at Faisal's wedding reception in Bertam.
I have not met any of aunty June's 5 children - Stephanie Druscilla, Gerald, Rex Allan, Vanessa Gloria, and Amanda Zoe. None of them came to Faisal's wedding reception.
I have met aunty Daisy's 7 children in Balga, Western Australia. I first met them when uncle Robert was still alive in 1988, long before Christmas. I met them again after uncle Robert died just before Christmas 1988. I met them again at Faisal's wedding reception in Bertam on 2 June 2013.

When our family members met at Uncle Din's son's wedding at Majlis Perbandaran Sukan & Kebudayaan (MPSK) in Bertam, it was a wonderful affair. I never imagined I would meet everyone again.
I met uncle Din and family - wife Intan and son Kamarul Faisal.
I met aunty Intan's two sisters - aunty Chom and aunty Latifah (Prof Nor Hayati's friend).
I also met aunty Chom's only daughter, Aizura. I didn't see or recognise aunty Chom's 2 sons - Boy and Boboy.
I met aunty Esther and aunty Daisy, and their children.
I met aunty Esther's son Jeffrey and his family - wife Siti Noor Azar Majid, and daughter Nur Hanis and her friend.
I met aunty Daisy's daughters - Frances, Jenny and Vicky, and Vicky's husband and son.
