After the almost same "procedure" last year when all turned up, only four "Gen 3" & zero "Gen 4"turned up today. Ya i know it's a long prayer, and it is quite boring, but well it was kinda disappointing to see such a turnout for a prayer that's done just once a year. "Gen 2" all turned up except my small uncle. His wife was around, nothing much was said about him, so i presume he is now getting medical treatment for his mental condition.

Also found out that my grandfather is also admitted for chest infection. And my 2nd niece was sent into hospital by my sister for "chest pain". Including my mother, i am having 4 close relatives in various hospitals. What a record. =(

Today is also the 1st month birthday of my 2nd female cousin's 3rd kid, which is a girl. She is the 10th member of "Gen 4", ya the 10th person who have to call me uncle. So fast sia. Went to her birthday celebration @ my cousin's place in the evening.

Ya it's confirmed my mother will discharge tml. As usual someone wash her hands off it. Sianz. But what to do?
