My Family Tree.

i have a huge famliy tree. i remember once my mum told me, i had 2 paternal grandad, 2 grandma, 2 maternal grandfather and 3 grandmother. with a family tree that huge comes with a very long story. interesting huh..

okay, heres the breakdown. my true maternal grandfrather came from china and settled down in malaysia with his wife (1st grandma). i have never met her before - she passed away waay before my mum was born. then he remarried another woman - my 2nd grandma. he also had a brother who now settled in taiwan (i also never met before i think only my big aunt met)

according to my mother, my second grandma gave birth to 4 daugthers and 5 brothers (i think). and my mum, being the 3rd daughter. so you're probably wondering, where the 3rd grandma came from. back then, my true grandma had a sister who had married to another man (2nd maternal grandpa) and has settled in another part of malaysia, had not as much children as her older sister. so my true grandma, being the older sister gave her 3rd daughter (thats my mum) to her younger sister.

now back to the 4 daughters 5 brothers. of course, the 4 daughter are my aunts - big aunt, 2nd aunt, my mum, and small aunt.

my big aunt, who accompanied my mother to singapore to work, now has a son, who i am proud to say, is now in my church. we're cousin afterall heh.. not many people knew that theres a connection between us.
my 2nd aunt, who now works as a tools & material supplier, has 2 sons and 2 daughters (all older than me). i could tell you, that her home is like a country-side and the home space is about 2.5 soccer fields big and my family goes to her house whenever we visit our relatives.
my last aunt, has 4 daugthers. all younger than me and lives in JB.

and then to the 5 brothers who are now my uncles. actually im not really close with my uncles, so i can only relate my expirences with my uncles.
another uncle of mine (the oldest i guess) passed away few years ago.
one of my uncle, lives in a seclusive mansion-sort of house. 3 stories high, with 10+ rooms.
yet another uncle whom is still a bachelor, i not close to him so i dunno wad to say about it.
another uncle whom i am the closest to (i think is the youngest) has 4 daughters. all younger than me. the oldest one whom in my opinion, is quite pretty. the rest are like little buggers.. lol

so up to now, i have 13 cousins from my true grandma side. this is only a quarter of the story. now, to my 3rd grandmother. she has 3 daughters (including my mum), and 1 son (i think).im not really clsoe to them but we do visit them sometimes. and then, the 3 daughters are the next set of my aunts.

my 2nd big aunt whom also came to singapore to work, now has a daughter. two of them are happly living somewhere in tampines lol.
my 2nd small aunt, has 2 daughters. much younger than me.
and then my uncle, has a son and a daughter. theyve got singapore PR and the sons gonna serve NS soon.

so on my 2nd grandma side i have 5 cousins. that adds up to 18 cousin. of course i do have other relatives (who are elders of my mother) and other cousins. another two, whom ive met, and pherhaps more, i dont know.



okay, half story told. now, to my parternal side.
according to my mum, my 2 paternal grandmothers were sisters, as well. they both married to different man. and my paternal grandfathers, ive never seen them as well.
the older sister is my true grandmother. she had 4 duaghters, and 1 son (thats my dad alright ;) ). again, the 4 duaghters are my aunts. all of them are still livin somewhere in singapore, not gonna tell you.

my big aunt, has 2 sons and a younger daughter. all older than me of course.
my 2nd aunt, childess and still livin in a couples world i guess.. lol
my 3rd aunt, 2 daughters. shes the one my dad's the closest with.
my 4th aunt whom also livin in tampinese and attends the same church, yet the least closest of all my aunts. she has 2 working sons.

my true grandma passed away when i was very young. while my 2nd grandma, childess i think. so on my paternal side, i have 7 cousins there. and also of course, i have other 3 cousins whom i rarely meet. and prob other cousins whom i never knew exists.

so now, i have 30 cousins i know on both sides. and now for the fourth part.

i myself first reached the 'uncle' rank when im around 13 years old. thats when one of my older cousins had thier first child. talk about being old when yur young lol.. so there u have it, my family tree.
