Visiting My Grandparents

(CA entry: A moment you enjoyed with your family)

Family ties are very important to my family. That's why we constantly make an effort to visit my grandparents once a week, usually on Saturdays. We would visit both my maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents and all relatives who would also drop by. As my father is Malay and my mother Chinese, I get to experience and live in both cultures, broadening my horizon to both cultures.

Festive occasions are a plenty in my neck of the woods. I celebrate both Muslim and Catholic holidays, the most recent ones being Hari Raya Haji and Christmas. These are the best times to gather as a huge family and catch up on happenings in each other's lives.


Only a fraction of my paternal relatives

The next upcoming celebration is Chinese New Year, where I hope I can snap more pictures (they wouldn't let me before).
