Yesterday, the second day of CNY, we went in to SG again for another reunion meal. The youngest aunt and her husband were visiting us and hence we all went in to meet her again.
(Here's the post about the story of my youngest aunt in case you do not know about it)
Grandma is getting senile and she couldn't even recognise people sometimes now. When i visited her the last few times, aunt would intentionally ask grandma who i was and grandma could not get my name right anymore. She would look at me and say my aunt's name, and then i would correct her and told her that i am "Bo Bin" (which is "Ah Pin", "阿彬" in Hainanese).
Despite grandma's frail memory, she still remembers the youngest aunt. In fact, before CNY, she asked my uncle when my youngest aunt would come visit her again. Then yesterday when the youngest aunt showed up, grandma actually recognised her and was smiling so happily.
Everyone had reunion lunch and then chatted for a few good hours. We noticed that the youngest aunt was addressing grandma as "mom", and i was so glad that she could finally see grandma as her own mother. Overall, it was a good family time together.
On an unrelated note, i was actually feeling quite sick yesterday. I have completed the medication but my coughing is still bad. I am also having mild sore throat again; it seems like the full course of antibiotics did not successfully heal the throat infection and it seems to be creeping its way back. As if i am not feeling bad enough, i was having bad menstrual cramp too. So again, i spent most of today at home too. Sigh, what a lousy way to spend CNY.
