koit family gathering

Yesterday was the koit family gathering :D this is the first time in a long while since we had an official family gathering where we sit down , have dinner and get to know the other koit member better. Although there are a lot more koit family members who were not present at the gathering yesterday ( thank god, cause if all of them came... i would have a tough time getting to know each and everyone of them) , we still had a great time.

The koit family gathering which was held at the Park Way Restaurant in SS19 was actually quite a last minute thing. the gathering happened because one of my father's cousin, Paul Koit came down from Canada just to visit the Koit relatives and a few of his close friends. So, my uncle Paul Koit's younger sister who stays in ss 19 arranged for the family gathering to be at the park way restaurant. she invited my father's brothers and sisters and also her a few of my cousin's whom i did not know existed till yesterday. hehe.

For your information, all of my family members are tall. we all have the same genes. all the guys are like 6 footers and the girls are around 5 feet 9, 10 inches. So when all of them arrived we were all like standing up and greeting each other. Try to imagine this... a regular coffee shop flooded with almost 20 towering figures. Yes, we were like giants in a hobbit's world. we were like the center of attention and everyone looked at us in admiration. LOL :D "Happy New Year" wishes were flying in the air as each and everyone of us wished the other koit family member a happy chinese new year . We continued standing for about 5 more minutes and then we struggled to find a seat. we couldn't make up our minds on where to sit. my parents asked me to sit next to them but i chose to sit at the table where all the other family members were aliens to me. (i guess i was considered alien to them too. hehe) . But soon the tension and the awkwardness broke as i introduced myself and made myself comfortable. throughout the dinner... i asked my auntie a lot of questions about the other family members and after the dinner, i knew all the other family members from their name, their age and what they work as. Haha i was like a bloody KPC there. What to do ...

After about an hour and a half, we said our goodbyes and we left the restaurant with all our doubts cleared and another wonderful experience to add to our memory... :D oh oh and i will post the family tree and a few photos in my next post . So... Keep on reading!!!
