And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had

I can only say that I'm excited as all hell, but I really can't say it yet. Don't worry though, I'll write about it sooner or later. Maybe sooner than later because I just have to tell someone. My excitement is eating me up!
My mother passed me a stack of paper that contained the transcripts of emails exchanged between my aunts, uncles and cousins in regards to my grandfather's birthday celebration while I was in the States. She had told me about this situation some time ago just after I came back from the States this August, but I didn't know the extent of damage.
My mother has two sisters and two brothers. Since my mom is the eldest, I'll number the rest. S2, S3, B1 and B2, which stands for Sister 2 and 3, and Brother 1 and 2. S1, who is my mother, has two children, my brother and I. S2 has four children, all girls. S3 has three children, two girls and a boy. B1 has one child, a girl who is the same age as I am. B2 has two children, both girls.
Usually when we celebrate our grandparents' birthdays, we would book two tables at a restaurant and eat there as a whole family. The final bill is usually split five ways between the siblings, my mother and her siblings. The seniors sit at one table the next generation, the grandchildren (my cousins and I) at the the other. B1's daughter, my cousin who's the same age as me, would always join the seniors, because she feels uncomfortable with us, her own cousins. Funny, because the rest of us don't mind each other, and we also try to include her in our conversations or grandchildren things. She, however is not so receptive.
Now, I don't like my cousin, B1's daughter. None of the rest of my cousins do either. Her family is the richest among the my mother's siblings asset-wise, but they are also the stingiest and the snobbiest. We used to be good friends, my cousin and I, until we went to the same school and she got placed in the best class and me, the worst. I wasn't concerned, but apparently, she was. I transferred out shortly after, and I don't care about the so-called rivalry, but she's always found ways to make me feel inferior to her, subconsciously or no.
Anyway, B1 made a minor complaint, because it's usually just the two of them, B1 and B1's daughter attending the dinner, as his wife flies to China very frequently for business, whereas almost the whole of S2's family attends, except for the oldest sister who is now residing in Australia. I honestly don't know why B1 had to bring it up now, but it sparked off a huge argument within my family. One of S3's children, the guy, just got married in March this year, and so felt like the attack was on him, as his wife is also under S3. However, S3's family also takes care of our grandparents, and even hired a maid specifically to take care of the two of them.
My only guy cousin brought up the issue with B1, and then B1's daughter came to his defense, spouting all sorts of factual and statistical information as to who should pay more or less. Funny thing is, in the table she had drawn out, Karl was also mentioned. But Karl is NEVER in Singapore and probably will not return for a long, long time. I felt like I was attacked myself, but since that situation has passed, I read on.
My guy cousin sent an email to B1's daughter and cc'ed his wife and the rest of my working cousins in retaliation to what B1's daughter had emailed. I was shocked when I continued reading to find out that she did not respond, but instead took the matter up to the seniors. In my opinion, that's like provoking a fight, getting hit, and then running to mommy complaining.
I have lost all respect for her now.
Trying to be civil and friendly has been what I've been trying to do, and I still will try, because they don't know that I know what had happened. I don't know how much tolerance I have when it comes to her and her family. She smiles at me, but sometimes I can't help but feel that condescending air around her. AND her family.
*sighs*
There's a lot more to it, but I'll tell it some other time.

You might be living in my neighbourhood, or some other town or country far away. I don't know. And neither do you, at this point.
Wherever you are, I know I'll find you... if you don't find me first.
It's just a matter of time.
