Friday night: The Ho family has been friends with my parents for decades. In fact, auntie was the one who brought me out to meet my dad when I was born.
Saturday night: Wai is my mom's cousin; his dad and my grandma are siblings. He is technically my uncle, but he is only a couple years older. So his kids are my cousins, even though they are 7 and 4. I haven't seen Wai and his wife, Kik, since I was 15, which was, you know just a couple of years ago. Haha.
Sunday night: My godparents are my parents' friends from church. I believe the story was that kai leung (godmother) thought I was really cute bouncing around and informally became my godmother. It stuck. I have not seen them since the eighth grade...hahaha. But when I got to HK, we met up and it was like no time has passed. They have three sons. Two are older and one younger than me. My first slumber party, I think at age 4(?), was at their house, with the two older boys. It was not a successful slumber party because I asked to go home around 2am. Haha.
At dinner, I had a split second of shock when Kai yeh (godfather) said, "Nui nui, help me with this plate". It is an endearing term for little girl that I haven't heard in ages. Only he and my dad calls me that. It was such a nice moment. It makes me smile even thinking about it now.
