One of a family event that I had attended which is one of the most memorable is the birthday celebration of one of my cousins who is celebrating her 18 birthday. The reason why this this memorable is because she was someone who was very caring and compassionate towards others in our family and hence our whole family decided to throw a very special celebration. She had always wanted see Drake live on stage and since he was having a concert in Singapore we decided to pitch in and buy her a ticket for the concert, and her reaction was amazing as she had never asked for anything in return for helping others and seeing her this happy made our whole family realise that we had a true gem in our family and was grateful for everything she did.Hence this was the most memorable family event I have attended.

A family event that I have attended was a wedding of a distant relative. The event was very lively and its gives off such a positive and enjoyable vibe. There we tons of people at the venue from friends all the way family. There was also a variety of food choices for us to choose. The music was loud and you could see people dancing and also little kids running around. Only thing that seemed off were some of the teens my age as they were all hung up on their phones browsing through social media

My family and i went to an art festival around orchard. The reason for attending that event togther is to bond more togther to build a stringer relationship. I felt very happy being able to spend my time with my family, since they are so busy with work that they had barely anytime to play with me. While going to the event, there are many children like me, looks very happy to spend time with their family. However, there are sone children still having their headphone on, and looking down on their phone, not caring about a thing.

One event that I’ve attended is my cousin’s funeral. It was heartbreaking. There was no second during the funeral that tears did not flow out of my eyes. While sobbing, I remember the times I would play with him with my lego star wars set. We would throw the structures we built at each other and laugh hysterically. Some people say family are not your friends, but, my cousin proved me otherwise. I was always the quiet kind of guy. Without him, I wouldn’t be here talking my feelings out as he helped me improve my social skills. After the funeral, I said my goodbyes and one last thank you for everything.

A family event my family participates in is the ACS gathering. This event is held annually during Hari Raya. My mother’s side hosts this event as a way to strengthen the bond of our bloodline. My grandmother has 12 siblings including her which shows that my family is humongous. Imagine how huge the event is as it includes the in-laws. My grandparents will cook a ton of food or order shell-out to feast on. This event also includes gift exchanges, karaoke sessions and mini games to win prizes. From this event, I have learnt that we should cherish our family as we might not be able to meet any of our family members again due to time constraints.

one family event I have attended is chinese new year. at chinese new year, we get to meet up with family members and distance relatives to catch up on things we have missed out as many of us do not see each other very often as we are all busy with our own lives, when chinese new year arrives, many of the adults are excited to see the younger children as they would want to see how much they have grown and ask many questions like ,” do you have a girlfriend?” ,”are you married yet?” and more. family events like this help to remind me that family bonding is very important as if ever, my family were to fall apart, I know that i would be able to rely on my other relatives to support and take care of my well being. As an uncle seeing my nephew and nieces grow up in this digital era, I would see them stare at their phone instead of bonding with the older uncles and aunties.

A family event that I have attended was my great grandmother 90 years old birthday party. I attended it last year in June, it was a simple birthday party at a bar/restaurant. Almost all of my relatives came except for one or two family because they had covid. The place was very cold, which led to my great grandmother shivering however no one noticed it , and that is really upsetting.

A family event that I have attended would be birthday parties . My family and I always enjoy throwing birthday parties as we love how it brings the whole family together to celebrate the birth of a family member.In this event , each family will bring a certain dish for example , mee goreng or we could even order macdonalds . For dessert
It would be the birthday cake which is usually ice cream because it is everyone’s favourite. we would gather together at the same place In most cases, it is usually my house ,as my grandparents are staying  with me . There may be times where w would also book a chalet or go to a fancy restaurants and eat lots and lots of delicious food. If it is done at my house , we would always decorate the ceiling with swirly ribbons and blow some ballons.  Family Birthday parties make me feel so grateful that I have all my loved ones with me and that we are all here sharing a laugh with each other and opening presents . It teaches me to not take my family for granted and to cherish every moment I have with them as we may not know when it is the last.

A family event that I attended was family gathering during Chinese New Year. During every Chinese New Year, my family would have family gathering together and normally, I would stay in my own room, using my phone and not aware  the fact that I have relatives  in my house. Sometimes, I would sit outside and secretly  enjoy the conversation between my parents and my other relatives.I would hear laughter and cheers in the living room as my parents are casually talking to my relatives. I would feel the urge to run away from family gathering, giving an excuse that I meet up with my friends as I find it awkward and uncomfortable in family gatherings. (Incomplete)

A family event that I have attended would be my relatives wedding. I love attending my relatives wedding as I love seeing my relatives, cousins gathered together. It's fun catching things up with them while celebrating the newly wed couple. Whenever one of my relatives are getting married, we love to wear matching colour outfits as a sign that we are big family. It's also a touching experience seeing our relatives getting married because one day, that would be me. (halfway done)
