A reunion dinner is no longer a reunion dinner

Right now I'm here sitting in the toilet doing my business while listening to "Scandal - one piece ". Of course I'm also blogging here and plus contemplating abt the atmosphere and the result of having reunion dinner. With some of my relatives not turning up for the reunion dinner attendance. 

I learnt abt this not long ago. I overheard my mum telling my dad that my aunt and her children not going. The first thing that comes to my mind is how awkward it will be when only 2 of my relatives' families cumin. And then the disappointment. My thought is how will my grandpa feels when he knows?  True that my family has some long term friction with some aunts . But a reunion dinner is a reunion dinner. Although  my grandpa is going to be 90 years old, couldn't speak, couldnt move much, I'm sure he still has a little conscious to hear abt this.  Will he be happy?  Or just simply having a "poker face" feeling ? Sometimes I dun understand why adults just couldnt make one step back, or to be nicer, to remind themselves that reunion dinner still has it's own importance.

Why am I disappointed? Is also due to the fact that I wont be meeting some of my cousins even though I'm not close with them.  That makes it lesser to being a family gathering. It just becomes a normal dinner with my family. Now I'm not really looking forward having eating good food 三珍海味and getting hong baos. There is no need for me to think abt OOTD (outfit of the day)

I feel like ... my whole family... is just like a rotten piece of shit.  Cannot be recovered.  Cannot be undone.  Time just stop there.  No one is going to help.

But then... on the good side...  this only happen on my parent era.  There is no friction within my generation.  Guess we still have the chance to have a good interaction with my relatives in the future.
