Aiyo Singapore~

Chinese New Year is such an excellent time to visit asia. I went to Singapore to visit my mum's side of the family and was reminded of how comfy and warm a house filled with people could be. My grandmother was overjoyed (she loves directing our reunion dinners or any other function) and it was definitely a trip I should have gone on more often. People of chinese descent still do celebrate 15 days of CNY, but our family normally fades the celebrations out within the first week. The food was so nostalgic and fantastic, as always. We had a different variety of food for dinner each night - things like a traditional chinese meal with a 'lazy susan' (turntable), some with Malay and Indian dishes thrown in, a sushi buffet and even vegan! Really glad my mum and I turned up. It was loud with quite a bit of bickering with about 3 or 4 different languages mixed in, but man was it fun.

And red packets. Yes. Must not forget those <3

This here's the 3rd Muscular Dystrophy post:
Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy. 
This appears in the teens to early adulthood and affects males and females. In its most common form, Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy causes progressive weakness that begins in the hips and moves to the shoulders, arms, and legs. Within 20 years, walking becomes difficult or impossible. Sufferers typically live to mid to late adulthood.
