Rambled on #3 :Special Kinship

does anyone having a nephew/niece around the same age as you? if yes, what's like of having one? It just makes everything confuse.

it is my ibu having a nephew whom i used to call her cik tini, who's i've been thinking she's my aunt for 15 years of my living! it is just because she's the same age as ibu so i thought she's my aunt. ugh shame on you ain. i also found out her daughter, hayati who's 7 years older than me is actually my first cousin once removed

what does "once removed" mean?

The term “once removed” indicates the number of generations away from you. For example, your cousin’s children are one generation distant from yourself; hence, first cousins “once removed.”

to my surprise, cik tini and i share the same granparents! how possible is that actually? ok, it make sense since i've been watching malay drama on tv, ayahku kahwin lagi. A man whose spouse has died decided to marry a woman in 30's and the couple have a baby A. and yet the man also has a married child who gave birth to a baby B. Hence, baby A & baby B are aunt and nephew.

The fact that baby A and baby B are ibu and cik tini as my nenek was pregnant to ibu and at the same time, mak long (nenek's daughter) also pregnant to cik tini during her teens as she married at a very young age 😕😕😕

And at my dad's side, i only realise that akmal and i not share the same grandparents instead of her mum, is my first cousin.

Things get complicated when it comes to hand-kissing during our family reunion. Bila nak cium tangan, terrrrcium tangan my older first cousin once removed, sedangkan kira macam anak buah but hell yeah noooo
