Family
In Singapore in the early 1960s, my family would gather every Friday night around midnight at our grandpa's home. Grandpa would dim the lights and my cousins, aunts, and uncles would listen to him share stories about everything from World War II to spicy family secrets. When the clock would loudly strike midnight, we'd hide tightly under blankets while sipping warm cups of Chai. It was then my aunt's turn to share even scarier stories about hungry ghosts and female vampires. These stories, and this time spent with my family, have always stuck with me.
