About Me

I once heard a phrase from a show, it goes like this:" There are basically 2 type of people, the one that writes the stories or the one that read the stories." Somehow i grew to like this phrase... I am not a very good reader...So I guess, I'll be a writer. Everywhere there is stories... I'll do a collection of my own... To share with people whom I connect with...

My 1st weekend after my 2nd return-10,11Oct


This is written a week later, so I really couldnt remember much. I only recalled that, I now see that he is trying harder to make me believe that he is true...


This time back, time flies... The very 1st weekend sat is the celebration of his grandma birthday. Is a big celebration and alot of his relative fly back from Canada, HongKong, Auckland... My first time to meet so many of them... I couldnt recall who they are but many very touching displayed was show on grandma birthday.


The family is not too big nor small. But I see that grandma is significant to every one of them, even my bf. He told me a very sweet, funny and cheeky things that happened when he was abt 4-5 years old. He didnt want to eat his food, and guess what did grandma tell him. She said:"if you eat one mouth, you will get one dollar." haha...and he opened his mouth and grandma kept her words.... haha... it might sound lifeless when read from here... but when he said that to everyone in the hall, I saw a sentimental side of this big teddy bear... I am really touched...


I got 2 surprises from grandma. On friday, we all had a causual dinner, and I was introduced to her. I told her I am from SG. And my bf told grandma that he will go over her house to take vegetables ( she grow them herself, and rear chickens, rabbits) and eggs. She is 90 this year, sometimes she forgets things easily. And the 2 surprises is, on Sat, when she saw me, she remembers I am from SG and she ask, why didnt my bf come and collect the vegetables. OMG...


I gave her my promise that tomorrow, my bf and me will be there. And we did... She is like what everyone had said, thrify on herself and spend on others... When we are there, she keep asking us to eat, she cant move to freely, but insist of getting food for her precious grandson... I saw her tears... I saw his tears... and my tears too... I am really touched and upset and misses my grandma so much... Grandma told me, my bf is busy so cant visit her often, then she point to the road and teach me how to come here... She wants me to visit her... I nodded... My tears flow... I can see my bf is very upset because it had been years since he really visited her, and now when he see her aged, his heart sunk..because he knows his grandma doted him alot and he isnt too fillial to her.


I make myself a promise, We will visit her once very 2 weeks. I want him to treasure all the time he can with her and live with no regrets. It really matters alot to me... Like the promise I gave to my grandma... I never forgets...


Oh, here is a photo of us at grandma's birthday celebration.
