grandma

grandma's coming down tomorrow! yay! gotta spend time with her. haha. i look at myself now, probably would get worse had she not managed to squeeze some teachings/good habits into me when i was younger. then, my grandma would come almost everyday when both my parents were both working full-time. i remember she would come 8.30am sharp, coz that would be that time my dad leaves home and no one to look after my sis and myself.

den very often, she would wake me up and bring me for breakfast. if not, she would have brought breakfast. man, that was so nice of her. den i would watch tv till 10.30 and she would make me bath and get ready for school. those times i went for sch during the afternoons. then, she would bring me and my sis and walk all the way through to a carpark downstairs, to wait at the meeting place to board the school bus. ha. she was really caring. she adjusted my uniform, combed my hair and never left till she sees me(and my sis) on the school bus.

by the time i reach home, dinner is always ready. rarely there's a occasion i will eat out for dinner. haha. her dishes were very unique! those fishes, veges, pork and even rice i would be able to tell whether she cooked them or not. (duh, have been eatin' them for 15 years and still countin' and have been loving them since) .

the only time she gets to enjoy her old age when my mum resigns from a full-time job to help my dad in his printing. but still, once or twice in a week, my grandma would be needed to babysit me and my sis. (i shall be humble here so i wrote me AND my sis). and despite another grandchild to take care of, she always tries to take time out to look after us. the routines are the same. just that, her white hairs are getting more and more. physically weaker and weaker. and yet, she took a bus from her home, bought breakfast, cooked lunch and dinner and taking my sis out to shop. taking my sis out to shop. taking my sis out to shop. haha. i wonder how quickly my sis would tire my grandma out.

all these years. no matter how naughty were we. no matter how defiant were we. no matter how much she has to mag us. no matter how many times she has to cook and wash the dishes. no matter how far she had to travel from her home to here. she never spoke a word against it (in other words, 'babysitting' :P)

i was amazed how she managed to subdue my defiance when i was younger. just amazed.
love you grandma!
