多希望我还有赖在父亲肩膀上不肯下来的权利，你一定也是。
I wish to be like a child again, sitting straight and proud on my daddy's shoulders,
Clinging tight, refusing to come down.
And he wouldn't mind, he'd carry me around the world with him.

Tuesday, June 12, 2012 "Teaching is the profession that teaches all other professions." I got accepted into teaching college in Penang, teaching English as a second language in Chinese medium schools, and registration is in two weeks time. It'll be a busy busy week ahead, too many things to do in too little time! Flight rickets to be settled, quite a bit of shopping and packing, a medical checkup, documents to be certified, and a driving test to pass. It's all gonna be a rushhhh, and I'm especially worried bout the driving test, 'cause gosh, I am not a talented driver at all! But hmm, I'll just pray that I'll be more talented at teaching than driving then. :) Having mixed feelings now actually. Happy to have a chance to leave home and maybe really learn to grow up, yet unwilling to leave behind people I love and people who love me. Especially my grandparents, they're so old now, I wish I can spend more time with them. I'm closer to them than to my parents, as both my parents work, the old folks were the ones who watched me grow up. They live right next door, I see them every single day. My grandmother, my Ah-Ma, being eighty-four and uneducated, doesn't really understand when I explain to her things considering further studies. Her biggest wish is that I stay to study in the nearest uni in town, conveniently nearest to her. She is happy for me, now that I'm finally getting an idea of what I'm doing next, but I can tell she would really truly wish I need not leave her. I wish I need not leave her too. Labels: family

Wednesday, April 18, 2012今天妈妈打电话来要我上网查一下学校资料，课程纲要，看看有没有学费可以回扣，有什么东西要申请什么的。 放下电话后，阿嫲问我，妈妈说了什么？ 当时，我觉得，老人家听不懂的事情，不需要花时间跟她慢慢解释，所以就随便带过，说没事。。 沉默。然后阿嫲就说：你现在好像不喜欢跟阿嫲讲话了。。 突然感觉被自己赏了一巴掌。 心疼。对不起哦。。

Friday, June 11, 2010 I really liked this picture I took of dad's sandals. :) When I was little, I used to love to walk in his shoes. They're so much bigger than my own. But right now, if I were to put myself into his shoes, I'll have to say thank you a zillion times. For everything he did for me, for our family. Father's Day is just just round the corner. Everyone, tell your father what he wants to hear this Father's Day, don't be shy. "Daddy, I love you." Labels: family

Wednesday, March 17, 2010You should be jealous of my grandmother. My A-Ma's that one person I love the most. And I'm lucky to have her live just next door.My mom and I were going over my Math till late last night. Or maybe early this morning. She stayed up late, real late. I knew she's worried 'bout me. My mom doesn't have the best temper, and I'm not exactly the smartest daughter she can have. She stayed up late so she can hear if my mom lost her temper. She knew my mom wouldn't lose her temper when we have A-Ma spying on us. It was over midnight when I heard this thump. It sounded like a heavy box being thrown hard onto the floor. And then, just like that, my imagination ran wild. I was convinced my grandmother fell from the stairs. And I was convinced she fell real hard. And I was convinced I lost her. Those few minutes, I thought of so much. I cannot remember my last conversation with her. I cannot remember when was the last time I hugged her and told her I loved her. I'm thinking of what to say if the lady at the coffeeshop asked where's A-Ma. I'm thinking of what to do with life without her. I was scared, shaking. And I was pissed at me, making her stay up so late, worrying for me. When we checked on her, it all turned out to be nothing at all, she's fine. A-Ma didn't fall, she didn't even know what made the sound. It felt so good to know she's okay. I think it felt like I'm the happiest person on earth for that one moment. A reminder for all those who have grandparents still alive and well, love them while you can, care while you can. Because, you never know how long they'll stay. Labels: family
