Went to visit grandma yesterday afternoon... was glad to see the smile on her wrinkled face... initially she was quietly eating the food that i bought for her... and seemed to be in deep thoughts... there was not much conversation for nearly an hour, afterwhich she began to chat with me... :) ... i guess she must be enjoying the food...

We talked abt the past... how i loved the simple dishes she prepared every day... simple food but yet so delicious... esp the steamed fish and stir fried green veggies... my fav... not forgetting the curry chicken she cooked occasionally as it was heaty... ('',) ... i rem myself gobbling down a 2nd bowl of rice even when i felt so full... just because i need an excuse to savor more of her yummy dishes... i was 6 years old then... :)

She was sharing with me abt her life after marriage... though i couldn't make up what she said half of the time as she is toothless and thus has dificulty pronouncing her words properly, i tried to assure her with my constant nods to let her know that im listening...

She was a maid for a peranakan couple... i guess life was tough on her... as she was a widow in her early 40s... and struggled to make ends meet... esp when she has 5 children to take care of... trying to test her memory, i asked her for my grandpa's name... and she remembered... now then i know my grandpa's name was Kim Heng... but i couldn't ask about his sirname... coz i dunno how to ask that in hokkien... well, language barrier... afterall my hokkien is not that terrific.. since my training only lasted for 2 short years during my stay with my grandma... but i consider myself not bad already... :) ... (jus chatted with mum and asked her abt ah kong's sirname.. she replied "Neo Kim Heng"... then i realised that ya hor, his sirname should be "Neo" since my mum's sirname is also "Neo" mah! omg, where did i leave my brains???")

We chatted for 2 hours till the sun sets... she asked me to go home since it was getting dark... and i did... my stomach was groaning already... :) ... waving goodbye to her, i walked away feeling happy as i saw her grinning from ear to ear... i have fulfilled a day without regrets... :)

I realise...

that as i grow up, im getting more indecisive of the things i want in ife...

that as i grow up, things get more uncertain in life...

that as i grow up, human relationships get more complicated when $ is involved in the situations...

that as i grow up, external factors like opportunity, timing, and the ppl you meet play a big part on the outlook of my future...

that as i grow up, my attitude and character determines how i want my future to turn out to be... after all the external factors come into play...

that as i grow up, i can never be certain of wat i wan in life, since it will always be affected by external factors....

... and ultimately, we might not end up in where we thought we want to be.

As Dia sums it up...

What do you in life?
A stable job with stable average income, a challenging job with good pay but lesser quality time, or a quite challenging job but with average income?

What do you in life?
A career with lesser quality time, or a normal 9-5 job with more quality time to spend with your loved ones?

What do you in life?
A good working environment but pays you an average income, or a competitive environment that pays you good $ but leaves you with more stress and less happy times at work?

WHAT DO I WAN IN LIFE?

Hi frens...

I have given up hope to retrieve my old blog... got a reply from Blogger and it seems like it's impossible to "revive" my old entries after trying out the suggestions. Well, perhaps it's time to start a new blog and move on...

Spent the last 5 hours improving the new blogskin... So far i'm satisfied with it... i'm open to suggestions though... ;) ...

JX's on reservist since last Monday... Wonder why he didn't call me today... just pray that things have been gg on well for him in camp... I know God will be protecting him as He always does... Sometimes it's really draining to live in fear... worrying about life... Now, all i hope for is a peaceful mind...

Hopefully i can let go of all these struggles soon...

Btw, below were some pics taken on CNY 2007 ... :)
