A day full of love from granny
August 19th, 2006 by bluecresentWell… i can’t sleep and did little studying so here i am again.. i really should get a proper blog now. Cara see what u got me into! haha .. after blogging earlier, i really went off to holland v coffee bean to study.. OMG! i wish i didn’t.. I was trying so hard to focus than i saw the lesbian couple in front of me french kiss! Gosh! its just wrong la!
than the bunch behind me was like laughing loudly and talk as if they are hosting a show… OMG! luckily, i did shift to a sofa sit where i finish some studying. After that, i went to granny’s where i headed straight for the bed! Granny still as loving as ever thought i was sick.. and came over to ask me am i ok.. i assured her i am just tired and lay down for a while.. I just love granny so much.. what will i do without her…=) When i woke up, it was already
8pm
so i had my dinner and watched a little tv. Although, it was just porridge, veg and some duck meat, i was very contented. Its been such a long time since i had a homecooked meal. While eating, i tot of "him" and how he don’t have homecook meals as well.. i am lucky enough i can come over to granny’s once in a while for nice food. Well.. i am typing bcoz i’m pretty sure he wont check out my blog. Moving on, i started to studying aain soon.. than i chatted with Gabriel through msg… and *poof * i ended up online again! haha seating here in the very house i grew up in talking to my good friends online, i suddenly feel like years has really fly pass.
haha was just saying and granny woke up go toilet than come ask me go sleep haha. okok.. carrying on… i was thinking of writing a poem about this house which have given me so much.. but most to the person i cannot live without.. Granny…
Dedicated to Granny: In this house
The familiar foothold of the mable flooring,
The familiar yelling of "ah ma! ah zai!" *FYI: granny and uncle in hokkien*
The familiar touch, the familiar emotions
All this is found, no where else
but in this house.
this house which i have grown up in,
grown up with..
the relationships and memories i have here,
one that is endless..
which can be written into thousands of books..
story of my life..
shots in memory candid..
only for me to see..
but one thing stay unchange..
my granny here to stay.
yes.. she lost a few pounds,
gain a few winkles now..
but her familiar stench of smell
not one i can explain..
i miss laying on her lap..
i miss going "ah ma what u cook?" with the innocent stare..
so much has changed since i was young..
the furnitures and the mirrors and tiles..
but change is the only constant..
everyone knows..
but my love for her deepers in soul.
even though i am grown up now..
in front of her, i am still ah mei at 12..
i don’t like to think that she may leave..
though its life’s course, nature’s bliss
that she will age and go to some place,
a place which i will go one day..
call me selfish i dun care..
for now i just want my granny not dere..
staying here, living here..
forever with me she’ll stay, until the end of days.
childish thinking yes i know..
but with love so deep u cannot toil..
not with money, not ever with time.
my granny is priceless.
That i won’t hide.
For all things here matters..
all things here stays..
in the room of my memory..
I will live my days.
Even the stench of ciggrates,
my uncle companied..
each time I smell it.. I know its him to be.
nobody else can replace it… not even my daddy..
Even the loud laughter of my auntie..
that makes me in shock as I studied..
I laugh along with it..
The loud radio that signals my other uncle,
the out of tune singing..
it is perfect in my mind.
gotta used to it..
So now u see how much it means to me,
in this little house I call granny’s
