Dinner at Riverside Indonesian Restaurant
My grandma August 8, 2005
I love my grandmother. If there is a person in this world I love unconditionally, it would be her simply because she loves me in the same way. She is old and naggy and noisy but she is also vibrant, dynamic, stong and funny. There is no communication barrier with her. She listens to what I say, though never quietly like a true blue old lady. Instead she makes alot of noise and add her two-cents worth everywhere. She can repeat ONE instruction 10 times wihout realising it. Sometimes she makes no sense and O…she has obsessive compulsive cleanliness behaviour. She listens to me most and I know that she loves me the most. Perhaps because I have tortured her since I was born. She works as a cleaner and she loves it. It gives her a chance to interact with people, showoff her jeweleries and something to look forward to each day. She adamantly refuses to quit her job despite our threats, bait and cajolery. She is THAT strong and independent. She is a great woman on all accounts, someone that I admire and love. I mean you HAVE to admire someone who eats steam fish and vegetable everyday without fail to keep herself healthy.
Increasingly, I feel that she is losing more and more of her sparkle. She seems weaker, somehow more frail and not as formidable or forceful. Since she fell and broke her bone, she has been lyng in bed all day, something that she can’t abide by. I see her blaming herself more and more. It worries me to see her getting increasingly despondent, so unlike her usual noisy self. Today, Aunty Jackie and Tristan went back to UK, I saw grandma crying silently after they left. I felt terrible for her. I try to accompany her as much as possible nowadays and despite that, I am really scared.
namology August 3, 2005
I have hereby decided to confer myself a title in a bid to realise my hidden potential(IF I have any. And NO, not the title of PRINCESS which I belive I already have after marrying Prince William).
Here is a list that I am considering
1. Professor of Muggiology
2. The Grand Mugger Li Fangyi
3. CEO of Mugger’s Inc, guaranteed results and sheer hardwork
4. President of NLML(No Life Mugging Losers)
5. Queen Mugon of Muggaland
Now now, which is more flattering? I seem to have a serious dilemma.
