visited grandma today at bedok. had a really short conversation with her. it went sth like that. (translated from teochew to english of course)

me: how are you grandma?

g: im good, how old are you this year?

me: 22

g: time pasts really fast, how long more to ORD?

me: yes time flies, 8 more months to go

g: good good, you have adapted quite well to military?

me: yes i have

g: how old are you again this year?

me: u guess?

g: i think you're 20 something

me: im 22.

*after 10 seconds*

me: how old am i grandma?

g: i dont know, i think you should be 20 plus?

hitting the dreaded 90 soon and taking more pills a day then i drink cups of water. i couldnt stop myself from thinking: "for how long more will i still be able to see you as you are?"

the 10 minutes was well worth the 2 hour journey to and fro from west to east. just so i could have a slice of memory of my grandma while she was still living.

me? i may be selfish but i do not wish to live that long. but thats not a choice, it all boils down to fate.

welcome december, you have finally come. i have waited a long time for you.

its time to do the things i have wanted to do all year long in these short 3 weeks.

maybe even asking the apple of my eye out.. hahahahahahahaha.. i reminisce too much about secondary school days..

a more detailed update soon.
