the precious onesa friend's loss made me miss my gramps suddenly. honestly, i would so hate to be in his position now. i can never imagine that one day, im unable to see that cute smile again. those times that i can just nag at him for smoking and chase him around e house while doing so. i rmb all those lil things he has done for me when i was that lil kid, wilful and all. i was his favourite kid and he was everything. he would buy me my favourite pau and ice cream and sit with me at the park, watching e hungry me gobble those stuffs down. the packaging of the ice cream was yellow and had brown monkeys hanging around. rain or shine, he never ever once failed to turn up. i heard from my mom, he was alw thr to shield me from all e beatings that i earned (: oh yes! he is as old as mickey mouse!
e times when..
:) i will try to compare our heights when i was 50cm shorter than him. then, i thought to be able to stand at 160cm would be a great deal and i love e fact that he is taller than me.
:) he will teach me to hold my pen properly and nag at me for not doing so.
:) he taught me calligraphy and i simply drew pictures with his precious brush collection
:) he taught me chinese! all those idioms and those chinese phrases on life, filial piety, friendship and studies (unbelivable ey?)
:) he made me kites with bamboo and tracing paper and we will fly it together at marina south
:) he and my granny told me to bring them to changi airport to watch airplanes tog (tt's whr i got the interest from!)
:) we will go market tog w my granny and learn the diff kind of animals they sell thr. then, i learned that chicken is called "cheekoo!" hahha!
:) he will carry me around on his back and we will make funny shadows tog
:) he will nag at me for being so skinny and not eating enough
:) he stood solemnly by the windows cuz he cant get to slp
:) he had insomnia cuz i had high fever
..and so on! thr's really so many things to remember bout him and i dont ever wanna let go. it's ironic how i started this post with tears streaming down and ended up w a smile on my face.
i love gramps! and his oh so cute smile! (:
