qianwen's leaving for
huang cheng ye yun by hwa chong soon.. weird that this is the 1st time i'm going to watch it.. my grandmother's praying beside me.. she kneels and stands then kneels and chants, kneels and stands then kneels and chants, kneels and stands then kneels and chants, kneels and stands then kneels and chants............and does that for half an hour..
her thighs must be very very muscular..
i had been thinking that she'd be a successful person if she had education .. if she were born in another era.. if the society did not discriminate the "weaker sex".. her character is so strong.. when she got married to my grandfather, she was the one who brought the bread home.. she ran this small business to earn bucks.. sold ice in a tube (like those in mama shops) to kids in the neighbourhood.. according to her, my father always sneaked into the house, took the ice sticks and slipped away through the back door.. imagine my dad as a little boy? a bit difficult..
anyway.. my grandfather was the homemaker.. he had a stroke and was paralysed for
9 years..
9 years! i cant see myself giving everything to take care of somebody day and night.. i'm selfish i know.. =p
my grandmother didnt complain.. she didnt cry, didnt crumble, didnt give up.. her life was him.. how much love was needed between 2 to give so much of oneself? though she always said how she was waiting for his life to end, every one sees that she just wants him to be free of suffering..
ok enough of crap.. bye!
