The cutest root in my life.

Better blog it down when the feeling is still intense in me, I rush to laptop once I reach home.


Today, I visit my grandma, popo. We always call her popo, or wang popo 王婆婆


Before popo fell down and had orthopaedic surgery, she was with us, stay with us for years, and she is my bed-mate, that's where the intimacy starts (even though she saw my naked body since I was a kid, and I barely remember that, so it doesn't count to me. But I know, popo sayang me the most a lot, as the youngest granddaughter that she has)

Before I stepped in the house, I can already hear my popo, praying super loudly. OMITOFU OMITOFU OMITOFU..  (My grandma is a Buddhist)

Then I saw her lying on the sofa, like this. 

And actually gave me a light slap when I first sit down near to her. And she didn’t stop praying still, then she told me, her gum pain. She wants to let me feel the pain. =.=  (after that, popo didn’t show any sign of pain or even mention the pain again. And I suspect, she actually hits me simply because she knows I took too long to visit her again. She is super smart today. How smart?! Please read below. 

I recorded a video of my popo praying very hard, failed to upload bcz of the size can't be coped by the tortoise speed of internet that my house subscribe to. The background omitofu was my mum, she prays with a rhythm, not bad, and my grandma follows the rhythm and actually got tired 喘 at the middle part and start laughing, exposing her almost toothless mouth.

Today, popo is smart! Very smart. So, my dad was asking her, does she want to sit up, instead of lying down on the sofa.

Then my grandma replied: I don’t wanna poo. Who said I wanna poo?

ME: No one said that. Who said that?

Grandma: Then, why he asked me whether I wanna sit up not, we only need to sit up straight when we wanna poo, who tells you we need to sit up when chatting with others. =.=  Why can’t I lye down talking to you. =.=

This wang popo, is super smart and alert today huh.

So rude ya, this photo. Hahaha.

 Throughout the talk, popo keeps hugging me, help me comb my hair with her fingers, tidy up my hair, slip my hair back my ears, She also keeps touching my face.. (Touching face is very commonly happened, my popo likes to touch people’s face, not just mine. But, running across my hair using her fingers, slip my hair back my ears is something unusual, rare to happen.)

Popo, held my hand with us crossed each others fingers. Then after few minutes, she complained, it was pain because we held too tight. hahaha. Then she starts mumbling I'm too skinny la, bla bla bla...

Popo talks a lot today, and she calls me mummy, and talks in 4 languages to me, Mandarin, Malay, Cantonese and hokkien. 

 Like this picture very much, even though it was bit blurry.

I mentioned just now that my grandma keeps touching my face right...

Then I asked grandma,

ME: popo, you got wash your hands not, after you poo poo. If you didn’t wash your hands, then my face habes liao..

POPO: 你都傻的， 我一定有洗手啦 ..  you are stupid izzit, sure I washed my hands.

 This is so popo. Popo always scold people like this. Hahaha. At one point, I think I’m really stupid, because I was laughing so hard when she scolded me like that. I used to get scolded before I sleep, because she was my bed-mate, I sleep with her every night, and she keeps scolding me for some tiny matters to me, but big matters to her. Such as why I am not wearing long pants to sleep, why I didn’t blow my hair dry, why I didn’t wipe my feet dry enough before I sleep. (Obviously, my grandma sees my future possible health problem such as headache, migraine as a big matter more than I perceived it) (and, popo, 99% of time, I will blow my hair dry before I sleep, I still don’t wear long pants: I guess that’s why I got dengue not long ago and I have not learned from the lesson yet)

Popo being generous, insists me to finish her cup of drinks. She is always like that, think of us about everything. 

My popo..

Not being recognized by her, and not have my name called out from her mouth is not something disappoints me anymore. (And to make me feel better, she always asks for me when I’m not around. I know she misses us a lot, her grandchildren. ) To see her talks so much and being so happy today makes my day.

My popo. I wish you live healthily and so happy and energetic like today.



Note to self: not to forget the roots, not to have even a moment of shame or mahuan, not to forget they are the people who raise us up and educate us. They sacrifice a lot for us.




突然想起 黄子华 的笑话：


你敢说我不负责任？！
我为了我父母那一刹那的快感，　负责任了二十多年，　你说我不负责任？！



哈哈，也对噢。


那就让我们负责任到底吧。
加油！
