Good evening my grandchildren.I've been through on such a hectic life until this moment.So many assignments and projects need to be completed.Actually I wanted to play online game but my internet is so slow.Slower than a snail.Only suitable for surfing and watching youtube..T_T..
But anyway today I'm going to tell you an event which did shake my though to the very core foundation of my life.It happened around 3 weeks ago but I still can remember it clearly.I'll cut it short and sweet just for you.3 weeks ago I went to see my great grandmother somewhere in Kedah ( I need to keep the location secret just for pure fun).I went with my grandfather.Ok..Actually my grandfather wanted to ride on motorcycle alone to the house but I felt a bit worry due to the age of my grandfather plus the distance also.I offered myself to take him to the house.I drove a car..The journey was really tiring because of the distance. Along the way,my grandfather kept mentioning his intention to eat roti canai...I stopped at several places to full fill his desire but there were no single stall selling roti canai..Then we proceeded the journey to the great grandma house.
By the time we almost there, suddenly my grandfather asked "Did you notice any mosque at the left side?The mosque indicates we are near to the house"...and I said "no"....In my heart I monologue "hmm..now you told me to look for the mosque..things would be easier if you mention it earlier..."but I could not get angry to my grandfather because of two reasons..The first one is he is my grandfather and the second one is I remember the time he waited for me almost everyday outside the school to fetch me up when I was in secondary school...but if other people do the same mistake like my grandfather did, for sure I will curse because of the action..haha...
Back to the story,we actually had passed the mosque so I did a U turn..Then we found the junction...so to cut it short, we arrived at the house..There was an old man sitting on a wheel chair greeted us..I asked my grandpa who was that and he said "that is ur great grandmother's son-in-law" huhu...so OLD!!!...
There was a sad thing happening after the old man greeted us...I noticed he couldn't talk properly!!!He had stroke...half of his body was not functioning so our communication became very difficult...My great grandmother was not at home...I asked him "where is my great grandmother?" he said something but all I could hear was "aaaa aaa aaa"=_=..I felt so bad because I could not understand not even a single word from him...But my grandfather could understand him...T_T...
My great grandmother went out shopping with her nephew...So we decided to wait for her...While waiting for her,my grandpa and the old man talked using signal language...I listened to the mp3 player but I could guess the topic with the help of signal language...suddenly the old man showed a sign by putting his both hands on his head...I was just like "?????"but my grandpa said "Yes..I did the Haj already"oOo...they were talking about the Haj...Then after my grandfather said that,the old man' eyes started to get wet...OMG..I could see tears coming from his eyes...He wept!!!He started to mumbling as if he was disappointed with himself...This time I could understand him..While there were tears running from his eyes,he tried to lift his legs and wanted to stand..He wanted to be normal so that he could go to Mecca...I was touched from what I saw..Both of them talked and talked for hours while waiting for my great grandmother coming back..Sometimes my grandpa asked me "Is it ok with you to wait until she is here?"...Frankly speaking no I'm not ok...I hate waiting..but for the sake of my grandfather, I said "yeah...I can wait for her"...I tell you,if other people ask me to wait especially for insignificance things, I won't wait!!!
After hours of waiting, finally my great grandmother came back..What a relief!!!...haha...From the first time I saw her, I couldn't resist to laugh because I was entertained by her animated actions..haha..I felt as if my waiting was very worth while....So many things I asked her...like "do you still smoke?"hahaha..yes!!MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER IS A SMOKER...When we were talking,relatives who wee staying near the house started to come...They had one thing in common..Which was all of them were old..=_=...I felt like I was trapped..haha...
Most common topic they talked was about death..OMG...That topic was not suitable for my age!!!hahaha..but from the way the talked,slowly I felt I got drifted by my young age..One of them said "Life is short...we used to be young like you..."he pointed at me..That sentence woke me up from my dream..now I realized how fast time can fly..We are getting older each second...For example I was younger when I started to write this blog compared to now...My grandfather really enjoyed the visit...I could see it from his eyes...Another thing is my grandfather said to his mother "Nowadays I am afraid to ride on motorcycle for a long journey because of my age..Luckily my grand son wanted to take me to see you"...I was like "OoO..actually you are not confident with yourself but you pretend to be other wise"If I did not offer him to take him to his mother,I dare to say he would go there even he is not fit enough"...
After awhile, we said goodbye to them...On the way back home,only God knew how tired I was but I played cool..My grandfather felt to sleep in the car...Leaved me alone driving..huuuu...
That's all for today dear..I want to sleep right now...see u soon dear..love u soo much..taaa
