Grandaunt

In my memory, my grandaunt, my grandfather youngest sister, has always been a very doting mum. She is the type of mother that show the meaning of unconditional love to her children, maybe to the point of spoiling them but her children all turn out well under her loving care.

When we were young, I always envied how my uncles (who happened to be 2-4 years younger than me) were pampered by my grandaunt, she is always gentle and always there when her children needed her while my mum is the mum that believed in self care and self-service.

15 years ago, she was diagnosed with Cancer but she fight the tought fight and she survived. She lived her life with gratefulness and with more love and care. She married her only daughter off and looked forward to be a grandmother. Unfortunately, the devil came back and hit her bad, her fragil body is bearly twenty over kg. I was sad looking at how weak she look, it must be really painful for her and I wish her well. Not expecting miracle to happen but hope that we will see her more before everything is too late.

Looking back at 2009

2009 passes too fast and stocks taking before welcoming 2010.

Visited Melbourne with Louis, my best trip in 2009. I finally get to drive in Melbourne and amazingly I remembered the route in Melbourne, I managed to get around without referring to the Melway much. Had a good catch up with niece, missed and hope to see her in (S) soon.

Grandma health deteriorated alot and she was hospitalised couple of times, (in fact, she just got admittted again 2 days ago and visiting her later). I had a terrible scared when Grandma had kidney infection, during that period, my tears will roll the moment I visit my grandma and it hurt to see her suffer.

PBB decided to start a small business and we went to GZ together, it was tiring but fun. It was confirmed and sealed that PBB is simply bimbo, we need to give her an award for the number of wrong turn she made while leaving the hotel room.

When I asked Van for a light drink one night to celebrate her birthday, we ended up drinking 3 bottles of champagne and re-discover the joy of drinking. We had great fun and still having fun. Christmas drinking is waiting for us. We also experienced the luxurious and pampering Banyan Tree, we went to 2 Banyan Tree so far and will want to try alot more, but before that got to earn the money first. The supper short trip to Hong Kong to visit Mr Vain was fast and furious. If we are going to HK again, make it a longer and less tiring trip, ok?
I have completed 10km and 21km respectively, timing was disappointing but I truly enjoy the process, I want to run another 21km next year.

This year, we welcome the arrival of baby Gavin and baby Travis, still no Sincerity though. We have moved from TB to Keng Lee and still trying to get used to the new place. Like every other years, we gained some and we lost some, as long as we are gaining more than what we lost, we should be consider doing well right? Wanting to live life to the fullest is still top of the list.
