Old folks home. Where i question about fillial piety. Where has it gone to? i dont know. Ytd piano went to Mun chong comfort home. Yes, deeply distressing/ heart-breaking trip. But i learnt a lot, a lot. what hit me was that question. Why? why bring your parents there? then i felt guilty and ashamed as i had some recollections of my grandfather staying in the old folks home. Then again, i ask. why? bringing them there is tantamount to abandoning them! we all say that. just as some ppl shared during debrief, people do change. Now we say it's cruel, now we feel upset, but who knows what may happen in the future? When we all become heartless career minded freaks? What are we gonna do then? people DO change, it seems to be this way. i understand their plight, the severely simple lives of these old folks, and then i wonder, is this ethical? will i change? there is indeed no warmth/ love in that place. Why put them there?
if you realised, i was tearing.

So here i am blogging at my grandma's hse. Brought her to sushi buffet just now. Mouthfuls of soft shelled crab, sashimi, mouth-watering food. This contentment cannot be compared to seeing her ever-radiant countenance. I just realised my own definition of happiness/blessedness- to see your loved ones smile.
p.s. my ah ma is peering at the comp screen, but she has no idea what im typing about. hee.
p.s. THANKS LOH HWEE MIN FOR THAT LOVELY SWEET THING. YOU ARE SO VERY INDEED LOVED! YOU MEAN A LOT A LOT TO ME LOH HWEE MIN. YOU NEVER FAIL TO GIVE ME PLEASANT SURPRISES WHICH CHEER ME UP A LOT A LOT A LOT. THANKS. LOVE YOU. KISS KISSS HAHAHA. <33>
p.s. happy birthday to corliss! And i hope you'll recover soon ;)
