When i was young, we are often asked to write compositions. Titles are always about the same. For a couple of compositions, they asked me to write: " the person you respect the most, the person you love the most in the family, etc etc"


Most child will tend to write their father/mother. Afterall, the two person are considered the closest to us. For me, i chose to write to my grandma. Its not i dont love my parents. I do love them. Grandma was like a second mom to me. Since young when i was born, Grandma took up this responsibilty to look after me. Im the 1st grandchild my grandma and grandpa have. They are so elated when im born and they shower me with lots of love. My parents took me home only during weekends. Soon after, my bro was born. Mom chose to look after him at home. Thus i continue to stay at grandma place together with my 3 aunts and 2 uncles who are not married then. All of them treat me like a little queen and they played with me everyday after they came back from work. They read storybooks to me and teach me simple languages and how to write. In the day, Grandma and Grandpa will be the one who will be looking after me. And when im 4 years old, Grandpa passed away. He has an unknown virus attacking his body and after a week in hosp, he died.


Grandma then took up this responsibility to look after me by herself. I still remember whenever im sick, the remedy to it is a bowl of mian xian with lotsa of omelette strips in it. Grandma will always try to get me to finish up my food and medicine by giving me treats or giving me to drink sips of ribena as its my favourite. Its until when im 7 and have to attend primary school, Mom den bring me back home more often.


When Grandma is free, she will sit infront of her sewing machine sewing clothes while i will be at one corner doing my things. Everynight, when aunts and uncles are not back home, Grandma and I will be sitting in the kitchen eating dinner. After dinner, the both of us will on Channel 8 to watch those variety shows together.


Wherever grandma goes, i will want to follow. That is why she always try to persuade dad to let me stay at her place whenever dad dont agree.. Dad always feel that i got pampered by grandma as whatever i wan, whatever i do at grandma place, she never say no or scolded me before. Even Bro and sis feel that grandma side me more though sometimes im the one who start the fight.


Grandma often brings me to malaysia to visit my grand aunt there. And whenever we go to market and saw frens/relatives, she will always intro me proudly as her 1st grandchild and she will tell everyone to call me "ah girl". To grandma, though i have grown up and in my 20s, she still call me "Ah girl" and she always treat me like a child.


Grandma will always cook the food i love to eat whenever i stay at her place. she knws what i love to eat, and my habit of eating food. Take a fried egg for example. She will always fried the egg and not overcook the egg yolk because she knew i love to drink the egg yolk. And if the yolk cooked, she will have the whole egg herself and cook a new one for me. Last time in primary school, five stone is so popular. In the end, when grandma knows that i would like to have one sets of myself, she make 2 sets of them for me.


This entry wont be able to finish as there are thousands, millions of things that grandma has done for me.


i love you grandma, always it will be. (:
