Children

Mum used to be very energetic in teaching her children. Now, most of her children had grown up and able to look after themselves. On the other hand, she has grown older and less energetic compared to the past. You get what I mean?

How much do you care about your family? Okay there're a lot of ways to 'care', we know. I care, and I know the ways of caring couldn't be explained. How are you going to explain? Needless to explain because all WE need to do is to take action. Don't you agree?

You see, how parents care about their children, how children care about their parents; how grandparents care about their grand-children, how the grandsons granddaughters care about their grandparents; how siblings care about siblings...

Have you ever think about what are your parents doing when they are at work, what your grandparents do when there is only both of them at home, what are your sibling/s doing now and where are they, are they all doing well doing fine...

Have you ever look or stare at your parents face even for a few seconds? Did you notice the ways your grandparents have their food and drinks? Or the way they walk? Have you really notice the way your sibling/s hold a pen or pencil? How are their handwritings? What I want to say is, did you notice the differences, compared to the past?

We are their children, and we'll always be. Like what people said, we are assumed as young little children by our parents no matter how old we are. They care about us, with their own unique ways, although we might not like it sometimes. Don't imagine if you lost it one day in future, how would it be; appreciate now, if it doesn't really hurts you. It is said that they walked on more bridges than us, though.

Like in my case, I found that parents getting older and I'm like having some kind of responsibility to teach and 'raise' my younger sister up hopefully in collaboration with my parents and brothers so that she will grow up and become happy responsible person with good manner.

I'm living with my grandparents and no doubt you'll find some part of me a bit like old people. I observed a lot honestly. Ah gong Ah ma seriously cares about me and so do I, but I think they care about me more than I do for them. Ah gong always buy foods for me and there's always a lot of food available for me. Ah ma always say that she's worried if I starve. You see! And Ah ma always ask me what time I'd need to wake up for class the next day and she'd wake me up.

I have handsome brothers! and I like to talk to them as if I admire them. Not like admire lar, because I'm always like the younger me, listen to their conversation and ask stupid questions. It's funny that I found out my brothers handwritings are still like kids' after so many years!
