A Happy+ Prosperous+ Good Health New Year!
Time flies and it's hard to imagine I'm 24 this year already. 21 seem only yesterday but now it's hard but not to admit I'm literally a middle age man. NOT a boy anymore but a man whose income is still @ $0 per annum.
And as I looked around my frens from NBS who are still relatively young, I don't feel that old actually. Perhaps it's the synergy of idea which age doesn't really play a part that make me feel a part of them. I enjoyed this period of my life in NTU tremendously, even if it's quite hectic which often lead me to believe time really FLIES.
But when I mixed around with my poly mates, we discussed about more serious stuffs. Our career path, our relationship, our family and it hit us all that we are 24 this year, our dearest fren Gy is already intending to propose to his gf on vday yet we have yet to have any gf that is particularly worrying hahaha..Perhaps it's not the case yet for me. I'm alrite with being single now but perhaps my view will change as I get older.
Yesterday I had my reunion dinner with my father side at a restaurant. Things didn't start off quite well because my grandpa was exhausted after walking from the car park with the assistance of my father and my uncle to the restaurant. His face was pale and he seem very weak. He was unable to lift his head and all of us got a shock. The staff were very helpful and gave us warm water etc. We immediately lied him down on the chair and my mother and aunties rubbed medicated oil on his forehead. It was only until a while when he recovered then he joined us for the meal. His face resumed its pink glow and his appetite was surprisingly good for his age. He ate everything my father and uncle put on his plate. As we were afraid that he might be breathless if we walked him back to the car, I piggy back him with the assistance of my dad and uncle to the car.
I think this post is really about time and tide wait for no man. When I was small, when all my grandparent were around, you see them busy running around, doing stuffs and this image stuck with you that they will always be around, being active but the sad fact of life is that people aged and they get weaker, sometimes their brain deteriorate and you can't place the grandparent whom you know since you were young to the grandparent that you are witnessing now. The grandpa I know since young, who is always so active and running around is now mentally and physically weak and gave us a fright yesterday when he was breathless.
It's the cycle of life. No one can escape from it.
