Stories about Love-------My Time with Ah-Ma

My time with AH-Ma

How I want to turn back the hands of time ;
to the moment when I was still a child who had her by my side.
A mentor who taught me to savour the simple joys of life ;
but more so, a guardian angel who shielded me with her loving hugs.


Sullen Beauty

Drifting slowly away from shore,
white petals of a wilted lily stood before.
Though its beauty was once very much adored,
all that remains are but mere memories of its past glory.


Once again it has been quite a while since I posted an entry...Anyway due to the haze outside...I decided to rejuvenate this very dead site.

I was watching this mini series on channel 5 a couple of weeks ago and was very much drawn to this particular episode titled " My time with Ah-Gong". Its plot revolves around the rather awkward relationship of a young spoilt brat with his helpful "karang-guni" grandfather. Having brought up as a little tyrant who was accustomed to having anything he desires by his single mother, he soon had to adapt to his grandfather's humble surroundings when his mother left him there to pursue her own dreams of becoming a movie star. As the child had never met his grandfather prior to this, the relationship was one of a rather frosty nature. Yet through their shared passion for soccer and a grandfather's undying love and affection, the boy soon warmed up to him and thus ensured formerly broken ties were finally mended.

The story somewhat reminded me of the time when my grandmother and I were still under the same roof. Though she has since moved to my aunt's, I still very much cherished the moments when I was cared for as a child. I never did saw my paternal grandfather as he passed on before I was born and all I had were stories of him to piece together an imaginary picture in my mind. My maternal grandparents left me when I was still young, hence I only remember rather vague images of them. Nevertheless, I still have a grandmother to care for and treasure...at least I get to enjoy a quarter of a grandparents' love...I'm contented.

Anyway...I know it's kind of late to post this on especially since I wrote the latter poem sometime ago...but better late than never.
