recently, i have been thinking of someone alot. My grandmother. just yesterday, i went for photo shoot. a family photo, cause my sis graduated. while we were waiting for our turn ( it was quite crowded), i held my grandma's hand and told her,

" grandma. u must wait for me. when its my turn, u gotta take with us again too"

she just smiled and say " it will be another 7 years till that day comes. i dunno if i can live that long"

i immediately replied her " do not talk such nonsense. you will certainly live to that day. you will also have to see me get married."

and all she did, was smile. oh, and the above conversation was in hokkien, and i translated them to eng.

7 years. it can be long, it can be short. but i wish, pray and hope that she can wait that long. my wish, is none other then graduating, with my grandmother sitting there, smiling at me. words will not need. her smile would suffice. finally, my goal in life has been set. 7 years. 1 more in JC, 2 more in army, and prolly 3-4 years in uni. 7 years. grandma, please wait for me. i will not delay that 7 years. but if there are shortcuts, i will take it.

wait for me.
