My Thoughts

This is going to be my outlet for my thoughts and feelings. They may be my small thoughts and non important for most of you. But, it is important that I have got my thoughts and feelings off my chest. I can reflect on them years leter. I can see how I have changed and shaped up in my opinions.

My first post is for my loving grandpa and grandmom. They were very special two individuals with two different personalities. They are still much loved and missed by three of us. It still makes me smiled when I think of some silly things and happy times, we had together. We had a great times in Sagu. That was more than 25 years ago.

Anyway, thank you for reading.

Kong Kong & Po Po (Grandpa & Grandma)

For PoPo (Grandma)
Playing badminton on the street,
Smashing shuttlecock from left to right,
Catching it left and right on its flight,
Where Pó Pó (Grandmother) always lead.

An aged but robust grandma,
Pounding on the stone grinder;
Peanut, sugar and sticky rice for dinner.
She was our loving Nana.

Neatly combed gray hair,
Light powder for her fair.
A radiant face,
Always with a smiling grace.

In the Back yard, Grandma and Three of us,
Sitting and lying around her after a hearty feast,
Listening to her most classic “Journey to the West”.
How could we not miss her story telling art?

Laughter filled the night,
Not ready to go to bed.
Reminding us for no bed wet.
Must try with all our might.

Together before bed, saying prayers in Hakka
Wishing all of us in good health,
Good moral ones not to worry else,
As we always love Jesus and our Grandma.

Quietly and quickly, years may have passed.
We will never forget all the good past.
Since you left us all alone,
In our memory, we are never alone.

Pó Pó, you are the biggest part of our lives.
We will realize your dream at last.
You are still an inspiration to all of us.
Till The end, Love for you will ever last.

For Kong Kong (For Grandpa)

Born on the 6th of December.
Two of us in the family member,
It’s a time to remember.
One is shinning like a star in the sky,
To guide a clipper in the stormy weather.

Love the game of a football.
My favorite was a baked corn.
Kong Kong was also having a ball.
I just wanted to blow my bike horn
With Joy, beautiful evening for us all.

To School, before off we go,
Try to sit on Kong Kong’s lap.
Brothers and sister lined up in a row.
Hand us pocket monies with a tender tap.
We were his little loving dolls.

A quite man with an easy smile,
A warm man with a tender heart,
To have us in the pile,
He had always worked very hard.
He’d always go an extra miles.

An image of a good deed,
His foot steps to follow,
A simple mind to seek,
So, his life was a mellow.
He was never in a long sorrow.

Home was a place to gather,
Either in good health or sickness,
There was our dear loving Grandfather.
For us, his Love was never being less,
As our love for him is still in a mass.

Nineteen years ago, today
My grandfather and I celebrated our birthday together.
With a simple kiss and photo taken together,
Now I deeply remember,
He had left us in this cold winter.
