I seriously have absolutely no idea what i want to blog about since life has been pretty much as interesting as watching a turtle crawl. Something i heard a few days ago makes my heart melt. I'm not sure about other people's life but love and affection are seldom heard of in my family, especially the older generation, where they show their care for each other deep in the heart. Life hasn't been particularly fair to grandma as of late but she has got the sweetest brother i got to say. Granduncle visited grandma last week, gave her a hug and told her that he will stood by her and not let anyone bully her. Upon his words, tears rolled down grandma's eyes. He even paid to bring grandma to visit their hometown in China next week. I just feel so happy for Grandma because she's a tough cookie and she totally deserves all the love in this world. I think the relationship between her and granduncle is what we call true siblings love. This story never fails to give me goosebump each time i think about it because this is something very hard to ask for from the older, traditional and conservative generation. I don't particularly like to share about what goes on in the family because it's not at all glamorous to share such stuff publicly but i simply need to share this because it's just so sweet and simple. Don't we all just crave for simplicity, with a little love from the friends and family and not much of complexity to give us a heart attack. I don't really have a clear definition of what simplicity really means but all i know is that life is always good when we were young. We have our neighbours and siblings or even stranger's kids to play with and it doesn't matter what we're playing because it's always fun. But as we grow old and as the society changes, life is all about acceptance. And people change, as do i. In the quest of acceptance and "fame", we have people who would resort to defaming others or betraying themselves by being who they're not. It's sick. I'm not implying that i'm all perfect and naive because i'm not. I grow, i learn from mistakes and i change. People like it and people don't. But at least i am, or think i am, seeking acceptance from people whom i genuinely cares for and i do not step across the line that spells poser with a capital P.
