Sometimes the most beautiful things are the ones that you don't have because in your mind it's perfect. However, in reality, they may not be.

Grandma
If having any sort of belief or even to the extent of superstition can give a little hope then why not? Sometimes it's not the circumstances that kills people but the lack of hope that dealt the blow.
My neurons are screwing me up again and it doesn't help that I've been jobless for a longer than expected period and recent news of my granny falling sick again didn't really help as well.
This year is not really good. My grandma is sick again, Dad just brought her to see a doctor on Sunday for heart palpitations and recent two blood tests showed that she had hereditary thyroid illness which suddenly decided to turn up and this was after the episode of her diagnosed as being slightly diabetic. Seemed like diabetes and thyroid malfunction ran in the genes and for so many years never showed up till this year. If this year is to be such a bad year, I will rather that I be the one to take the brunt of all these nonsense.
If I could choose to stop at a particular time in my life, I would choose to stop at the happy times of my childhood staying with grandma. My granny is the one who will sit down with me, copy out and cut out drawings of this mouse that I will colour and give away to my kindergarten friends.
There was another time in the lowest period of my life, I remember I had tuition that day and I went to her place at Tampines for dinner because my tutor stayed somewhere near her. Just her and me, she told me that if I had any problems, I can always tell her or my parents because everyone cared for me. A simple statement but it saved my life. Then there was the time when the ex broke up with me. Granny was the one I ran crying to even though she was staying so far in Yew Tee.
There was a heartbreaking period of time where subsequently she got thrown out of the house by my uncle's nasty wife. The period of time when she and my grandpa are homeless, living from house to house, nobody wanted them, even my mum. Then the children decided to rent somewhere for them to stay and so they went from rented places to rented places untill finally the MP wrote a letter to HDB and got them a place to stay at the one-room flat in Chai Chee. My earliest memory was staying with them in Chai Chee but in a five-room flat and now they are back in the same area, living in a worse off flat and back to living on their own again. But at least granny is happier in the new place because she can led her own life, cook as she want, go out with her friends as she want. I live in regret that I cannot provide them with a proper place to live in back then.
She would be the one to bring me to the guan yin temple to ask for a lot when things are not going well for me. I want to go ask for a lot too for her health but fear what it says. What if it's not good news? I would want to give her a few more years of my life so she can be healthy and happy.

Random thought
It takes two hands to clap. With the right partner, everything you do together feels right; with the wrong partner, everything you do together will be wrong. But will the right person turn wrong? Maybe. And will the wrong person turn right? That's possible too. Life's full of surprises. As a quote I read before says: "nothing is for certain except death and taxes". So don't be too fast to shut someone out of your life but that also applies to don't keep the rubbish around for too long either. It's all a matter of timing.
