random thoughts

realized this is not a very apt title cos all the previous entry were random thoughts too, but i'm just not any more creative than this :P

a whole month of the new year has passed, so quickly! but what's new, every entry seems to start with how time flies anw. endeavored to study harder this year, but somehow that only lasted for a week.. tuition and all, tho not a lot, seem to be taking up a substantial amt of time, not to mention my craving to bake! so want to bake some cny cookies or something!

stayed over at my grandma's place last weekend, which happens almost fortnightly or weekly.. i won't say it's most convenient, but it's a nice quiet place to spend a weekend night actually. to try to get some work done, or just to have some time to get lost in thought, time, and space. and it occurred to me that 2 of the most beautiful women i've know are my grandmothers. One has amazed me with her strength and will power after everything that happened last year.. i don't know, i was just so afraid that things wld go downhill for her after that, that it wld be a change too great to cope with.. but i'm so glad things didn't turn out that way (i know that a tinge of sadness gets to her sometimes when she looks at old photos, but that's only natural right). mayb it's bcos she accepted Christ after that, mayb it's bcos she just has a very positive outlook to life, but what ever it is, i'm really impressed!

and my other grandmother, the way she looks after my grandfather, helping nurse him with his every need, keeping him company the whole day, sometimes having to put up with complaints of how home-cooked food doesn't taste very tasty (he's really nice, but i do imagine it does get tiring), i don't know, but i think it'll take enormous effort to keep up with that.. and e lack of outward expression of appreciation for all she's been doing (tho i do believe that pple don't always speak what they feel..) and how she doesn't go out very much, but when she does, she's always thinking and rushing abt so that she won't be away for too long..she's got lotsa energy for a grandma too, does the grocery shopping, and cooks yummy dinner for e whole family almost everynight. amazed

ironically, i know that we seldom tell the respective pple this sort of things, it's just kind of strange right...so as i was saying, these are completely random thoughts. haha.. just didn't feel like doing very much work on a friday night :P
