"To Wisma Kahong,
We go," says Kongkong.
Because today, 
You're getting your pay.

Tightly held my hand, 
We crossed the road.
When you get your pay,
I'll get my share.

Sometimes, candies.
But mostly, ice cream.

You watched me smile and whine
When I first learnt to cycle.
Every afternoon at the playground there,
There's a time, well, I fell into the drain as I cycled.
You picked me up, it's ok, you were always there.

All this happened when I was 5,
Some memories of you and I.
I am now 25,
You; white hair and 84,
It's been oh, very long ago.
To be precise, 20 years ago.

Back when my man of steel,
We believed was wow, so strong.
For this man, with strong will,
It's now my turn to be very strong.

Life is a journey. Colorful, eventful, meaningful and peaceful, but not tearful; this is my only wish for you.

Appreciate the people/things you have before they become who and what you once had.

I want to buy you roasted duck when I get my first pay. I want to see you smile. There are still many things I want to do with you and for you, my Man of Steel.

>>Did grocery. Saw Chupa Chups and thought of the kids. 
I remember when I first taught 1Z- Decimals, most of them couldn't answer the worksheet. But, when I brought Chupa Chups to the next class, everyone amazingly, miraculously, perfectly understood. Such tamchiak kids. Chupa Chups; my miracle candy.

>>One way to learn to practise patience - Spending time with the grandparents. 
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. 
When I was younger, my grandparents always said Yes to the things I wanted and hoped for when my parents said No; secretly. 
So many secrets between grandparents and grandchildren!
