Life Transformers 2
Watched life transformers earlier… this program always brings tears to my eyes... there are so many unfortunates around us... and i'm alrways living in my own.. always feeling that life is unfair... but yet those who are really unfortunate does not feel that their life is unfair... despite their hardships... they endure and lie on... happiness is not about money or wealth... its about being self content in whatever you have and this is something that i want to learn...
granny who’s already 80 has 3 children, 2 of them have got mental problems… what touched me the most is that at her age, she should be enjoying the last years of her life… however as her children are bound with mental illness, she has to take care of them… and she did it without regrets.
When Quan Yi Feng asked if she eats fish, granny said no, and she hasn’t have fish for many years.. simply because she can’t afford to. But when asked if she still wants to have fish, granny’s reply was that she does not want to eat fish, for she can’t afford and most importantly she doesn’t want to have wants for she doesn’t want to die and go to heaven with regrets.
Despite her age, granny enjoys reading especially the newspapers. She still kept her 40 years old dictionary. Often she refers to her dictionary if she doesn’t understand any of the words. For this I’m ashamed of myself. Many a times, I simply ignore the unknown. Sometimes, I should really find the time to lookup a word or two just to gain some word knowledge, there are so many words in the dictionary and yet I know very little of it. Granny is a huge fan of SM Lee Kuan Yew for SM Lee changed the life of Singaporeans, and she’s grateful to him for given her family a shelter to live in.
She has a biography of SM Lee and it is something very precious to her. Despite having a hard life, she’s very thankful to the volunteers who helped her and she wants the best for everyone. And that’s something I have to learn from her… that is to have a bigger heart…
