— issac & my grandfather —
It’s interesting to talk to a child.. Through talking with him, you see how he understand and remember things. He is ignorant of many things thus there is always a different perception involved.
i went to my grandmother’s house on monday and i was asked to fetch jia hong home from her tuition. I brought issac along with me as he pestered me to. Along the way, we will pass by a coffeeshop my grandfather used to frequent. While walking towards it, i recalled how i can always find him sitting there drinking coffee and watching people play chess. And then, Issac suddenly said," 阿公以前坐那里" and he pointed at the group of old men. i was quite stunned. He was only 3 when my grandfather died and he still remembers seeing my grandfather sitting there. Out of curiousity, i asked him ," 阿公现在在哪里?". He said " 阿公眼睛眯眯 ….." and then he thought for a long time and said he dunno.
Maybe at the age of 3 he could already remember things and make sense of it his own way but i was still shocked at our conversation. Yet, it was quite a relief that he still remembers my grandfather.
My grandfather didnt pamper him for nothing ..
