Had planned to go cycling along changi with Ah yi mabel, ah yi may, their kids, etc. this morning. Then to go for breakfast and head to the lib to mug after that. However, plans were changed when my grandparents called to ask us to go for breakfast first.
Had prata (again...). Then, we headed for East Coast Mac's since it started to rain. That sian-sation was just so irritatingly sticking to me. The few of us (cousins) decided to go to the arcade since the rain didnt seem like it would stop soon. Tried the para para thing for the first time. It was kinda fun and addictive...
While we were playing half-way, my dad came to tell us that they had gotten a lane for bowling. And so, there we were, at the bowling alley bowling instead of cycling. After bowling, we got to the van to get the bicycles and roller-blades. And, just as we embarked on our journey, it started pouring again. In the end, we were stuck at yet another fast food restaurant - burger king.
Got to blade a bit when the rain was not that heavy. Though it was a short "ride", it was great! Got to sort out alotta unhappy things that had been going on in my mind for the past few days (or weeks?).
Was quite tired by time we were leaving for home. Slept through the journey home. After sending Ah Yi mabel and her kids home, we went home to rest a while, before going to TTSH to visit ah ma.
Chun Heng was already there by time we reached. Took a seat beside ah ma and saw that her right hand was full of needles and tubes. It really hurts to see her like that. She was admitted to hospital coz of super low blood count and the doc transfused 2 packs of blood for her. Held on to her hand... It was evidence of all the tough times that she had went through: veins, bones and wrinkled skin. At that moment, I felt really guilty. How was the lil difficulties that I've been experiencing be compared to hers?
Looking at her, I cant help but think if I would be the same when I'm old. Would my life be an eventful and meaningful one? Or would it be just full of regrets?
I guess "treasure" is what I have learnt from today's experiences...
