Memories...

dear blog, very meaningful sunday for me..went to pay respects to my deceased grandfather and grandmother. Brought back a lot a lot of memories..my grandfather was very very very nice and caring of me in the past..but being a turbulent and rebellious kid that i was, there were a number of occasions when i was very rude to him..and i still regret them until this dae, but i m sure he understands that i was just a stupid kid then, and that i didnt mean what i said last time.

thought about my dad's 2nd brother too, wondering where in the world he is now, with his family...last time when my grandfather passed away, they actually caused damn lot of trouble over who takes over his will, possessions etc..bloody hell..they were only concerned with money rather than my grandfather's welfare..still make my blood boil todae when i think of what they did to my family. I was only a kid then, and i rem them saying very very nasty things about my parents.

i still rem them until this dae. hmm..lets just say i had quite a turbulent childhood lah..just glad that we have cut ties with that other group of the family tree. In fact, ever since my grandfather's funeral more than 10 years ago i havent seen them until this dae.

when i was in sec 1, i got into an argument with my classmate. It is ok to insult one another, but never one person's mum. He did that, so i just stood up in the middle of the class and punched him right across the face. His spectacles flew across the classroom and landed right at the legs of the teacher, Miss Yeo. haha..damn drama lah..needless to say, i got into quite a bit of punishment in return.

on a brighter note, one of my elder cousins getting married in november! haha, he's 33 this year, and his fiancee's 37, 4 years older, so mayb he does go for older women haha..anyway damn happy for them lah..we were talking about girls and settling down..and we talked about the topic of religion coming into relationships. Just kinda wondering, isnt it quite sad that some girls in the world set religion as being part of a boyfriend criteria? sometimes its also coz of the family being very strict or devoted to their religion, such that they cannot accept a boyfriend of different religion. I just feel that sometimes girls miss out on many potential partners when they put in the thinking "my boyfren must be a Christian or Catholic as well, in order to connect with me spiritually". At least to me, love should transcend the boundary of religion.

think my brother faced such a dilemma recently (haha yes, we are talking again and things are back to normal). Heard from my mum that he was getting along quite fine with this girl, but becoz of her very strict religious family background, her family was against them being together. haha, yah, then i had a long conversation with my mum, and as expected, she's definitely ok if i have a Christian or Catholic wife next time..my mum quite relak lah, she recognizes though that normally its more of the girl's family side who worry more bout such things.

yup yup, on another note, i gave my wife a good rubbing and shower todae haha! Finally had the time on a relaxing sunday to do all these nitty-gritty stuff..
