Reminiscence
'The Verdant vs The Azure'
Taken at Brown Stone Apartments in Purdue campus.
My grandma had a cataract removal surgery this week. The operation was sucessful and she's on the way to smooth recovery. Having just celebrated her 78th birthday last week, it was indeed a blessing that she's still going strong. Many attribute her health to the fact that she's a vegetarian, but i think that the penultimate reason is her innate cheerfulness radiating every day irregardless of sunshine or rain. She did everything to make the world okay for her children and grandchildren. Ah ma, I am proud of you. Thanks for the dumpling wrapping and pao-making lessons. Happy Mothers' Day. Stay happy always.
Si Gu, I know you probably need to concentrate more on putting in extra effort to reach the stage of marriage, let alone motherhood, but you have been a great 'mother' to all your nephews and nieces. I learnt a lot from you, ie drawing and coloring, mental arithmetic, quotes from the book of 'xin yun da shi' (direct translation: Master Star and Cloud) etc etc. Thank you for your care. Da Gu and Er Gu, best chefs in our family, your culinary skills have satisfied my heart through my stomach. Thank you for the wonderful gastronomical experiences. San Gu, thanks for fetching me to and fro tuitions and other travels as well as talking about life. You have been a good teacher of life. Wu Gu and Xiao Gu, thanks for being there to share jokes and laughters. Thanks aunts, Happy Mothers' Day. Stay cheerful always.
My mother has raised 4 boys under one roof and still is able to keep the roof intact. We, the 4 demolition brothers, had been a pain in the neck, the head and the heart. Rebelious times started not during adolescent years, but much earlier. I remembered for some petty reasons I hit my mum with a cane before. I didn't talk to her for a long while but mum forgave me. Sorry ma, and thank you for being patient with me. Thanks for the soups you painstakingly made during the examination seasons, among other things. Thanks for the dumpling recipe. Happy Mothers' Day. Stay healthy always.

wah, knowing who and "what" you are, you still dared to claim that you're "rebellious"?? OMG, you should see me in action when i'm crossed, and you'll know how subtle you always is...
