Remember....

Today is August 16th. Half of the month left. It seems time is just flying. To my students, time seems to move so slowly. They are just waiting for their exams to be over and then to have a good time during the year end holidays. Ah...the minds of the young! We older folks will just dread the start of another year. It will mean we have to make contingencies for the new year. It is interesting to see parents make all sorts of plans for their children for the coming year. As for me, though Christina is now married, i still have some plans in my mind. At the moment, the coming addition of a new member to the family circle is in my uppermost mind. I realized that eventhough i had a western type of education and influence, in many aspects, i am still very chinese in my thinking. I guess this is the legacy my parents left me...to take care of the family. This trait is already ingrained in me that i can't change much. Many a time, i wish i could change but i simply can't because it is like forsaking my duties....and this is not good for my conscience.
Today, i am also going to meet one of my morning walk croonies for breakfast. She has migrated to the city of Kuala Lumpur but miss us too much. So she comes back to Teluk Intan quite often to do her shopping of fish and chicken and to meet up with her friends of which i am one of them. I know we will be talking about her new life in the city and also about her granddaughter. ....
