I absolutely adore my grandparents. They've been there for me for 25 (going 26) years, and I've always hoped that I could one day place their great grandchild into their arms. But unless I could pop a kid out in within half a year's time, I don't think that small wish of mine will be possible. Hmm.
The other day when my grandpa was at the hospital, I asked him in hokkien, "Ah Gong, when you were young, you liked photography right?"
He said, "Yeahh"
"Now I like photography too", I told him.
He said, "Good!" and he gave me a thumbs up :)
My grandpa gave me my very first camera. And I still remember vividly the day he bought it for me. During 2005's Chinese New Year, he rang me up and told me he wants to take me shopping (he always 'ajak' my brother and I to go shopping with him, he's that cool, my Ah Gong). He brought me to Bangsar Shopping Center, and walked into a camera shop, and bought me a Canon Ixus 30.
I can't remember if I told him I wanted a camera, but knowing my Ah Gong, he just loves buying things for us spontaneously. To be very honest, my passion for photography really did start from the moment I had that Canon Ixus 30. Now that I think of it, maybe it was his way of encouraging me into photography. If it is, it worked huh Ah Gong :D
Anyway, since the pop-kid-within-6-months plan obviously wouldn't work out. My only wish now is that, when the time comes, I hope my grandparents will move on in total peace and comfort.
That's all I ask for.
