Bubu rawks! I love bubu.
Well, bubu's actually my Shanghainese grandmother. Went over to her place today and well, she's doing okay. And she was all smiles when we came (meaning that we really don't visit her enough that each visit becomes "special") which shouldn't be the case, but nonetheless, i was happy to see her too. And as much as there's not a lot of communication between us, i'm just comforted to know she loves me, by putting lots of food in front of me and asking me if i want this or that. There's really nothing like a mother, and a grandmother's love.
With my limited mandarin, i try to tell her things about me. I want her to know that she's still very much a part of my life. And did i mention her smoked chicken's awesome? Deelicious!
Ok, more updates on my bubu after new year.
Anyway, had duty yesterday, and i watched this vcd called "The Way Home". It's in Korean, but with english and mandarin subtitles. The story's about this city boy who visits his mute grandmother for the first time, who lives in a rural village. The show is slow-moving and touching. It's just awesome to see how the boy who at first hated his grandmother, ended up loving her and caring for her. It's truly an awesome flik! I recommend it to anyone who wants an artistic film that's oozing with meaning. I give it 5 popcorns.
Neways, kept thinking today was Friday, but sigh, it's thursday. But today wasn't actually such a bad day, unlike other days in camp. I've been fairly stressed and all, but i just don't often show it. I think that eversince i tried to control my temper and emotions, i ended up bottling it up instead. I dunno. But i'm fine, really.
happy new year folks...
