Got a "date" with my grandma today.. Parents went to a wedding dinner so Grandma asked me out for dinner. Initially.. she wanted to eat KFC. Yes.. NOT me.. But my grandma WANTED KFC.. She said she didn't eat that for a long time already. But I think it was supposed to be 3 months ago la.. Because the last time I brought her there was during my 3rd sem holiday..

Anyway we didn't had KFC for dinner.. Because when we arrive there (730pm - "buka puasa" time) it was so packed with people that there was no place to sit. So we got no choice but to change our dinner place. Went to Hoover Coffee House. Once a very popular Western restaurant back in my father's days.. Still remember Grandpa always bring me there when I was young. That was almost fifteen years ago.. That's also how long he had left us..

The restaurant is famous for its Chicken Chop. So whenever my family and I went there, we will only order Chicken Chop. So me and Granny ordered 2 Chicken Chops and 1 fried noodle. Yup.. TWO people eating THREE people food.. My granny can eat more than you can imagine. Hehe. The chicken chop is not small.. Bigger than what you get at HB3 Western Stall. For non-MMU readers, just imagine that it is BIG la.. Hehe. Paiseh a..

The great thing about this dinner is that you seldom see a young guy (21 years) and an old lady (80 years) eating together. Just the two of them. Also, my granny can still eat so much consider she is so old already. For your info, she can still talk louder than me! Up until she was 76 years old.. She can still drive around town to go play mahjong at her friend's house. She is indeed.. KUAT I should say..

During dinner we had small talks about.. Virtually everything.. Gossip about her friends.. Our family news update.. My study.. Even my up-coming Penang trip as well.. ^.^ It was nice to have dinner with your granny and chat with her. Spent some quality time together. Considering that I don't have much time and chance now that I am studying in MMU.

After the dinner.. as we were walking to the car.. she asked me to hold her hand as she walked. She said she is now old.. Felt weak to walk.. Need someone to support her while walking. Then I realised that she is getting weaker as the years go by.. She is my only grandma left.. 2 grandpas and 1 granny is already in heaven.. Got some kind of special feeling during the 4 minutes slow walk.. So readers.. When you are in hometown.. pay your grandparents a visit to remind her that you care for her!

Oh ya.. while I was walking my granny.. suddenly Jay Chou's song, 外婆 popped into my head..

Love your family! (This message is brought to you by Hong's Little Diary Community Service)
