My grandfather is one of the most important people in my upbringing. He is always pessimistic about what I have done, be it good or no good. It really impacted me a lot in this area, as it made known to me that what we got to do when we realized our mistake. It is not to remember and get overwhelmed by the mistake; instead we should learn from it and do the right things to make things work.

As I grew older in age, I remembered that we would actually meet up every week at my Grandfather’s house for fellowship and to grow closer. We would have something like a reunion dinner, whereby all my cousins, uncles, aunties and other relatives would get together at a huge dining table for food. It was always very meaningful; as it was the only time in a week I have the chance to dine with my family and of cause my relatives.

Unfortunately for my grandfather, his spouse, who is my grandmother, got a terminal disease. She was infected with lung cancer. It was amazing that she was still able to survive five years after the infection of the disease. After my grandmother passed away, we seldom met up during the week end. Our relationship also drifted apart.

I remembered that my grandfather was the most upset and sad person even at the funeral of my grandmother. Since he carried the great attitude of pessimistic, he persevered through it and began his life as a new chapter to everything. To make things better, we would actually meet up weekly to travel to Malaysia for dinner and to shop for stuffs.

Besides learning the importance of being resilient, I also learned something from my grandfather. It is to treasure or cherish whatever we have in life, whether is it useful or useless; we might need it in our life. We cannot judge on things based on short term planning but on a long term basis.

Although my grandfather is very old in age right now, I still look up to him as someone really inspiring and someone I respect the most. Even in his age, he could be rather independent. He could travel alone and know all the bus services in Singapore very well and he is a great driver, which knows the road very well.
