one of strangest moment happened to me just a hour or so ago..
i came back from running, while doing cool down, i was watching tv(standing behind dad). it was showin mindee ong doing volunteery work in taiwan..
she went to a home, and it was this old mischievous lady that caught her attention.. taking her temperature and helping her for health check.. she fidget and refuse to get a proper temperature check, acting like a kid.. a widow since young she bear 8 child, 4 which pass away, the rest only visit her occasionally(rather/might be even less then annually).. abandon her at home.
when mindee ong asked her "are you happy? -with your life (in mandarin)". she laugh and answered "YES". but when mindee persist, urge to understand more, asking about her child. she remain silence and tears filled her eyes to the brim..
it's only when mindee quickly reponse, to her reaction, saying "it's okay.. you got us................."
she grab mindee into her arms and hug her like her's, breaking into tears..
me behind my dad, was already wiping away, i can't differentiate tears or sweat.. quickly.. i went to take a bath(i know i might cry like baby if i continues watching.. haha)
i remind myself that while this world progressess, i'll keep my roots down deep.. it's only when ur anchors are plant down deep, then u ride the waves that hits you time and time again..
the old lady acts like a underage when she hugs mindee.. but it was this pure and innocent actions that let me felt, i just need to refresh and go back to how i faced this world when i was a kid.. not being fearful to try and anticipating every single seconds that is coming..
i'll need to do some reflecting................................
