My 1st day of blogging

Been meaning to blog for ages but always have a ton of things to deter me. So there, I have finally done it. The main motivation this time is I wanted to have a platform to set aside some memories for my children and also for myself. As time passes by, I feel that somehow, my memories fades alittle. Little things that might not be important now could be important infomation later.

Eg: my younger sister has never met my paternal grandmother. My grandmother died before she was born. As the 1st born in the family, I have the love and attention of my grandparents. I always like going to their place. The only regret is I couldn't always go over as my mother never likes it when I go. She always will try to prevent my father from bringing me there. And there would always be quarrels after we come back. As a result, I could only see them during Chinese New Year. And occasionally when my mother allows it, they will come by. I remember my grandmother loves making paper roses. She will cut out the shapes she needs and twisted them into lifelike roses. I was fascinated with them. And had always asked her to teach me. She had promised but we never had enough time.

The next few weeks, my grandparent's niches are in the process of being moved to a new environment. I wanted to get some nice artificial flowers to put next to the niche. I spend a long time trying to decide what flowers looks best. I tried many combinations but it just doesn't seem right. I began asking myself what was her favourite flowers? I had completely forgotten it was roses! As I stand there wondering, I was starting to get fustrated. I chanced upon a beautiful pink rose and then it dawned on me. It was roses.

I told my sister about this. And in the process, I also starts to wander what other precious memories have I forgotten over the years? Hence the blog
