watched the King's Speech today, awesome movie!
haven't really watched an English movie in a long time, was getting used to the commercialised Hollywood ones e.g. romantic comedies.
so the movie today was really refreshing (:
then went to visit my 叔公 and 姑婆, i.e. mom's uncle & aunt.
they're both quite old alr, but they have really clear and wise minds.
mom & mommy got to know so much about their childhood and family through chatting with them.
it was a touching moment when 姑婆 recognized both mom & mommy, despite her poor eyesight, and went on to tell them stuff about themselves that they didn't know about.
she had so many stories to tell, but before she could finish it was past the visiting hours alr and we had to leave! grr.
and 叔公 was so pleased when I proved that I could speak Hakka :D
as it turns out, their version of Hakka is a little different from what I've learnt from mom, and is the more kuazhang but 纯正 version.
but i guess they never really expected our generation to know Hakka at all.
sigh. I hope he gets well soon!
really want to get to know them better.
after all, they're both really really old alr.
and I really think that young people and working adults should spend more time with their older relatives. they really know a lot, so we shouldn't undermine their minds and memory. and through chatting with them we may find a lot of precious facts and wisdoms that would otherwise be lost when they pass away.
老人=宝. it's true.
