Grandpa is the person who has raised up all his 13 children. As what I know, he cares about his children as much as he can, even when his children has their own families. He is a great father.
BIAS, well 13 children, i do not know how to judge that.
Grandpa is the person who sent my cousins and I to primary schools in the early morning and fetched us home in the noon for 6 years. When we were in Primary 1 and 2, he would always wait for us at the main entrance to bring us to the car. Sometimes, if it were raining, he would bring the umbrella. When we grew older, we became naughty. We ran towards the car without umbrella when it was raining. And by the time we reached the car, we were WET. Then he started scolding! 'x'
When grandpa got angry, he used to say: TONG TEK PUN NGI! Meaning to kill you! When I was little, I always cant understand why he likes to say KILL the cat or dog when they were making alot of noise. OOpps..It is abit violent, but i believe the environment that has shaped him. He has gone true the war (maybe he was still a child that time) and also the history that we learned from our textbook. Basically it is about communist, war and japanese. So, when I grow older, I can understand why he used to say kill when something happen. It is a way to assure them that they are safe and does not mean that they really want to kill.
Although there is no SPECIAL touching story / little secret between grandpa and me, respect+strange is the memories that I have with me. Strangeness, I wonder does it exist in all the relationships between grandparents and grandchildren?
He passed away on 16th March 2006, this is an entry especially dedicated to him.

Ya, it is sad even if we KNOW the fact that each and everyone of us will leave one day. For those who have left, we remember all the happy moments that we had have spent together. For us who are living, we should cherish every moment in our lives.
Glad to share your memory with grandpa during the last few months of his life. =)
