Instead of celebrating Mid Autumn Festival yesterday, my family had it on Saturday. As usual, I tried to invite my friends over, however my groups of friends usually consist of 3-4 people, something felt amiss as long as anyone couldn’t make it, so I did not manage to get anyone over this time round. Furthermore, it’s the mid term test period.
It’s was a nice, warm and cozy family gathering, with just my parents, godfather and brother. Along the whole street, only my house is lighted with lanterns and sparklers. I really like the traditional lanterns but nowadays, it is getting more difficult to find those. Luckily I still have some left, I’m going to keep them for my grandkids! Wahaha! As always we had our BBQ, food was good too! I like such gatherings, no need to entertain too many people, all of us chatting and enjoying the food. I really enjoyed it. Though it would have been nice if my friends turn up. Hee..
Yesterday was Mid Autumn Festival, my family was thinking of just spending it at home watching TV and all, when we got a call from my grandma in the evening, my grandpa has admitted to the hospital. We rushed to the hospital, we were all relieved to see my grandpa’s lying on the bed looking very alert and strong.
I’m not too sure about the story, but while crossing the road, a car turned into the wrong lane and he sounded the horn at my grandpa. The driver then started cursing and scolding my grandpa in the car. Being a very tiki person, my grandpa refused to walk away. The driver left the car and pushed my grandpa to the ground. After that my grandpa couldn’t walk as he was in pain. I think he had injured his tail bone.
Although my grandpa may be in the wrong for blocking the road, but it doesn’t give him the right to push my grandpa. He’s an old man, his bones are brittle! Now he’s in the hospital, he can’t even leave the bed. According to my grandpa, the driver is a young man, why so impatient young man? Now look what trouble you are in. There is a witness for this incident, his car plate number is also taken down. I’m sure my uncles and aunts won’t let this matter rest that easily, despite my grandpa saying he is willing to forgive him if he expresses his apology. You better be prepared for the worst young man. -_- (Wahaha.. I sound like an old lady here)

Hey, eh pai say know this came a bit late, but I think your grandpa should pursue the matter wor. That guy very bad, need to be taught a lesson. I would imagine him to be some uncivilized barbarian. Must be some overly educated kid, whom cares too much about making money and forgets about respect for the elderly. I hope your aunties and uncles go after him.
