after watching money no enough 2.

the movie is powerful
it really stimulated my crying nerve.
the death of the mother.
it was only after the show, then i realised how much ah ma has done.
small little actions to show her love for us.
Even up in heaven, she still sends us her blessing.

This makes me reflect on how much i have actually done for her?
It was never sufficient i guess..
and there is one regret that i have always lived with.
It is that one regret that i will live with forever.

Very often, I thought that as long as i study hard, and do well for my studies, she will be happy.
and studying hard was always in the name of not disappointing my ah ma.
but i comprehend something today..
No matter how well and how hard i study, it is for my own sake.
It is for my own happiness and future.
My ah ma is happy for me, cause i myself will be happy for my achievement.
My achievement is not for her. It isn't her glory
Even if i don't do well and not succeed in life, she will never look down on me or disown me.
This is how great her love is.

Here is a song by Jay Chou:
(the lyrics are really meaningful.)

Grandma (Wai po) - Jay Chou

今天是外婆生日 我换上复古西装 载着外婆开着拉风的古董车兜兜兜风
   车里放着她的最爱 找回属于是她的年代
   往大稻埕码头开去 把所有和外公的往事静静回忆
   外婆她脸上的涟漪 美丽但藏不住压抑 失去了爱情只盼望亲情 弥补回应
   大人们以为出门之前桌上放六百就算是孝敬
   一天到晚拼了命 赚钱少了关怀有什么意义

*外婆她的期待 慢慢变成无奈 大人们始终不明白
 她要的是陪伴 而不是六百块 比你给的还简单

#外婆她的无奈 无法变成期待 只有爱才能够明白
 走在淡水河畔 听着她的最爱 把温暖放回口袋

(女)记得去年外婆的生日 表哥带我和外婆参加 她最最重视的颁奖典礼
(周)结果却拿不到半个奖 不知该笑不笑 我对着镜头傻笑 只觉得自己可笑
(周)我难过 (合)却不是因为没得奖而难过
(周)我失落 (合)是因为看到外婆失落而失落
(女)大人们根本不能体会 表哥他的用心 好像随他们高兴就可以彻底的否定
(周)否定我的作品 决定在于心情 想坚持风格他们却觉得还欧颗
   没惊喜没有改变 我已经听了三年 我告诉外婆 我没输 不需要改变
(女)表哥说
(合)不要觉得可惜 这只是一场游戏 只要外婆觉得好听 那才是一种鼓励
(周)外婆露出了笑容说她以我为荣 浅浅的笑容 就让我感到比得奖它还要光荣

Repeat *

外婆她的无奈无法期待 有爱才能够明白
走在河畔听着最爱 把温暖放口袋
