I wasnt really sure on who to draw until yesterday nite. My brother tag me a music video on Facebook months ago, i was browsing through his vidoe and thought of listening to that specific music video again. The lyric is something to do with Ah Ma (grandmother). On how the singer gone thru his life with his Ah Ma guidance.
I was very very emotional after watching that video yesterday, i actually cried as I miss her so much . She is now 80 years old and currently at my hometown in Kuching, Sarawak. The last time I went back was in November 2009.
That video inspired me to draw my own version of 'Ah Ma'.
My grandma is a person who I really respect, she is a very wise lady with lots of skills (cooking, medicine, sewing, parenting, spiritual) which i learnt alot from her.
She is also a very religious person. In this drawing I drew her with her beads which she use for prayer everyday.
Will meet her in November holiday again in Kuching.
I love you Ah Ma.
Enjoy your November holiday with your grandma.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the sweetest moment you could remember with your Ah MA?
ReplyDeleteIn This picture, which part you likes most?
What is the activity Ah Ma likes most?
when i am looking at this picture, i can feel that Ah Ma is a lady full with compassionate, and really "ci xiang". it reminds about my Ah Ma at hometown too. it's has been long time i didn't go back to visit her. thinking of go home more frequently
It seems to me your beloved grandma is still looking young even though she is 80 yr-old now! You have a deep impression of your grandma as a religious and faithful Buddhist and I think this part of her values seems to have some influence in the lives of people around her...like how you are influenced by her.
ReplyDeleteThe moment I looked at your grandma, I felt liked going towards her and she will give me a hug. She looked so wise.

ReplyDeleteThe sweetest moment - when she accompany me to sleep everynite when i was still very young. I insisted that she must face me when she sleep. Which usually she will sneak out to watch tv soon after i fall asleep!
Which Part I like the most - I love her face, she got a very calm face, everyone love her
What activity Ah Ma Likes most- Believing in her religion is part of her life, she did lots of prayer everyday, even till now at age 80!! Bowing up and down and i guess tat is why she is 80!! so much exercise and she is a vegetarian.
Yes Ah Ma is a very nice lady, full of love.Loved and respected by many people.

ReplyDeleteYes grandma is a very religious person.
She exposed us on what she believe, I will not be such a 'good girl' if it is not because of her.
She is my savior as i really hated my mum so much when i was younger. Another place for me to lean on even till now.

ReplyDeleteGrandma comes from a veyr poor family, being the eldest, there are so much that she need to help around and learn.
I guess that is why she got all those knowledge although she didnt really go to school.
She is good at cooking, craft, parenting, herbs,chinese cultures.
It is really amazing that she can actually read those characters on the prayer book without going to school during her young age.
Yes, she is a very wise person. we all learn alot from her.
ReplyDeleteSo, you see, how amazing she can read those characters, even though she didnt get the chance to go to school. She dont give up easily. its call encouragement. So, thats another foot step to follow.
