Dear Linda...

Dear Linda,
How are you? And how are things with Grandpa? Im sure both you and Grandpa have lots to talk about. Haha. I started missing you the second after you left. It's amazing huh how we couldn't communicate with each other that well and yet find so much love for each other.


Often when we sit beside each other you'll start speaking "Hokkian", i've always wanted to tell you more but im real sorry i can't speak "Hokkian". Maybe now you can find a English-speaking friend who can translate this for ya. Hahaha. I remember when i was young me and the gang were always the troublemakers of the entire Ooi Family. Haha. But yet you were always happy to see us. Climbing roofs and messing up the house, held lil singing and dancing concerts each year... Those were the days...

So maybe now i can share more with you. My English name is Zenneth Ooi Tek Yang, but most people call me Zen. Im 20 years old, i love travelling, blogging, sight-seeing, clubbing ( Sorry! ), and Music. Im a person who is afraid of the world, afraid of everything... but i am also a person who is always fighting my fears and pushing my limits. I don't want to be afraid anymore. I enjoy life studying in Malacca and have lots of friends that i love. Oh and there's a wonderful girl i met that i wanted you to meet. But maybe now isn't the best time. She sent her love and regards to you too. She's the one who always forces me to go to classses and do my homework.. sighsss..

Other than that i have a band that i love being a part of it very much, we don't see each other so much but i think of them as brothers. And i enjoy my time playing music with them. We wrote songs of our own and are doing our recordings lately. But er.. i don't think they're your kind of music though. I think you'll probably cover your ears if you listened to it. Hahahaha.

Well, I am very lucky to be a part of the family. Dad is a very capable and honorable man. Mum is always responsible and thoughtful. Yen is doing well, and she might be going overseas after her internship. But you don't have to worry about her Grandma, she's a really smart and independent girl and is able to handle her life well. May will be continuing her studies in Malacca with me, she's very pure and kind. She's funny without trying to be. Haha. And both Yen and May always attract Indian macha's, Wei, Min, Yi and i have not found the answer to that yet. Wei is doing well with his job, and he brings laughter to us always. And Min is also well doing his studies, he's also another joker in the family. He is independent and very caring. Yi as usual is always cheeky and pure at heart. You'll find him always dancing around the house without his shirt on. Hahaha. I love all their company.

My dear Grandma,
Sharing all these with you makes me feel really happy and excited, but there are still some things that i have not told you yet in all these years. And i regret not saying it while you were still here...


Firstly,
If you found out about the nickname "Linda" we gave you... SORRY! I guess we are not very used to the Hokkien stuff while sms'ing. So instead of typing "Ahma House" we'll just use "Linda's Crib"...


Second,
I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I love You I Love You I Love YOu I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I love You I Love You I Love YOu I Love You I Love YOu I Love You I Love You I Loooovveeeeee YoOooOOUuuuUu!!!!


And Lastly,
You're 96 years old and have 4 generations under you. And You're the cutest 96 years old women i have ever met. Eating ice-cream's and ordering KFC's... Sighs.. Im gonna miss you Grandma... I wrote this letter, with tears, and a smile... I'll see you again when i pass on to the after life. And i will keep my promise to you and Grandpa, that i'll make you proud. And i will do so. Take care Grandma Linda, send my warmest regards to Grandpa too. I love you. Cheers!

Your's sincerely with love,
Zenneth Ooi Tek Yang ^_^

A Letter To Love

Dear Love,

I’ve wondered for days, what you are… They say you’re a feeling that is magical, that there are no words powerful enough to describe you… That you have the power to change a man. Is that really true?


I’ve wondered for months, what does it feel like… Some say you’re sweet, some say you’re painful, some… never had the chance to have you… So which one are you?

I’ve wondered for years, when will I have you… Boy was I a foolish lost kid, head strong and rebellious. I’ve been through so much unpleasant times that I started to think that there is no such thing as love in this world…But that was until the day I truly met you…

As I grew more, I met someone special along in my journey. And That special person made me realized, that you were always by my side, and that it was me being ignorant and too protective over myself, that I refused to let love in.

My Dear Beloved,

The reason I’ writing this to you, is to declare… that I found you, I found love. And you are… my family, my true friends, and that special person. I never thought I would amount to much, that I would mean anything to this world… But you, you showed me a whole new world, and made me realized that life ain’t that bad after all… That there is still something worth fighting for…

I wish my parents knew that I love them more day by day. That I’m sorry I was such trouble. But I’m changing, I want to go the distance…

I wish my friends knew that I’m sincere to those who are sincere to our friendship. That true friends do not come from how much pathetic jokes and silly conversations we had, but how much good and bad times we’ve been through together…

I wish that special person knew that I too have you for her. That the obstacles that are trying to stop us, just are testing our love… They make our love stronger. And that if we’re truly meant to be together, I trust time and fate will bring us there. I chose to be a BadBoy, and for that I will make the sky and everything with it… as dark as void… So you can shine like the star you are in the silent clear dark sky in my world.

Now I know why whenever I’m with my family, my true friends, and her, I feel so care-free and happy… It is because whenever I see them… I see love…

Please tell them that for me, thankyou love…
Your’s sincerely,
Zenneth Ooi
