Childhood and my great Grandmom!

I don't think there are anyone to follow this blog now, because no new post, maybe. It doesn't matter. I wrote my childhood because I learnt some phrase verb about this topic, so I try it out.

I used to watch Dragon Ball Z all the time when I was a child, it is my favourite animation even now. It really takes me back. I had a lot of toys of Dragon Ball Z, figure, poster, cards...... I lot of good memories.
I was growing up in a 5 members family, my parents, younger brother and grandmom. We lived in a 7-storey building until I was in Form 2, I spent 14 years in the old building. It was a really old building without elevator and we lived on 7th floor. That means we had to climb up and down the stair at least once per day, it was a good exercise but it doesn't make me outstanding in sport at that time. However, it was a reason why my grandmom was so healthy that she could bring me up in her late 70s. She took care of me very well. I learnt doing all of the houses work from her. We went to "Yum Chai" in the morning for a hour, then we went to an outdoor wet market for grocery shopping, you can buy anythings you need in this market, meats, fishes, fruits, house ware, kitchen ware, clothes etc... you can find any daily commodities in this market, even now. I didn't shopping when I was in HK, but now I can't didn't it with anymore. At that time, her job was paying money, and my job was taking the grocery, she is very clever, she knew that where to get good beef, which shop sold nice BBQ pork, which is my favourite food, and I just followed her. During lunch time, She cooked lunch and we ate together in front of TV, it seems to be our side dish, even nowadays if I am in HK. I ate BBQ pork and she ate her salty fish, which could serve for 2 meals. I helped her to do the laundry as well. I can't remember when did I start to help her, she asked me to help her or I took the initiative to help. During Afternoon, she either watching TV or having a nap. At night, we were sharing same bedroom, I remember that she always woke up by my cough in the middle of night, around 3am, and she gave me hot water to drink, put on some Chinese herb oil( White Flower Oil, I still using it now. If you born in HK, you must know what it is) to relief my dry and contracting throat, as I have asthma(slightly) when I was young. She play an important role in my childhood, I'll never forget about her, she is a good grand mom, a competent grand mom who you can't ask for more. I miss her.
