KawaiiAfter a painstacking 5 hour journey from London to Manchester, I'm finally in the comforts of my aunt's place. I have to say, the trip felt a lot less than 5 hours but that's because of this amazing lady that I bumped into. She is the coolest Japanese grandma I have ever met (not that I've met any before her) Haha. But, seriously!
She almost missed the train. A few seconds after stepping on board, the train departed the station. She sat opposite to me since the seat wasn't occupied. Not long later, she started asking me questions. Her name's Taeko Morikawa and although her command of English wasn't excellent, we could still understand each other.
She's 68 years old and has 3 children and 3 granchildren. Her eldest grandson is my age and is fulfilling his dreams of being a professional hair stylist. AND AND.. she just graduated from college. How cool is that? Her age isn't holding her back at all. I really admire her bravery - travelling to a foreign country on her own! If I was her, I'd be scared out of my wits! It's so weird how we bonded so quickly. Within hours, she literally told me her life story.
She's so healthy as well. If I looked like her when I'm 68, I'd be over the moon. Because of engineering works, we had to change trains a couple of times and when we were waiting she took the opportunity to exercise! Haha. Taeko is so bubbly. louis vuitton handbags She took a picture of me on the train so I thought I'd return the favour. Look at the picture, she even posed with the peace sign! All in all, this was one intriguing train ride. I'll be in Manchester for a week. That means no more cooking and washing the dishes, what more can I ask for? Hehe
Good luck to Jances, Hui, Jingo and Hazim for their upcoming exams. You guys will do great!! I shall be nice and not rub in it your faces that my exams has ended. Tee hee hee. Toodles, for now.
p/s - To my wonderful, amazing, caring, lovable, huggable brother who bought me my A n F clothes from Florida. You know I love you =)
