No more drama, a lesson from grandma

MY paternal grandma left a huge impact on my life. She taught me a very valuable lesson. Come to think of it, it’s probably one which she never planned to impress upon me. Born Mas Binti Mentol (literally means gold daughter of lightbulb) my granny was quite a character. Unfortunately for her, my grandmother lost her hearing following a high fever at a very young age.

Perhaps it is because of that Tok Mas, as she’s fondly referred to by her grandchildren, became a real drama queen. Wherever she went drama followed. Looking back I think she behaved the way she did because she didn’t know any better. I guess creating dramas was her only way of controlling a situation. The way I see it, she must have done it out of fear or insecurity.
