The bond between the lion befriender volunteer and the uncle is very touching actually
Matthew sounded mature for his age. All the four seniors and their grandson or grand daughter are all so heartwarning indeed.
One twosome is Uncle and volunteer. They spoke in Mandarin which is not understood by everyone.
I want to be like Josiah who always smiles when listening to his grandma and smile even when he talks 😊 It feels contagious.
When mathew told his grandpa to not die so early and to make it to see his wedding, it was exactly what I told my parents when I realized how fragile but strong life was after my grandmas funeral
Josiah is handsome. And Hamidah is beautiful.
Ikrrrr Hamidah is so pretty 😍
Josiah Leong - ❤️
Is this a beauty contest or what?
So?
@@rob3rt86 can you just shut up.
heart warming to see younger generation speaking dialects…
I just lost my grandma a couple of weeks ago, time is truly fleeting; let’s make the most of it
Josiah is such a sweet young man
All these relationships are so heartwarming
haha Matthew such a cool kid
I am a senior (76) living alone. I can relate to the content in this video.
The seniors being worried about being a burden makes me sad but this video is so sweet
Mathew is such a cute and adorable boy and really a good buddy to his grandfather. Good boy
I’m really close to my grandma, but because of the pandemic, I haven’t been able to go back to my hometown to see her. On a video call with her she just said “I miss your presence” so yep, this video reminded me of that and now I’m in tears. Thanks OGS! 😭🙏🏼💕
To the cute grandson : How older people learn is that you can't explain too much along the way. Eg. If your grandpa wants to learn a specific goal, like making a presentation, then list down modules
1) How to add more slides
2) How to add pictures and graphics
3) How to add change font, size, color, etc
Then list down exact things to press for EACH step. And don't introduce too many variables, options, features. They can learn more complexities along the way. Just teach them the FRAMEWORK and exact things to press. Grandpa can do a step-by-step screengrab manual of sorts to cement his learning. :)
Has nobody noticed Josiah's ears? Damn cool if you ask me. Also, his grandma is really cute.
Ogs back at it again w another banger of a vid…y’all are the goats man fr
This is so heartwarming - I’m very close to my grandparents as well and I’m really scared of the day they pass on 😢
This clip shows so much love , caring, warm feeling. . This makes the family bond goes stronger
A bitter sweet video. Thanks OGS !
Amazing vid!! Made me miss my grandparents (who have passed years ago) and wished I could hear more from them!
You guys never miss! Love your content.
Thank you for this video! Reminds me to be more mindful of our elderly parents, grandparents, and even friends. We need to be more patient, stop & pause for them to show assurance, care & love.
I'm so glad that somehow TH-cam brought me to your channel. Good content! Keep it up!
I love love this video! You guys always have great content! I appreciate the bond between the younger ones with the seniors and they're aware of how worthy the seniors were in their lives. My favorite part of the video was how Josiah reflected and realized that his actions and behavior could've been better towards spending time with his grandmother, because not everyone is able to self reflect and when they finally do, sometimes it may be too late.
It's good that these young people are very empathetic to their elder. The youngest kid is funny with his longevity comment. Great program!
Most wholesome video.
Matthew is so matured amd speaks so well..👍🏾 and kudos to all those who is in this video.all had contributed in their own ways..
So. Much. Feels.
very good~ thank you
I wish i have grandparents and can enjoy a conversation or relationship with them like this.
Nice content 💛 good to understand more deeply (the younger & the older ) way of thinking, because we (the young) will also grow old
Excellent program! 👍
Very good video. Keep it up!
My father (67) just died last months, and it pained me so much that he refused to go to the hospital. He just felt not well for 2 days before he's gone. Until this day I keep blaming myself for thinking that it was a usual sickness..
Well since I was 3 my father was diagnosed with diabetes, so as far as I can remember I know that my time with him won't be long. Now I'm 21 and it pained me that he'll never see me graduate (I'm on my 7 sem) and walk me down the aisle😭😭
My dad also passed on at age 67. He wouldn't be able to walk me down e aisle too
@@joanchoo9287 I feel you, it hurts so much🥲 may God gives your family strength over this🙏 don't worry I believe someday we can meet our loved one again😭❤❤
@@Ipaulina19 my dad passed on more than 10 yrs ago
Eric 70 (1951) and Matthew 12 (2009)
Juma 72 (1949) and Hamidah 24 (1997)
Wan Soo Moi 89 (1932) and Josiah 31 (1990)
Lee Kuang 85 (1936) and Hui Ling 24 (1997)
loved it. reminds me of my late dad...
I definitely believe ethnic upbringing is very important especially growing up in western countries, the values and wisdom the older generations can teach us is invaluable. I miss my grandma now :'(
So good to see the communication between diffetent generations to close the gap
I can feel so much love in the air. Always love to see the young generation connect with their grandparents ❤
I can see the fear of loneliness in their eyes 👀. 🤔.
How are you friend. Electrifying i find Glad you're on track 😆I can't compare. I found your channel unique. Watched till the end i did.
The fact that you are going to live your life knowing you are losing friends you made for life to something inevitable, is a very easy fear to comprehend.
This is beautiful 😭🥲💖🫶
Grandparents are amazing 💕
Made me miss my grandma soooo muchhh
Interesting points! Matthew and Eric seem like such a fun pair :-)
That hijabi girl is so sweet omg
As a primary caregiver, life is hard for me, taking care of ailing mother. Yes, it sounds awful but I hope my mother will pass on quickly, painlessly.
I miss my grandparents so much
dang time for me to cry
Grandpa Eric is so funny
juma is a queen yas go auntie she seems so lovely
Can there be a video discussing “ does social media nowadays toxic to you / effects of social media to you ”
Awww so heartwarming and cute thoo 😍
Matthew is so smart and funny kid... and very understanding of his grandfather even at his age where other schoolboys are so self centered
My grandmother, a great great grand mother, with hundreds of off springs, lived beyond 100 years old. None of them wants to take care of her. What's the point living so long?
Josiah is handsome and tall.The way he talk to his grandma is so gentle and look cute for me. It would be good if i can date someone like him.
Hi OGS,
we are a group of students from SMU doing an initiative to share untold stories of distinguished seniors (eg. Ms Elim Chew, Mdm Noor Aziza Ali) . The mission of our project resonates with the values of OGS, which is to erase the mindset of elderly being beneficiaries and promote youth volunteerism in society. Hence, we would like to propose a few ideas in our project titled, 50 over 50. It would mean the world to my group and I if you would be willing to hear our proposed ideas and possibly give effective feedback along the way as well. Thank you and hope to hear from you :)
To be honest... seeing the parents grow old is scary and is like u wish they will never have to grow old but it doesnt work tat way... staying away from family due to work n rarely talk to the fam. Sparing self from having to confront the pain of seeing them growing old. It's super scary. I starting to feel all this now. I know it's super selfish for me to behave such a way but i can't bear with it. Just the thought of it... i could die.
The tensions of being oneself relating to the other; the expressions of loving care that ensues between the gramps and youthful ones is tender and powerful; it is life itself. Thank you for giving us glimpses of you ...all of you.
Carry on in love and courage..for there is much the elder can pass on to the younger, and there is much life the younger gives by engaging the elder.
Josiah 😍
"bro" 😂
This is gonna make me cry I miss my family
Nice
why was the attempting suicide video removed :( would really like to watch it!
Eric's grandson so cute n intelligent boy
My fear of growing old is no one makes financial decisions for me since I have no kids.
Cute 😍 all! Great bonding!
I miss my ahma now 😢
I saw Josiah and the grandma so a tiktok on this lolz
Why don't just let Josiah's ahma speak Canto? l feel like she's much more comfortable with that than Chinese
anyway, this is out of topic. But Josiah is cute
Just 1:25 mins in and I'm 😭
i get it. my grandpa was soooooo surprised that my "good school" let "colored girls" in. it was the last thing i shared with him before he died that yes, i graduated from a good southern school who let black girls apply
Matthew is so cute!
i want a man like josiah
these videos always feel a bit like english oral
Mathew is such a sweet n thotful boy.....
Eric is damn cringy.
Boomers. Ugh.
