uhhh I was tearing up when you ended your video with your narration. That is true. I always thought my parents and my grandparents were always going to be the same. But when I see them getting older, it makes me emotional and sad:( I should spend more time with them! Weylie, I love your video and have a good one:)

[@heyycynthie]

I came here to say the same thing. 😢

[@pamdiaz4038]

My eyes were sweating too !

[@ongpamela18]

Yes, I tot our family members especially our Gramps, Parents, Siblings & Loved ones will always be here for us forever but not until the first death hit me at 14 years of age when my Grandpa passed on....then only did it hit me that life is short and now that my parents & brother have aged...that I've learnt that it's time for us Children to take care of them & not take for granted our every day. 😭🙏

[@nicolehyc]

Me too! 🥹

[@thaon.4696]

My heart was so so full, and my eyes got teary watching this entire vlog. This is possibly by far my top favorite vlog of yours!! It makes me so happy to see you having such a close relationship with your grandparents as well as having such a wholesome and touching family trip to Hawaii ❤ would love to see more blogs like this!

[@sophiachang]

I didn't want this to end! 🥺 I'm glad you guys had a great time!!

[@beyourlightco]

As someone who didn’t grow up close to their Cantonese/Chinese side because I never felt welcomed as a girl, whenever you do Chinese vlogs is heals my inner child a little. I held on so much resentment for knowing I wasn’t liked as much for being a girl when my brothers were favorited but as I grow older (I’m 27 now with a 8 month old!) I have been trying to learn more about the culture and surround myself more in it so my son can know all aspects of his heritage. Not just the sides I preferred growing up. Please never stop making the Cantonese and mandarin vlogs!!

[@annang88]

The ending made me cry 😢 I've lost all of my grandparents already and it's amazing to see you go on trips with your grandparents. It's something I wished to do but never got a chance. I lost both of my grandmas in the same year a couple years ago and it was the hardest year of my life. Definitely have to cherish your grandparents when there still well ❤

[@kikoun920]

好開心聽到廣東話❤希望公公婆婆一直都身體健康！

[@nggigi22]

Love your Cantonese interactions with your family!

[@vee7579]

Your grandparents are the cutest. What a dream to have love like that.

[@morgs88133]

I called my porpor right after watching this 😭 she was saying how her and her friends are getting less and less mobile. I need to cherish the time I have with her more

[@strawbebbies202]

The ending narration was so beautiful 😭 I remember feeling the exact same way. My grandparents used to be my primary caretakers when I was small and now I’m the one driving my grandpa around and taking him places. My only regret is that I couldn’t drive my grandma around more and spend more time with her. She passed away suddenly in 2020 and I was so devastated. I moved back in with my grandpa to take care of him and it’s been a blessing being able to see him everyday and taking him around to places. (My canto is even getting better now!) It was so nice seeing all these beautiful moments with your family all smiling ❤ every time I see my grandpa laugh and smile super big it makes me so happy too 🥹 Also I cracked up seeing your grandpa in his pjs! My grandpa has the SAME pjs and I’m convinced every Chinese grandpa has that same one 😂

[@ricebunnies29]

My grandma just passed away last month and watching the interactions with your grandparents reminded of how she used to take my brother and I grocery shopping in Chinatown when we were little 🥹 I miss her so much

[@Laurie_Chin]

Hi Weylie! I was the one who came up and said hi to you at Island Vintage Coffee! Sorry I was so awkward, uncaffeinated, and makeup-less, but I was just so starstruck to meet you & Wah in the flesh! 多謝 for being so kind regardless and asking me what my good side was (a true girl's girl!) 😂 I'm glad you had a great time showing your grandparents around Oahu! My grandparents on both sides of my family have both passed on, but we shared SO many good memories in Honolulu together, so it was so nice to see you document & create memories you'll remember forever ❤

[@liwesley3393]

My name is Weylie

[@stephko8312]

Thank you for sharing your family. I miss my parents and grandma, they all passed away. I’m so sad.

[@linduhxmuhree]

When you grow up, just don’t forget about me. 😭❤ Your relationship with your grandparents is beautiful.

[@lotysblossom]

aww loved wah holding grandma’s new purse for her

[@MsAnjalimnair]

Your grandparents are so cute🥰 I lost my grandpa a month ago so this made me very emotional. My grandpa had a cute relationship with my husband so seeing Wah attentively listening to your grandfather was so wholesome. Cherish these moments and spend as much time together as possible. Thank you for sharing this video with us❤

[@vgh332]

Your grandparents are so cute esp your grandma talking abt the deal she found in Ross- hahaha love it!!!! Your mom is so pretty btw. I totally see your face in hers

[@lss.1271]

I HAVE MISSED YOUR VLOGSSSSSSSSS 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@DC-um7lr]

You’re videos always make me want to live another day. You’re truly inspiring. I love watching your videos whether it be about camping, family, or self. 🙂

[@emmaw796]

Thank you so much for sharing this Weylie! I've been a long time watcher of your channel (over 10 yrs now) and seeing you and your family come together made me so emotional. It really reminded me of my own family - we are Cantonese New Zealand immigrants (us kids were born here) and my eldest aunty was the one who raised us while my mum and dad worked in a takeaway shop. It's my dream to bring my aunty overseas, to show her the world and give back the love and support that she gave us while we were growing up. My aunty is now in an aged home and I can't help but feel like time is running out - you've inspired me to make more of an effort to give back to her. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video with us

[@liwesley3393]

My name is Weylie

[@smitishakya2299]

Ur grandparents look lovely and kind ppl. 😄😄

[@liamoua9192]

I’ve never met my grandparents and was always envious of people who grew up with their grandparents. My grandparents from my dad side passed way before I was born and my grandparents from my mother side, I never got to visit because they were still in Laos. My grandmother recently passed away and one of my biggest goal was to save enough money for me and my mom to go visit her this year for the new year. I saved just enough $ just a month after she passed and felt so devastated that I couldn’t bring my mom to see her mother and for me to finally meet my grandmother and take her shopping like this. This vlog made me feel so much love and happy to you still have your grandparents to go on trips with. Thank you for sharing this heartwarming video ❤

[@joannelee1585]

Yooo this vlog made me wanna cry happy tears and call my family 😭❤️

[@puchunful]

Your grandparents are ADORBS. It's inspiring how much they dote on each other. Grow-old-goals! Hah.... this makes me miss my own grandparents. They've all since passed on.

[@annafanng]

I got so emotional watching this! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful priceless moment you had with your family in Hawaii! Family means everything 💖

[@st8j3]

Your mom can pass as your sister! No joke! 😊

[@startist2]

I would give anything to have my grandparents back. I’m teary eyed just watching this 🥹

[@annalisewong8646]

I LOVE these videos, please keep making Cantonese videos they are so fun :)

[@savgomezz]

man the ending brought me to tears. i try to spend as much time as i can with my grandparents bc i know they won’t be around forever. i know that even a simple phone call a day means the world to them. i surprised my native hawaiian grandpa with a trip to hawaii for his 91st bday last year. this brought back so many memories ❤️

[@dianalee441]

Love this! Grandparents are the best 🥰 I miss mine dearly. Enjoy as much time as you have with them now.

[@hawnair6624]

I wish I knew you were here!!! Would love to have shared best places, foods, etc. - get you OUT of expensive Waikiki!!! Wished you visited our Chinatown! There’s nothing more special to us Asians than our ancestors & grands ❤❤❤

[@Joice818]

Love this vlog 💛💛💛 The ending narration made me tear up. I miss my 爺爺 (he passed away suddenly many years ago in Guangzhou and I didn’t even get a chance to see him). Til this day, I can never hold back my tears when I think of him. Your grandparents are sooo adorable, especially when your grandpa was looking for grandma to share the ice cream with her.

[@akiramiyashi]

Most of my grandparents passed when I was young or lived far away... didn't really had a chance to get to know them. Definitely cherish them while you can.

[@saumeiauyeung]

Thank you Weylie for sharinf ur family with us. I totally understand about spending more time with family. I love spending time with my family especially my mom, they are my energizer. Life is short, and we have to take it all in when we are with family and friends. ❤

[@Midami422]

Awwww! I love these family vlogs. They are so much fun! 3 generations of happiness.

[@sunshineher]

Your grandparents' relationship is sooo sweet and tender. 🥹🤎

[@sydneeeeeychan]

I miss my grandparents so much 😭

[@danny.padilla]

Thank you and please thank your family for allowing us to follow along on y’all’s family Vaca, it was so fun to see!!

[@user-sf6uj1fr7d]

So sad I missed you and Wah while I was there! Hope you had an amazing trip :)

[@lifewithstaph]

The red hairy fruits are Rambutans. Lychees are red skin and bumpy, but no hairs. Longans have tan skins. I love longans the most.

[@PearlMoss]

You mum and your grandma are both so youthful and beautiful. Amazing!

[@TiffanyTsanOnYoutube]

crying because when i was a kid, i, too, thought my popo would always stay 55 years old 🥹

[@vyvyensay]

I love how much laughter and and giggles there are when everyone is together ❤

[@lebre.]

Super unexpected tears in the end. Thank you for letting us in and reminding us to cherish the time left.♥️

[@adeFriedBrainCells]

Omg I love adult family trips esp with grandparents... these trips leave such lasting memories... I feel as adults we truly understand and treasure time spent with our family... we'd fight less just to create these wonderful moments together. Love yall!! ❤

[@ulricha123]

Loved the vlog❤

[@CheyenneTrac]

not me feeling bittersweet for you guys when you parted ways at the end 😭when you asked your grandma about her first time at the beach, and while she was so happy to be there - i couldnt help but also feel shattered to hear it knowing many asian immigrants spent so much of their time trying to make it in america and never had the time or energy to go do fun things. so glad your family can show them that side

[@corinalam]

Currently my life feels like such a huge rush to get to where I want to be. But lately I've been learning to sit back and really enjoy those moments with my loved ones and your narration at the end really captured that for me. I also grew up in a Chinese American family, and I haven't had a lot of time to visit my grandparents as much as I would want. Definitely a good reminder for me to really spend that time with them before it's too late. Love your vlog Weylie, and thank you for sharing this slice of life with us!

[@roselynromero2252]

Omg I met Wencie through Key Club in high school!!! Haha small world! Love your content, Weylie 💗

[@raydivine]

I love how you show up for your family and friends weylie, this was a beautiful vlog with lots of beautiful memories, thank you for sharing.

[@ryanw1282]

[@bridamiano4328]

Idk what it is about this video, but I see so much of your mommy & grandma in you!! + You holding grandma’s hand out shopping 🥺🥹 my grandma is my bestie too- forever grateful to have such a special bond with her 🩷🩷

[@limedaiquiri]

I lost my Cantonese grandpa in 2015 and he wore those same pajamas 😭 I’m convinced all canto grandparents are so similar.

[@newleaf_22]

Love this Vlog so much ~♥️

[@freshyx3]

[@JP-ww8su]

LOVE THIS WEYLIE they were so happy and you have such a special relationship with them. Unfortunately both my grandmas have passed but I want to spend more time with my grandpa while he’s still here. Thank you so much for sharing this bc I felt like I saw myself and my family in this video too. You’re my favorite KZbinr Weylie and you’re so inspiring, beautiful, and just YOU 🫶🏼

[@itsaboutfam]

My wife is Chinese Cantonese and oddly enough I don't really understand much Cantonese but am familiar with some of the phrases and phonics. Seeing your family interacting reminded me when my wife's mom was still alive and the lively, happy, and fun conversations they would have. It looked like an amazing time...thanks for sharing. The food though🤤

[@maixeevang4447]

I was basically smiling throughout this whole vlog. Love watching your family ❤️

[@erickabae]

Just smiling throughout the video, Weylie. Hehe. I love you so much!! Your energy and Wah's ❤

[@harryfall3500]

this is so wholesome to watch what a beautiful family

[@nicoletan4355]

I was there with my mum just last week

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

YESSS, this video was so wholesome and sweet 🥹❤️🙏🏼 loved every minute of this! thank you weylie for sharing this with us.

[@SeeKaysee]

This was so incredibly wholesome to watch and the ending made me tear up :')♥

[@malvaviscoo]

What a cute vlog!!! ❤ Thank you for taking us with you and your family 🥰

[@alicezingiber7122]

Hi Weylie! I love your videos with your family. Whenever you speak Cantonese to your family I feel like we’re a family too. I’ve followed for many years and I am from China. Here in China. It has had great changes for the past decades and hopefully you’ll be able to comeback here with your grandparents and witness their childhood places as you wished at the end of your video. ❤❤❤

[@emjayslife]

you’re making us all cry and long for time with our grandparents😭 thank you for sharing such a precious time with us

[@sxndraxmo]

my grandparents just left to spend some time at home in China and this was so comforting to watch, thank you for sharing 🥹🫶🏻🥰

[@TheFreakkyMe]

awwhhh i love this weylie.

[@lil.ikuraa]

Weylie (and Wah) 💖 I would trip out if I saw you here on O‘ahu. I remember wanting to go your meet up at the beach but my mom wouldn’t let me go. I saw a few classmates that went to your meetup and made appearances in your video on WahlieTV. I hope your sister enjoys living here! This was so wholesome and heartwarming so thank you for sharing some of these precious moments. I felt similarly with my Aunty and while she’s no longer here physically, I still bring her spirit with me when I travel or experience new things that I know she’d enjoy too. I love my grandpa and also thought he’d stay the same age as I grew older. It’s been challenging to see us both grow older but it only makes me more grateful to love someone and be loved by someone so special. Thanks for giving me this moment to reflect.. 🥰

[@freyja9911]

heart is full 💕

[@odyssey6994]

“If we were home we would fry them” lmao I have never connected so much to this!! That’s something my mom would say too lol

[@xojenchickxo1]

Literally one of my favorite videos from your channel, so sweet. Family time is the best :)

[@ttnln]

I cried near the end 😭😭your grandparents are the cutest!!!

[@TheSunnyScenery]

all the feels 🥺🥲 loved this video so much

[@ATARINLUV22]

Your grandparents are so cute, and the end made me cry! It is so true that we forget our loved ones are aging as we grow up. I still think some of my family members are in their 50s (like when I was a child), but they are now close to 80, and it breaks my heart to know time is so limited... what a beautiful vlog! sending much love to you and your family

[@user-ht5po1vy4t]

Beautiful family vlog!! You're so blessed to have such a loving family! I was teary eyed watching this entire vlog, I wish the very best for your grandparents and hope you can take them on many more trips.

[@jodizzle322]

I'm only 3 minutes in the video and i can't stop smiling!! This video is already so wholesome! Love from Oahu

[@KyubinSlay]

Not me crying at the end!!! I just visited with my grandparents as well and I hold those memories so dear to my heart. Your grandparents are PRECIOUS! 🩷🩷🩷

[@SamFournier]

This was a beautiful video Weylie, so nice to see you and your family spending quality time with one another. Memories to last a lifetime.

[@dallasparrish5189]

WEYLIE!!!! This was so well done. I was tearing up at the end and I love seeing your family so much ❤

[@audreyfranklynn9680]

Thanks for sharing your grandparent's with us Weylie! 🥰 I've always longed for my grandparent's to be a part of my life. My maternal grandmother passed when I was nine months old, 32 years ago. I wish I had the opportunity to spoil my grandmother now, like she did for me the first nine months of my life. 🤎✨

[@annamota9]

The whole video was beautiful
