Well its nice to be back...partly influenced by my sister who keeps reading her friends' blogs and Syafiqah who asked me whether I had a blog of my own and has one herself. To make my long absence story short, I was simply lazy and felt a bit discouraged that people weren't reading my blog. But that shouldn't be the case right? You write for yourself, not for others.
Its the 3rd yr now...time just flew by. I'm really gonna miss poly. But I promise that I'll go back once in a while. So far, I've only felt attached to Ngee Ann Poly, not even Ngee Ann Sec. I guess I'm just closer to my friends in poly than I was with my sec sch friends.
Anyway, a lot of things have happened, but I'm only gonna write about one. And that being the issue of my grandmother. My family(meaning my mother), and me sometimes, have been taking care of my grandmother for about 4 yrs now. And I tell you, it is really mind-taxing. She's now wheelchair-bound. I really don't mind helping her get to one point of the house to the other, dressing her up, bathing her and helping her to the toilet. But the thing that I can only describe as "mental torture" is her incessant moans of self-pity.
It pains her leg when she has to stand and walk. So everytime she gets up to sit on the wheelchair or has to go to the toilet, she will begin her moaning. When I say everytime, I'm not exaggerating. Everyday alone is enough, but this is SEVERAL times a day. My mother has tried to advice her and told her to think of other people who are in a worse condition than hers. But it never registers. She will keep quiet for a while, and continue again. She's already senile. I don't want to write down what my grandmother says during her moans because I think it will be too rude. I know what everybody will say, "Be patient, after all, she's your grandmother, you should respect her". But before you all judge me, I just wanna say this, you are not in my position, so you have no idea what I'm going through.
Recently, my mother decided to get a maid for my grandmother because she's finally had it. We were gonna put my grandmother in my uncle's house(it's his responsibility in the first place but he couldn't take care of her due to MANY problems, which my mother says that can never be solved). BUT the whole plan failed because of the bunch of worthless and ungrateful pile of shit my mother has for siblings. They had to come up with $500 a month for the maid. My mother said that they should split the cost, $100 each. Well, NOBODY could pay or rather, to me DIDN'T wanna pay. It's just $100 A MONTH. We can afford $500 a month, but how can my mother just take that amount of money every month off my father's hard-earned money?
What pisses me off so much is that first, they didn't even bother to take care of my grandmother or even asked if my mother needed any help. They just took advantage of the fact that there's somebody taking care of their mother. Secondly, they didn't give her money for my grandmother's expenses like her medical check-ups. Thirdly, 2 of my mother's siblings who owe her lots of money still haven't paid up for yrs now.
I just really hate my uncles and aunties now. My mother really doesn't deserve them. She's really under a lot of stress without them making things worse for her. The only consolation that I can take is that at least my family's financial situation is better than all of them combined. I only wish for my mother's happiness.
