Mums Coming Home

Mum is likely to come back tomorrow from hospital. I don't know how they work..at first I said that I will be able to take a few days off to take care of her at home for about a week. And then, they suggested sending her to AMK community hospital for therapy so that she can regain back her strength after the operation. And then now, they kinda argued saying they didn't say they want to send her there but I said I wanted to coz of my difficulty of taking leaves. What the hey..so I was just being up frank lah that sure, the case manager didn't say she wanted to send her there but someone else obviously told her that. Why don't you just say that since they saw my mum capable of walking herself, though with some support, and able to get up and down slowly from bed, in other words she is rather independent, they don't want to send her there instead of citing my 'difficulty' of taking leave in order to take care of her. And also because the daily charges at that community hospital is rather high going at $130 per day and the waiting list is rather long. Don't say it's because I had difficulty taking leaves because it can be arranged. Sigh, blame it on the others.
 
Then, they said why I agreed for them to send her to AMK hospital at first and I said that well, at first she didn't seem capable enough and had so much difficulty but with each passing day, she got better. So now my final decision is to bring her back to my house. She asked if I have any other relative who can bring her back for at least a week and take care of her and I said I have but I would rather she come back home. The daily commute from work to hospital or from home to hospital is taking a toll on me and not forgetting when I come back home, I have to do the laundry and some simple house keeping. And oh, cooking for the monster at home too. I know Im contradicting myself but it's rather fun and in between, I can also play facebook. In the morning, I have to wake up a bit early and I am amazed at how many things I can do with a bit of time on my hands. Yes, that includes facebooking and watching short drama clips on youtube..heh. Im horrible.
 
Now my mum wants me to hire someone to help clean the house in case we have visitors. I hate to fork out money for something I can do though not very well...heh. Im pretty uptight with money because I would rather use the money to feed my family and buy groceries. But what can I do...
 
That aside, my mum's lab test results show that it's clear so she doesn't need any further follow ups like chemotherapy. Thank goodness. But my mum said that they will go for a second meeting and I don't know what sort of meeting is that. I hope it's nothing critical.
 
Tonight, I will do a final clean up at home like vacuuming and see if I can clean my room a bit too. Yes, and do laundry too :S
 
Hope everything will work out fine the next few days.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
