Black Saturday

Saturday, 1 Sept 07

I was dragged out from bed first by the 3.5year old, followed by MOTH.
MOTH said, "Wake up, it's 9.30am. We have to head out to the movie soon".

The poor me dragged myself to the bathroom and finally took a glimpse at the clock. Gosh, it was only 8AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The movie is not till 11.10am. I hate this guy! I swore I could have murdered him.

So as you can see I wasn't in the best mood. We headed off to Marina Square, roamed around abit coz we were too early. I heard May (our helper) sniffing a little and clearing her throat. When we were at the pharmacy, she bought a pack of lozenges. I decided to "question" if she had been taking her medication.

Guess what???

She said "M'am, I only take the medication once at night."

Boy, I was mad. I hit the roof and started "###@#@#@#@#@#" at her. Don't worry guys. I didn't swear. I meant to say I gave her a piece of my mind for not taking her medication. The 3.5yr old looked at me and asked "Mummy, why are you scolding Auntie May?"

So I asked the 3.5yr old, "If you are sick and you don't take your medication even though it's good for you, will Mummy get angry with you?" She nodded her head.

So guys, I am not getting angry without a valid reason. If May is sick, she should take her medication with the proper dosage. I am tired of her coming to me complaining about her aches and pains every other day. If she's not taking care of herself, then she should stop dumping her grouses to me.

Ps. The medication which I gave her is our good old "Pi Pa Gao" that doesn't cause drowsiness.

Pss. I'm hitting the roof coz I've been sick for the past 1 week due to cough and cold and I've been struggling to be present at work. I'm also on medication since June due to my constant UTI. There's no one I can dump my grouses to. The moment I arrived home (without even having the chance to put down my bag), May starts "whining" and "complaining" about her day and it can go on (sometimes), up to the point when we are having our dinner. I empathise her but I think she must learn to choose the right moment to air her frustrations. Eg: over the weekend or after our dinner...

Psss. I was thinking if I would drive my BOSS to commit suicide if I was going to his office daily (every morning before he even puts his brief case down) & whine? Actually, I was thinking of sending May to work in my office supporting a team of 18 persons.
