21 MAY 2006 - HOUSE

Due to those “nocturnal” activity last nite, I wake up at 12 pm today. Fortunately for me, my mum is not that nagging kind-o-type of mother. Feelin’ kinda weird on realizing the fact that I’m still hanging out in my family’s place, huh? And knowing the fact that I’m a 25 years old brat kinda adding in those goose bumps thingy for sure.....

“That’s a cheap way for not doing any laundries cleanin’ or getting involved in all sort of payment for the house bills,” you might say. That’s true but sad to say that I do gave my family a little amount of money every month, folks. I paid for the Astro bills, my grandma’s diapers (obviously, she’s an old lady who’s not that strong in making that frequent visits to the loo everyday), gave some pocket money to my 7 nieces and nephews, and yup, I do contribute in the payment of the house bills.

“So why do you still hangin’ in there?” you asked. Well, I have an older brother who’s married to a beautiful Jitra, Kedah girl and decided to start his own family away from my parents’ crib (I’m using an MTV’s slang again, darn!!!). My first elder sister got married but due to some unforeseen circumstances, she decided to get a divorce and now she’s a single mother with a strong will of survival continuing her life working as a kindergarten teacher and at the same time raising her one and only daughter. I do admit that she’s a remarkably one hardcore independent woman. I’ve never seen that huge amount of overflowing strength in any other human before, not even me. My second elder sister got married too and now she’s truly enjoying her life with her 3 children in Klang.

Kinda predicting that my elder sister and her beloved granddaughter will be left alone once she died, my “seemingly-mrs.-tarot-card-reader” mother asked me to promise her in staying at that house for a while until I got married myself. At least, there’s a man beside my father (he’s over 70 years old anyway, in case you’re wondering just how old he truly is. So, stop guessing!!!) that can be dependable on lookin’ after the wellbeing of those ladies of the house.

I don’t mind stayin’ there, for sure!!! My mum is a wonderful cook and by the way, I’m still single…..still in that search mode…..and still missing Ivy’s presence a lot…..
