You know what sucks???PEOPLE!!! People i say…the past couple of days had not been good..I was really looking forward to the trip to Singapore with my family..I was really stoked about visiting the much hyped Universal Studio…the last time I ever been on a holiday was when I was still in primary school…imagine how long I’ve waited for this moment…aside from that, I also got to sit on a freaking airplane for the first time…i was chuffed to bits…so excited (kinda lame, I know) I was totally into the holidaying part, not the social visit part…my mom was looking forward to seeing her beloved big sister and her brothers….the visiting relatives part is not really my cup of tea…me and my cousins don’t really communicate, at all…..so, I drove to KL with my mom and bro on Thursday, leaving my grandparents under the care of the maid…then we fly to Singapore on Saturday afternoon…didn’t really have any time to do stuffs so just stay inside…then, on Sunday, we went to church in the morning…after that, went to visit my aunt and uncle in Woodlands (places in Singapore have really unusual names)…then we proceed to jalan-jalan cari makan..sat on the mrt all the way to Orchard Road…walk around, people watching…as we were on our way back to my aunt’s place, the phone rang…someone called to tell my mom that the damn maid is planning to run away…mom got really worried but there’s nothing she could do as we were so far away…so she started calling people to check on my grandma…then everything went quite for a while…went back for dinner…me and my bro watched football on the tele while my uncle brought my parents to catch a glimpse of F1 at his office….then, the dreaded phone rings again…this time my aunt from sitiawan called to inform us that the damn maid has run away for real….shit…the bad news kept on coming…maid ran,grandma cried,scared to be alone,mom got worried, cried even harder…I just stood there helplessly…those who know me, you should know that when it comes to comforting people, I’m the worst…shit…i mean what kind of human being would leave two old people alone, helpless….it didn’t help the fact that my grandpa was bedridden….so, with the help of some kind people back in Sitiawan, they managed to send my grandpa to the old folks home….aaaargh!!!!then, ‘good’ news kept on rolling in….my grandma fell and knocked her head which made my mom even more sad and inconsolable….i spend the whole night trying my very best to comfort my mom, i don’t think i was any help but I sure didn’t make it any worse…but then my dad has a knack for making things worse every time he opens his mouth..he’s full of ‘sh*t’…..my mom’s brothers and sister were also no help at all…they were all talk and no action….i also spend the whole night trying to book the earliest flight back to KL the next day…since it was really last minute, all the early morning flight was booked so we had to settle with the afternoon flight….then the next day, as we were preparing to go to the airport, the phone rang again….the flight got delayed for an hour…shit….then on the plane, the plane got delayed a few more minutes because of the weather….I’m like, come on!!! we managed to reach KL at about 5pm…then i drove all the way back to Sitiawan and we reached at almost 9pm..it was so freaking tiring….went to lodge a police report…well, that’s all the great misadventure that i get to ‘enjoy’…like they say, ‘shit happens’….my grandma has 5 children but only one has to do all the work while the rest just make phone calls…shit….the worse thing is seeing my mom sad…her kind of sad is not normal sad…it really breaks my heart…it also doesn’t help that she has some issues…anyway, I was abit disappointed at first but then i just move on…Universal Studio ain’t going anywhere…I’m just glad that my grandparents were fine and thank God for watching over them…moral of the story is don’t hire maid unless you’re really desperate….
