Haha.

Throughout the day, my grandmother complains about the loads of clothings there are that need to be washed and she sits on the couch with a sad look on her face and I feel so compelled to cheer her up by asking her if she wants me to cut some oranges for her or making her a cup of milo. I don't know why she looks so sad when she comes over to take care of us. She's so much happier when my family and I go over on weekends to my grandparents' home in USJ3. Which is why I feel a little guilty by going out the entire day and leaving her at home, leaving her feeling oh-so-bored. She doesn't even find TVB dramas interesting! 0_0. How could a chinese grandmother not find TVB dramas interesting?!!

My mum assigned us chores before she left for China and my brother was supposed to be in charge of the dishes. As always my brother will be addicted to his computer/play station and it'll take an hour the least for him to come down to settle the chore. You know how grandmothers are. They can't stand the sight of a mess. After 5 minutes without hearing my brother thudding down the stairs, my grandmother would proceed to the kitchen sink and do ALL the dishes. My brother would come down, feeling so guilty.. procrastination is the curse of our generation.

I'm also worried about my grandfather who is staying alone at home. He's got this lungs problem you see, and needs an oxygen concentrator-a machine that pumps a steady amount of purified oxygen into his nostrils. The night he was diagnosed with COPD(Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), I was just done with that chapter in my bio textbook. He's doing well, he is. Just that he needs that oxygen concentrator. He still drives around and buys us lunch for these few days. Just worried he might get another attack.

The first day my grandmother was here, my brother went out to Summit with his friends and I had exams in the afternoon. My grandparents are not used to the prominent absence of the two of us in the day. My grandfather called almost every hour to find out if my brother was back already. Everytime I answered the calls he would nag about how the brother shouldn't be going out so much as it's dangerous..bla bla bla. He appears at night with Ramli burgers for us and more oranges. Very nice of him, yes. But he insists I eat the Ramli burgers as soon as possible, right after a hearty dinner I just had. =\ Plus, the Ramli burgers were spicy. That's the thing with my grandfather, he loves us, yes, he buys us too much food. Very persistent that we eat it. ...

And that's why I am who I am today. *pokes stomach and heaves a sad sigh*

.. oops, I just thought that my Dad's tiger balm jar was my mouse.. Hahahaha..too used to my room's enviroment.

Even when I went swimming with esther and only came back about 7.30, after sky dark that is, my poor grandmother would be worried sick. Thank goodness I arrived before my grandfather or else I'd definitely get an earful from him. Honestly, his naggings are non-stop. He's nag you throughout your 8.00-10.30pm chinese serials.. he'd nag nag nag nag nag nag my grandmother abit, and my grandmother would give him a sour look, and then he'd change the topic to a lighter note ie. complaining about the government. 

I suppose they are just not used to seeing me and my brother with such liberation. Haha, but compared to many many years ago, they are pretty easy on me already. I remember when I was 3, I was not allowed to play with a girl from across the railway tracks(in Section 18, Petaling Jaya), because she had ticks in her hair. I was also not allowed to play with other kids in case they stole my toys. -_-". Very restricted. Then came the era of kidnapping children, this got both sets of grandparents worried sick. My maternal grandmother would follow me around when I ride my bicycle around my neighbourhood when I was in primary school. -_-".

Maybe I'm just too fat and she can't see the lines.:) Maybe the hidden lines represents my secret lovers. Yes, yes..That must be it! And then suddenly, the night before my wedding(which would ideally be before 28..maximum 30la..) a deep line suddenly appears where that damn love line should appear and my one true love will be known to the entire world and we would live happily ever after with my good will power and my 'saved up money'. ..... Ok, that's pretty unrealistic. I mean HOW logic is it for me to invite ALL my family and friends a day before my wedding?! Tsk tsk.

She also told me that my temper is quite okay, not as bad as my dad's and my Aunty Susie's apparently. Hmm. The Lai Family Temper is peculiar in the sense that we blow up in full fury and within an hour we are happily gossiping again. Maybe I don't inherit that bit. Not too sure how the Ho Family's Temperament is like. Ho is my Mum's side. I know that when I am pissed, I'll make sure it's known if I know that the person won't bite me back. But like I said before in my toilet musings, I am usually the first to beg for forgiveness. I think my brother inherited the Lai Family Temper.

Back to the main point that got me musing. Hm. I shall make sure I can find the perfect man who I can live with for all eternity. Ok, that sounds down right sad. But the search has begun since I was 5 years old. Preyed on innocent males across jars of gums and baskets of crayons. I especially felt 'happy' whenever they bullied me ie. throwing my stuff on the floor. I've grasped the theory of how boys bully girls they like from a tender age. Kuat perasan more like. hahaha. Don't worry kids, that trait of mine died in my early secondary school days.

I must get married. I shall prove my Aunty Margeret wrong. Muahahaha. Anybody for marriage?
