At The Hospital....

Don't be alarmed, I'm at the hospital right now, but I am not the patient.  Its the mother-in-law.  Actually she checked herself in about a week ago to discover that she has stomach ulcers.

Well, that's what she thought, but its not the case, actually, we don't know what the problem is, so she have been at the hospital this week having various checks made on her.

Its kind of strange, she seems alright, considering she makes a trip back home everyday by herself (the hospital is just around the corner), so we're all stumped on what's actually wrong with her.

I'm at the hospital now, hoping that she goes to sleep.  She made several calls tonight back home saying she is scared since the person in the next bed has checked out of the hospital.  Not sure what she is scared off, its a hospital at the end of the day...maybe she has done something bad, so is afraid to sleep on her own.

The thing is what annoys me is I am doing this out of charity. OK, OK, she's my mother-in-law and I should show that I care, but for those who know me and the current "family" life I have with the in-laws, well...need I say more?

What gets me is the sister-in-law, always making up damn excuses and thinking she is the poor relation.  For Jesus H. Christ, this is your mother!  Can't she even come and spend a couple of hours with her owm mother?  I know she is not the best mother in the whole world, but still blood relative.  Why can't she even do some things for her own mother?

She is such a selfish person and complains too much (this is coming from me, who can complain for Britain), and I don't know what she has to complain.  She has a job which pays reasonbly, and out of her pay, she doesn't contribute to the housing and food bills, so she basically keeps all her money to herself.  She's lazy too.  Every weekend, its me who goes and buy the lunch and dinner.  She just sits there and waits for the food to be delivered.  I don't even know what to say anymore.  She just...argh...I don't know.  Just tired...

And now, because of her lack of compassion for her own mother, I am now here at the hospital listening the mother-in-law's speeches....sigh.  People think I'm samaritan, but I'm not to be honest, I am just as selfish as the next person, but still, is it really that difficult to be nice to one another and show a bit of compassion?

Its been a while since I wrote anything on here...had a lot of things to deal with and think about.  I try not to put negative stuff on here as much as possible, but, such as life.  Sorry for making my post a bit crappy.  I hope it gets better soon.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a great start to the New Year.

Cheers!

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Its been a while!

Hey all, sorry, had been away for so long.  Sometimes have so many things going on and so many thoughts, not sure what to write. Life update is that we've moved out of the in-laws place, and renting an apartment in the city.  It's not brand new. No lifts, and we live on the top floor, but it's my home now. Just recently been in hospital for stomach ulcers causing internal bleeding.  Nightmare, when you wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 4 days.  But I'm back home now, but only this morning, I discovered I now have a gout attack.  FML. Anyway, life continues to surprise or annoy me in new and fascinating ways. Mimi is still with us by the way, always staying loyal and guarding. Until next time.

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
