[ The Yogurt Place ]

I guess I couldn't wait any longer to get my next dose of yogurt from The Yogurt Place. Heading to Downtown East seemed to be a bit troublesome. Thank goodness for Google :) Googled I did and hurray, there's other outlets in town :P This time, I went to the branch @ Carrefour Suntec City and tried out Almond Nut Flavour while he stick to Greek Flavour aka The Plain Original one. Hmmm...yummy, delicious and most importantly a healthy dessert! For Real Yogurt, Real Stuff, Go To The Yogurt Place! Try it! You will not be disappointed, trust me! Hey, I think I can qualify to work there eh?

[ Drama ]

I'm sitting here, working from home and at same time babysitting gran. She's sleeping and I hope she'll remain sleeping so that I can continue to do my work in peace. Mom went out for a while to do some errand. I sound like a bad grand-daughter? Sometimes, I guess. Today her behaviour wasn't as bad as yesterday. What happened yesterday?

The drama started when I heard her peeing on the living room floor yesterday's morning. At that time, mom went out to market. I grew even more upset when she acted nothing wrong and even wanted to drag herself to the bathroom thus creating urine-infested trail on the floor. She was very very very stubborn. The more I scolded her, the more stubborn she became. It came to a point that I had to pull her to get into the bathroom to cebok and shower cos she somehow decided not to go the bathroom and went back to her sleeping place. She claimed she already cebok. For someone who's old, she's sure as strong as besi. When I tried to pull her, she held on very tightly to the chair, shouted on top of her lungs like a tarzan, and at one time fought me, scratched my arm and left a deep cut. Serves me right, huh? Even my younger brother could not make her move into the bathroom. In the end, we left her sitting in the kitchen, bottomless with no kain and pampers. She only went into the bathroom, 1/2hr later after mom came back and managed to get her to shower. It was the worst and most stressful experience I ever had in taking care of my grandmother, though it only lasted for 1hr. Ok, mom's back now and she's nagging at my gran. My dear gran is now half-naked ~ she somehow managed to remove her kain batik and pampers soundlessly while I'm blogging. Aiyooo...

P.S. Thanks Herda for your virtual shoulder to cry on yesterday :)

[ E!hub @ Downtown East ]

Enough of bad entries. After catching The Dark Knight (fantastic movie, highly recommended cos Christian Bale so handsome!), I decided that it's time to pay a visit to the newly opened E!hub located @ Downtown East. It was pretty late by the time we reached there. Having read the pamphlet last time, I know exactly where's the first place I will head to the moment I stepped in here. I will definitely head down again to tour the whole place. So, what did I do at E!hub today? Catch them at my Multiply *smiles*

[ Bad Start ]

The day started bad today. Mom slipped and fell on the urine gran left on the floor early this morning. While mom cried in pain, gran peacefully (and purposely I'm sure cos she's a light sleeper) slept and ignored the whole situation. We found out that she removed her pampers and somehow managed to pee on the living room floor unnoticed. We were all frustrated at that moment, but I think mom must be the most frustrated and stressful one cos she blurted out that she'll end up die first before gran's turn and couldn't figure out why gran didn't die till now. We are our wits end and I just don't know what else can we do? To make things worst, I somehow managed to break the ceramic figurines in my rush to get to work. My brother, who also got awoken with the whole hu-ha, moped and helped to clean all the mess (including mine) silently.

SIGH......

[ My Most Boring Sunday ]



I managed to snap this cat, a recent addition to the family. Called Putih, the way it cover its eyes to shield the daylight make me wonder how similar it look compared to a human behaviour. He's very manja with everyone in the family, especially with my dad. He has his mood swings though, but most of the time pretty obedient and quiet.

The day been VERY boring. I did washing, a bit ironing, clear some work emails, replied 2 sms from him (he didn't seem to be bothered about how I'm doing today, oh well...), cleaning the floor everytime the gran dragged her buttocks on it, booked some appointments that hopefully could relieve some of the stress that I'm having now and most of the time keeping a watchful eye on the wanderer of the house.

It's now more than 12 hours and I still have another 4 or 5 hours before mom reached home. I've showered gran, cleaned her up when she peed and passed motion as well as cooked dinner for her. And she's starting her mood swings now. Insisting to change her sleeping places to my room, dad's room and even the kitchen! She keep dragging herself to the kitchen to ask for a cup of water when the water is nearby her sleeping place and she did this more than 5 times! When I told her, no, it didn't seem to trigger her. I had to raise my voice and scold her. She did not like and retaliated by trying to grab umbrella and the heavy tall chair to try hitting me with it. Gee...no wonder mom kept losing her cool. I can't even take a nap or shower, cos if I do, she will start to wander around and touched things. Hmmmph!! I hope my elder brother come soon, so that I can take my shower. The younger brother is hopeless, only know to eat, shower, sleep and put on his 24-hour black face. He can't even bothered to help. I don't know how he still managed to stay alive till today with his anti-social behaviour. I know I know. It's bad of me airing the dirty laundry. Like I say, I'm sick, sick, sick!! Arrgghh!!!

[ Upset ]

I was upset cos my weekends had to be to spent babysitting grandmother. I had very long weekdays at work this week and was really looking forward to recharge myself over weekends. I know the circumstances is unavoidable, but it left me very frustrated. It became worst when he's not there with me. I thought he would have put his priorities on me and be there when I needed him the most. I never felt so alone dealing with this frustrating situation. But I have to also sadly acknowledged that he's not my husband, I have no right to demand that "rights".

The plan was initially for grandmother to move to uncle's place cos mom had booked herself a one-day Malaysia trip. Dad's away for outstation. Then it turned out, my uncle got so sick that he had to be hospitalized and be operated yesterday. I know I shouldn't be petty. But I'm just sick that it's only left to my uncle and mom to take care of grandmother. Her other 2 children seemed to just ignore her existence.

I hope the weekends will end very soon. I have no mood to go through it. I also hope the grandmother will not decide to be difficult and stubborn today. Cos if she is, she's really gonna test my patience. This is one weekend that I wouldn't mind passing!!

[ Benefit ]

The first time I came to know about Benefit was when I read the weekly Urban. There's so much hype given to it and today, as I passed by its newly opened counter at Robinsons, I couldn't hold my curiousity any longer.



I grabbed the booklet and was soon pouring over its details. I was again sold. There were several products that caught my attention, but in the end, I decided to just try Dr Feel Good. Let's see how good it'll turn out, shall we?
