the maid went back home and it's not until 2 months later that the new one will come. well, a few of my previous maids had been going back hometown for 2 months during the year end holiday...and yeah, that's the point. during the holidays. which means housechores are useful to kill time during the long break. but now it's not. it's the freaking two months where i have assignments piling up and finals coming in a month's time.
but i'll have to face it sonner or later. i dont want to be so miserable in some corner of my future house/apartment/hostel in UK all alone (that's if Ke Hui has decided to go to Leeds instead of Cardiff)...not knowing how to cook, wash, repair blah blah blah....okay, i know i have always not learnt to be independent...
so now it's the time to do so! i can foresee the moments of cooking(not too hard for me), washing clothes and cleaning the toilets(nooooOOOooOOooOoo)....oh well...if other people can do it, why cant i riteeee
on another note, parents have decided to send my 87-year-old bedridden grandma to the nursing home. most people, including me, would think that sending your parents to nursing home(quite similar to old folks home) is an act of not showing filial piety towards your parents... but coming back to reality, she seriously needs professional care... she's practically left with skins and bones now(totally no sign of fats)...probably not more than 30kg??... and she's barely able to sit steadily, let alone standing and walking...worst thing is, she cant control her bowel movements hence shitting all over the place(i'm serious...)... and if she continues to just lie on the bed day and night, which will most probably lead to bed soar...things will become worst...which wouldnt bring any benefit to any of us...
soooo after rounds of discussions... dad, mom and i went for nursing-home-hopping this afternoon... finally found a suitable one after visiting 4 homes....hope she's happy to stay there...although i believe most elderlies wont enjoy staying somewhere away from their family...
sorry if the description sounds boring... i just wanna say that grandma, we will always love you no matter where you are...you're always our beloved grandma^^... i hope you understand that the decision made is intended to bring you good health and happiness....
i asked my parents if...i mean if they are happy when one fine day they're old and frail that i've decided to send them to nursing homes...they said they'd even go there by themselves even when i didnt ask them to go...oh my...this is speechless...
but i promise...dad and mom, i'll try my very best to take care of you when u're old as long as i exist in this world...
p.s. love your parents. love your grandparents too.
