TGIF...

Thank God it’s FRIDAY. I normally commute via the LRT train to work. However, recently, I have noticed the BIG crowd. It gets bigger by the day, especially in the mornings. I would be lucky if I can get a seat. Not getting a seat is normal these days, but having almost all trains packed like sardine cans is bad. I guess I have to get used to having the tiny winy spot right in front of the door… This is hard work you know squeezing myself in that spot when I am not tiny myself. Haha! Believe me, I have mastered various skills while LRT-ing, skills like sleeping while standing, balancing myself without holding anything. May be I should consider a change of career path, like joining the circus with the balancing act. ;D I am pretty sure that every time there is a hike in oil price, the crowd gets bigger. I can never understand the local transportation scene in Malaysia. Oh well, I hope it improves. I am just tired of complaining as it sucks all the energy out of me.

I hope to visit my aunt at my arwah nenek’s house in Ulu Langat tomorrow. She is currently recuperating from a severe heart attack and pneumonia she had last month. The after effect of the heart attack is pretty bad. She is very weak, not able to walk or even talk much. My other aunt is there to take care of her as for her children?? Hmm, I have nothing much to say, in fact I am speechless. It is sad to note that she has four children who are all very grown up, married with kids and none of them are there for her every single night to ensure she gets the tender love and care she desperately needs. They are happy to pass their responsibilities to an aunt and probably just come over and help during weekends or on public holidays. I wonder, where is their sense of responsibility, love or conscience??? To think of it, they are mothers and fathers themselves, how would they not know the need to be with their sick parent. Well I am not perfect either, but I surely know that when I am sick, I would not want to be alone. In fact when both my parents were sick and warded, I remembered how depressed my parents were and how we siblings had to pull it through together no matter how difficult it was. So, I can understand if my aunt needs all the attention she can get.

Hmm, I have seen scenarios like this in movies but seeing it from my cousins, definitely very disappointing. Like they say, a mother can endure life and raise her many kids, but for the kids to take care of one mother, it might be difficult.

**Sigh****
