Wow. I woke up at 8.30am today cause Laobu say need me to follow her meet some relatives, my late grandfather's brother. I didn't really know him at first but he seemed so like my grandfather. We all call him Atok Odin. From what I know, he has been taking good care of my family ever since god-knows-when. Me, the Mother, him and his wife. We all chatted about life. Reminiscing how it used to be last time with my grandfather. Few tears were shed. It was really unexpected when I saw Atok crying when he talked about how my grandfather was always there for him. It was hard for him, I realised. He and my grandfather were that close, so close. I couldn't hold back my tears. I miss my grandfather too. Mother cried too. We talked about some property money thing to be divided among the family. We talked about work, school, education and the future. It felt as if I've known Atok for a long time. He told me to study hard and be like the Mother. Well, the part being like the Mother, I don't really know but coming from Atok, he made it all seem that I really need to do something about it, about myself. The Mother told Atok that the brother wants to be a chef. Atok suggested that the brother go to Switzerland to pursue his dreams. The Mother said that the brother really wants to be a chef so she will support him all the way. Then I was wondering, what about me? She doesn't support me. She doesn't support my desicion on my future career. I felt like as if she kinda lied to Atok, I don't know. And then I found out that the Mother was top 10% for O Levels and she was eligible for Hwa Chong JC but Atok told her to go for Raffles JC as it was still new. I also found out that due to the Mother's bloody excellent results for Chinese, she didn't even need to take Chinese in her A's or O's. It was something like that, I can't really remember. Sorry, I can't be like the Mother. Then we said our goodbyes. I was really deep in thought after that. Me and Mother headed to Raffles Hospital's Banquet for lunch. Then we wentto Bugis Junction to walk around. The bra I wanted wasn't there anymore. Hurhur. Then went to Wallet Shop and was looking at the wallets I was eyeing on yesterday with Jin. AndI remembered the Mother saying I needed a real wallet not like the purple sequin one! Haha! So I was deciding which wallet to choose out of 3 or 4. Sadly, I ditched the purple one. I bought a black one! Whee! Costs 26 bucks. The Mother suggested I pay 10 bucks and she pay the rest. Thanks Mother. So yeah now I got a new wallet. Yay! And then Mother sent me back home and she went out to do some business which I can't be bothered with lah. Haha! So yah, right now I'm trying to go take a nap cause I woke up fucking early just now but I couldn't so that's why I'm blogging. Haha! Ok lah. Chao!
