WTF
I just had a really crummy weekend. In fact, it was quite crummy in the beginning, but that was a different story all together. Then yesterday, I woke up to find my energizer rabbit in the kitchen.... She mentioned that the air con remotes of both her room and the mahjong room were out of battery.... Ok lor... change battery lor.... I changed hers without any problems, then went into the mahjong room.....??? WTF??? WTbloodyF!!!??? The flap that opens and closes when you turn on the power was hanging loose and there was a clothes peg clipped to it...... Ohhhhhh shhhiiiiittttttttt.......
I changed the batteries to the remote and...... ooohhhhhh shhhhiiiittttt.... the LCD was very faint and even no matter where or how I pressed, it would not activate the air con..... so I took the one from her room and turned the air con on and it made an aweful noise...... the flap was not attached to the motor anymore.... So conclusion of the whole thing.... 1)... She being old and her mahjong khakis being old, must have been cold and then they tried to wrangle the stupid flap and it got detached from the motor. Don't know if I need to do any major repairs or just to re-attach it. Then comes the remote.... I shook it and it sounded like the cha cha thingys that bands have..... So what does that mean??? It must have been dropped so many times that it decided it would not work anymore... I do admit that my remotes do drop on the floor and this happens quite a few times... But then the thing is... you must try to be careful not to drop it lor....
So now where the bloody F am I gonna find a spare remote??? I am not angry because I have to spend money... but I am angry because the energizer rabbit just has to take some more responsibility for her own self... I wanted to ask... but then in the end before she even came up with an excuse... I just cut her off and told her forget it lah.. she will either say she does not know or that it is some friend who did it... As a part owner of the house, she should feel a bit more concern man.....
So the question will be that she does not want to admit that she has a problem and when approached about it, she again gets defensive and offensive... So I will only say one thing.... She is really getting on my nerves....
And the sad thing is that the gahmen is doing nothing to help us who are helping these elderly folks... They claim that it will be a problem in 30 years.... uuuhhhh it is a problem now man..... And when they said people are living longer... they did not also say that the longer living ones are actually quite literally out of their minds..... And the thing is there is still no support facilities.... Geriatric Psychiatry is still a domain of the IMH..... yeah... you just mention Woodbridge and you will see that no matter how crazy the old one is... he or she will run even faster away and also claim that they are not crazy... It is not being crazy... it is just that they need support and also help in understanding the problems they are facing and also support as to how to face it... Imagine... losing all powers and abilities... It is a scary thing... but it happens when you are suffering from dementia. Where are the facilities for such old people to go even for the daytime and find a new reason for life? Where are the counsellors and so on who are required to help these people on their end of life journey. I am only saying that as a normal adult who needs to worry about my own family and also my parents who are aged and having a bit of mental problems. But if the support structure is not there and my parents slide further down the slope, then the only choice will be to send my energizer rabbit to a home.... I am serious..... In fact, just think about it... If she can unknowingly put things on shelves where they can be broken or break things just like that, then when my little samurai comes to Sillypore and lives with me, she will come and she will want to look after it... Though my wife will be here looking after it full time... what will happen if she offers to bath the child and she scalds the child?? "It was some green man who came from a space ship and did it".... or some other excuse... and when she is caught with the lie... she will again get deffensive and offensive....
Also she will insist that we are not being good parents and so on just because we will not spoil the kid... In the end.... we will have mayhem... and who do we blame???? Who can we blame???
