The Anniversary of a New Beginning

9th December is really a special day.
It's my 1 year anniversary with my dearest Asnida whose been by my side always despite all the ups and downs we had...
It's also my mother's birthday, i think of her always and i always pray that God helps clear her heart cos she's just feeling so negative about her life right now.
It's also the day i talked openly with my youngest sister and we shared problems and opinions about my family situation. I hope she feels better knowing that at least her own brother is there for her if she needs help.

Every good beginning needs a start, even if its a renewal from a troubled past.
I really wished i had more people i could seek support and help with, but it's probably my fault for not sharing this.

Crisis

After a month of separately talking to my mom and my dad; i feel that they will not be happy together.

However I feel that as children, we have been suffering in silence for many many years. Its not a good feeling when u know you cant rely on your parents for help or emergency situations. I read my youngest sister’s blog and i feel sad for her cos thats what i have been feeling. A sense of hopelessness and no one can help.

I feel that i need to reunite my siblings and we must stick together. We have to. I love each and everyone of my family members…and i wish this didnt happen, but its bound to happen cos its between my mom and dad. And we children just had no choice cos we have no money to secure ourselves.

We Need Help

Hmm my family has a problem recently. And I've been going through a lot of thought until i'm getting stressed.
I dont have anyone to talk or discuss about it except for Asnida. I don't even know how to express it out on my own blog.
 
My dad has told me that my uncle has caught an employee stealing money from my mother, which is probably the main reason why her business has not been making money for the past few months.
But that's not the bulk of the problem. My mom's behavior has gone rather strange. She's not been coming back home, and she hasn't sacked this employee. In fact she even asked my dad for money to loan out to this same employee who says that she's trying to feed her children in JB.
 
My instincts were sort of right when I sensed this family going downhill many years ago when my mom kept getting into huge debts from being cheated by people.
Now my mom is probably not thinking straight after all these years of problems. She could be using the money to rent a place since she doesnt like staying at home, or she could be influenced by this employee to help them financially by giving them loans etc.... my mom's weakness is her compassion. She pities people and trusts people too easily. My dad worries that she has another man and he's just worried this other man is a conman too.
 
My mom's only income is this current business of hers, and she will probably be depressed if she has to give it up.
But she's really not making the right decisions.
I had to help my dad make some decisions too cos my dad can only think logically most of the time and may fail to see some other underlying issues.
 
According to my dad my brother's disinterested about this matter, as usual.
 
I don't know, by right I should be stressed out to the max and be crying or feel like crying; because of the risk of my mom possibly committing suicide, or being trapped in some con's deal. And I have huge concerns on my mom's feelings about all these that's happening. She doesnt seem to want anyone involved.
I can't cry anymore because I have been going through this dysfunctional family for decades.
 
Its so hard to tell anyone, not even good friends. Where do I even start.
Where can I even seek help for my family.
Can you help me?

10 Months Anniversary

Yesterday marks the 10th month anniversary with me and Asnida. Every single day we spend time together...yet we still grow fonder of each other.
In actual truth, this would be the same month 1 year ago which i got to know her as a friend, and eventually met up with her one day.
I remember the day i met her. I was smsing her from work. I was still a new employee at McDelivery call centre. At the same time some female colleagues were making friends with me and invited me to join them to go out after work. To be friendly i said yes... but I told them i'm still reserving a date with Asnida.

Eventually Asnida replied and we met at Bugis where we were supposed to eat. But upon meeting she didnt want to. I was kind of dismayed cos i thought thats a sign that she doesnt quite like me, and she felt like going home or what. But then, she asked me if i wanted to watch a movie instead. So we watched 'Rec'....the foreign version of the movie'Quarantine'.
I then sent her home via cab.
At home, i kept smiling to myself.

I wanted to meet her again.
And so we did...
Till this very day

STOMP 2009

Yesterday I had a lovely date with Asnida and watched STOMP!. It was her first time in the Esplanade….She looked stunning with her blue halterneck… :P…..Unfortunately i was down with a fever and headache halfway through… Asnida took care of me on the way home. It was sweet because lately we’ve been having a few quarrels and mood swings. I guess its these tiny things that matter in the end :)

Emotion Less

Sometimes in a relationship, you have to remember to put your own feelings aside and take care of your lover’s feelings, even if it seems that she’s not showing them to you. There might be reasons unknown, and it’s not important for you to know those reasons immediately.

What’s important is to be there for each other, and don’t let those overwhelming feelings take over your emotions. I might not show it to everyone, but my emotions are rather strong, which makes me a rather sensitive person.

Anyway, I hope my baby dear gets well soon. Sometimes its hard to understand what she goes through when she has her down moods. I wish I can be in her mind and heart when she’s feeling down, so she knows that she’s not alone.

How Peace Looks Like

Here I am, with Asnida sleeping soundly beside me....
The feelings that i get from beholding her are of pure peace.
Do you feel that way when you look at someone sleeping?

The Rendezvous

Today Asnida put effort to go and visit my mom at her work place... My mom wanted to get to know her better.
Unfortunately I had work so i cant accompany as Asnida went right after her work.
She's never met anyone's mom 1 on 1 before...
 
My mom talked to her about our family and like what my mom went through to raise me and my siblings..... she rarely say such stuff unless to close relatives.
I guess my mom wants her to accept my family as it is...
My dad sent them both home later, and i was glad my dad could joke around with Asnida....as usually he is awkward around strangers.
 
I hope one day my family can meet her family

Impromptu Visit

Today me and Asnida's family went to shop at Mustafa Centre in the afternoon...
After that i suggested an impromptu visit to my mom's workplace which is at a coffeeshop nearby..
I havent been there before to eat...and my mom was kind of shocked but she treated us to a lot of dishes....
She was too busy to talk much;
I hope I can meet my mom to her parents formally one day

Graduation 2009

im angry with my dad.; he hid my graduation gown cos he thinks i'm going without him. I guess he managed to spoil every single education milestone of mine including this final one.

i'm just saddened that he thinks i'm as selfish as him. This graduation ceremony may not be important to me, cos I didn't want to go in the first place.
But the reason I wanted to go is that i feel that it's important for people who want to see me graduate, which includes my parents. Unfortunately he has spoilt his chance for that with his act.

I felt like not going yesterday cos I was tired from overtime at work. And also my mom and girlfriend can't go.

I just felt like trying the gown on this morning and go with my dad.
But i was just upset when he hid it, and he thinks im lying. He said the gown is bought with his money so he has the right to hide it.

I didn't go anyway cos by the time he revealed where it was, its already too late.

Tiredddd

Today I got to sit down and answer calls from the crisis helpline.
I got my first suicide case today; and im proud of myself for managing to listen and advice the lady to change her mind and give her life one more chance while we find a way to help with her problems. It didnt really matter that I had to overtime anyway.
 
I'm so beat after work because after my shift ended, i tried out for the IMH soccer team for the upcoming competition, and ended up playing street soccer till 8pm. By the time i bathed and finished doing my overtime work, it was already 10pm.
I reached home at 1130 and i was so stoned.
 
Tomorrow's my graduation ceremony. My mom's not going, and asnida's not going.
I feel a little sad cos these are the two whom I want them to see me graduate.
I felt like not going.
We'll see how tomorrow when I wake up.

A Month's Worth

I've almost 'disappeared' for about a month. Well, not really... I was just having a mixture of being busy/tired + lazy to write down events.
I've been spending my time with Asnida to calm my stressful head, and spend our days simply by talking, joking around, watching tv shows or dvds at her house or play with her nephews. Also, ever since jco donuts opened in Tampines we'd stop by there once in a while when I have money.
Also, i spend most of my time in Facebook playing Mafia Wars, Restaurant City, Farmville, Yoville, Happy Farm, Scrabble, Crime Empires, Pets Society and Crime Empires from my laptop. I think my PC is kinda jealous as I rarely even touch it....let alone the action-packed 3D games I used to play.
 
Basically i've been a financially tight spot the last few months and have been applying for many jobs. My phone line has been cut off and i'm using a prepaid card for the time being. I've also graduated from NUS but with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. It's only a pass degree and not a merit. I didn't get my honours cos i didnt want to extend one more semester. Also, I purposely failed all the modules in the last semester because I was too stressed up to study. So I'm still happy with the Pass degree.
 
A few days ago I have been accepted to work as a counsellor in IMH. The pay is not too bad, but its not as high as civil sevices pay. But i've always wanted to work at IMH ever since i took up psychology in NUS. I start work on 1st July.
 
My parents have bought over my mom's workplace, which is a coffeeshop stall near Farrer Park MRT. So they are now running a business which has a few startup problems. I worry about this, but I believe in due time it would be fine.

Twenty Five

Possible a third or a quarter of my life is gone under singapore's education system.
It's really tiring, considering the weird life i've been through.
But i was happy yesterday. I was spending it with the family of my loved one...surrounded with food, happy little kids who enjoy climbing up my back...(now i have a back ache cos of that), and smiling faces.
Secretly i was wishing my own family could have been there too, on my 25th birthday.
Maybe they don't remember.
But i'll always remember them and my birthday wish every year is for wealth, fortune, safety and happiness to befall each one of them in the future.

Some Private Thoughts

I was out the other day with Asnida, when i received from one of my relatives. She said that her dad stopped breathing and is in hospital.
I replied calmly that my mom wasn't at home and i'll tell her about it. But inside my heart i was worried. I havent seen my relatives for very long, yet I just saw her dad the other day at the interchange. He looked pretty healthy and fine.
Since my mother was nowhere to be found, I decided to visit them in the hospital with Asnida.
 
I came with a smile but after seeing my cousins' distraught faces, i felt sad inside for them.
I wouldn't know what to do if both my parents were ill and passed away. My cousins were united even though they were busy with their own lives. I find that really special and important in a family.
My siblings and I are all in our own worlds. We dont even talk with each other unless necessary. Most of them don't really care about the future of the family or even care about their own house. I wonder if they even care about their own family. If my parents were to pass away; I think we would all be in a state of topsy turvy even though we are all no longer young children.
Seeing my relatives today made me wonder very worryingly about the future of my family.
But i'll still remain optimistic.
 
My uncle is breathing again but he's not in a good state according to my relatives.
But my optimistic self just tells me he'll be fine. I don't know why.

Red Eye versus Green Eye versus Blue Eye

I wonder if i'm right to feel uncomfy when my gf's colleague calls her darling even though he knows she's attached.
Cos as a guy I know i wouldnt wouldnt call an attached girl dear or darling, unless i have something else in mind and i want to flirt with her.
I'm not jealous cos i  trust her.
I'm just freaking pissed at the cheek of the guy. Especially to call my gf when she's with me and call her darling.
I'll punch his face if that happens in front of me.
 
Although, i know i have a tendency to be protective over my loved one; something about me which i dont quite like.
I wonder if i could find a guy who is not upset over another guy calling his girlfriend dear.
I'd like to meet that guy and ask him how he does it.
