holidays to me are anime/ manga marathons, more piano/ violin practice, less music listening time on the bus.... i think i seriously have no life....

to my mum it's less housework for her because i help out with the house work... and yes... as long as i do my share of extra housework... she won't comment too much on the heavy usage of my laptop...

to my sisters it's no difference because i'm still glued to the laptop screen....

to my dad no difference as well since we hardly talk....

well... that is my usual holiday.. but this holiday is kind of different... because my grandmother has come to stay at my aunt's house... so... it probably has nothing to do with my family right? hahaha.. here's the catch... my aunt lives next door... so yeah.. it's almost as if my grandma is staying at my house too...

first off.... why is my grandmother staying at my aunt's?
well... she had an operation on her leg... so yeah.. she's here for erm... post operation stay?

yeah... i guess.. living as neighbours does have its conveniences.... but... there are also inconveniences.... for example.. my grandmother is a fussy eater.. so my mum ends up having to cook most of her meals except for breakfast.... and yeah.. she can't eat alot of other food like prawns since she just had an operation so yeah.... my mum is like 2 times busier than usual...

and my aunt and uncle work, and my cousin goes to school.. so grandma is virtually alone with the maid in the house most of the time... so... my mum goes over rather often to talk to her and stuff... i also have to go over and listen to my grandma... actually... to tell the truth... my hokkien isn't too fantastic... so i probably only understand 30 - 70% of what she's saying.. depending on the topic...

most of the time.. i just smile and nod my head.. and if i'm confident of my answer, i will say something in reply... hahaha.. it's like hokkien lessons....

and with grandma's 'presence'... comes the many relatives coming to visit... the phone calls, the sudden appearances.... it's kind of stressful.... like when i'm going to put facial mask.... relatives suddenly appear... and i'm like: argh.. damn... never mind, i will put it later... and later i forget about it.. haha....

but on second thought.. i don't want them to see me in a facial mask... :P

yeah.. so.. mum exploded at my aunt today.... and my sisters and i just pretended to not exist and keep out of her way... i know we sound uncaring, but if we try to pacify/ comfort her, she just screams at us, so the best thing is to keep out of her way and just ignore her... this is probably why i suck at comforting people...

yeah.. that's all for now... off to watch bleach... :)
