blue me...

last nite, father brought home some herbs from his friend, who said those herbs cld help mum's condition. 1pack is with vege and the other with wood, or tongkat. father asked me to make juice with those vege (beetroot, celery, chinese pasley, carrot, cucumber, spinach) for mum. this vege juice is good in reducing the cholesterol level. as for the tongkat, has to be chopped and brew in water for 12hrs. the "tea" wld make wonder too, but i cldnt remb wat it is.
mum stepped out from room when heard the commotion in the hall. she supposedly to nag at father for going to mahjong and being home late. however, when she saw all these "wonders herbs" awaiting for her to consume, she changed her mind. she ranted instead. making excuses not to drink these, saying it might kill her faster (whic i agreed), making runs to loo, and/or making her feeling colder. blah blah blah...

this brings me back to... when my granny who died of lung cancer when i was in p4. she was 68 then. gone in 3mth after health examination. she nv complained abt her medications she had to take. she even asked us to bring her to various unlicensed chinese physicians for more wonders. though we all knew ta it's fruitless. bcoz she smoked too much.

but, mum is not like her. mum nv smokes. she nv listen to us nor doc. she didnt even want to take her usual medications. she nv follows a balanced diet.
just tonite's dinner, we had 2fried chicken wings each. it's her request and er-ge went to buy for her. on top of ta, she ate the remainder half salted egg. she has been buying salted eggs every week. ta's unhealthy for her!
- when wld she listen? or jus be nice? -

tml morn, the house wld be very quiet. niece wld be starting her days in childcare centre. da-sao discussed with me ta she wld starts in feb, but i wasnt told abt her change of decision till i heard it from mum.
at least, niece cld learn and play with children of her age. mum wld hav some peace to nap soundly and me to hav more space to do my own things. da-sao said ta it's a waste of my youth staying home all day jus to take care of her child and mum esp i've defered my sch. well, i am not disappointed at all. i defered bcoz of mum's sake.
by 7am, ther wld be no more of niece running ard in her jingling anklets, yelling, singing nonsense, milking, changing diaper, showering, watching and coaxing her to sleep. or even, barney and other children educational shows on kids central. i wld miss her very much. i wld only get to see her in the evening.

i wld hav to start spring cleaning the house. not to think of niece all the time.
