Today, i didnt' go to church bcos i didn't feel well enuff to go. My head was hurting like crazy, pressure on my ears giving mi the headaches i gez. Labels: life
Met my cell grp for lunch at Clementi's Botak Jones, looked great but knowing my condition, i could only eat some fishball kway tiao. boohoo.. After that, we went to a nearby flat to visit Jiamin's grandma. She's my ex cell grp fren, but ever since she told us what happened to her grandma, we made it a point to go down to visit her grandma and aunt who is staying with her and taking care of her. I found this act of ours really nice actually, that we all put down our stuffs and we didn't drag our heels over this matter. We actually made the trip after we talked abt it 3 weeks back. Not bad man.
Her grandma fell a few months back and hurt her spine. She can now walk around but mainly lie on her bed. I think she had a major operation 10 yrs back and since then, she had little interactions resulting her becoming senile. She's 92 years old aldy. Like i share before, i feel more for old pple than for children, mayb cos of my dad. Jiamin's aunt is unmarried and takes her of the grandma full time. Her aunt actually kept 5 cats at home!!! wow.....but i gez that's her way of relieving her stress lar, but focusing on the stray cats that she had brought home. It's really sad that Jiamin's grandma is confined to her bed most of the time. Think her condition had deteriorated abit. There are basically not much she could do at home, she doesnt' really watch the tv either cos her eyes are not gd. So the 2 hrs we were there, the group of us were chatting in her room while she laid on her bed. They stay on a storey that doesn't have a lift so getting her out of the hse is a problem. Kinda sad huh. When u reach such an age, sometimes u really don't know wats the meaning to live anymore. Even tho on the surface, things look quite ok, but i know it's hard to take care of someone is sick. Frustrations kick in sometimes, not bcos you don't wan to care for the person, but bcos everything is juz so tough and nothing seems to make the person better. Situations where u don get a lift outside your door/level, you can't watch tv, you can't move ard, hence you can't interact or even go out for a stroll on the wheelchair..one thing leads to another. It's juz really sad. Lying on the bed all the time isnt gd. Easy to develop sores. And that can be a difficult thing to treat.
ANyway, hope our presence managed to liven up the house and occupants. The aunt kept chatting with us too. Bcos i heard that seldom there are pple visiting the hse, so it's usually quiet. SO i'm really glad we visited them and hope to work something out like visiting them once a mth.
There was once they came to visit my hse. Back then things were not so bright at home. In fact, the whole mood at home was quite down. Their presence did make a difference to my place. Especially now, would be nice if they can come and visit my dad for awhile too. I muz say with the appearance of Albert at my home, my dad has been happier. There's someone to chat with him and take care of him. I think he loves Albert alot. I see him laughing more nowadays. Sometimes even my mom is happier with the extra person in the house.
I kinda miss my grandpa. Miss him alot. He's aldy 89 years old. I should go back and see him soon.With every mth that passes, i'm losing the amount of time i could get to see him.
sighz..
Back to work tomoro................siansified
