New Year Eve

It was the 1st time i ate my reunion dinner with my sister for quite a while. It's more toward "do i have a choice since she asks" rather than volunteer to eat there. I have always eat my reunion dinner @ my big uncle's place since my family is broken up in pieces.

Frankly speaking, didn't really enjoy it. I am okay with my nieces and the maid, but someone keeps complaining money not enough over the dinner. And keep saying if my bro in law will "come up" for the dinner.

I seriously dun understand this woman. Yes he changed his handphone and become uncontactable, never come back. But she's the one who changed the lock, install security alarm system (that makes him cannot come back), files for divorce, report police, go to the press to publish the news of him aborting the family. And now thinking if he will come for reunion?

Money not enough? My father and I contributed 100 dollars for the dinner since she wanted to have this dinner (my father contribute even he's not coming). I advanced 2 months (Mar & Apr) of maid levy to her (about 520 dollars).
I even increased the amount of hongbaos for them, and giving one to her which is not my usual practice (i not married, but through my mother).
So she is saying 700 over dollars is not enough? Isn't it better to go fly kite?

New year i didn't want to make a fuss. I just continue to eat my food. Once done, i went back home immediately.

New Year Day

I woke up early @ 8 plus. I only have 2 places to go. I went to my dad's place first before going to my big uncle 's place @ around lunchtime. My cousin M asks me to stay for dinner since i missed the one the day before.

My sister also came in the afternoon @ around 3 plus. My big uncle was going out, and so they quickly gave her kids & the maid the hongbaos and left. My big uncle asked her why she brought the maid along, since it will be better that the maid should be at home looking after my mother.
She answered, "No worries, we planned nicely, we will go out for 3-4 hours only coz must feed my mother."
My sister didn't leave immediately, instead she was waiting for my cousin who is sleeping to wake up and come down and give his first hongbaos. During the wait, the maid accidently spilled out, that she last feed my mother @ 9 plus in the morning. That is 6-7 hours without feeding when there is supposed to be 2 feeds.
I almost jumped, my heart rate went up, I really feel like cursing pp, but i control my temper.

I gave her 20 dollars for cab fare, hoping that she will go as it was already 4 plus. Then my uncle 1 came back, quite surprised that she's still around. My big uncle gave her another 100 dollars and she finally decided to leave. She got return me the 20 dollars but WTF. I feel so paiseh on how come i got such a sister.
Even my auntie was saying that she brought the maid along so can get 1 additional hongbao. Even i think it's the case. Haiz.

I dunno how come my sister decide to come to my big uncle 's place. Ever since she purposely didn't attend the funeral of my grandmother 2 years ago, the relationship has been very rocky. My big uncle invited her for my cousin's wedding 2 months ago, it was the 1st contact for 2 years. My big uncle might have forgive her but do all of my other relatives?

Then @ around 5 plus, one by one, all my extended relatives arrived. Even my father finally turned up after sleeping the afternoon away. This dinner is much more enjoyable i guess, i feel more at ease.

The only downside is the mental health of my smallest uncle. His wife is expecting. He has some mental problem. Last time, he still can work @ KH, though he will talk to himself very often. Now is he cant work liao. His mental condition is getting worst, doing more and more funny things. I heard that the last time he went KH, he operated the forklift and caused a few pellet of beer crates to fall from height, and left immediately.

The major concern now is his kid. My big uncle wants to get him treated as soon as possible before the arrival of his kid. Coz who knows what he will do next. Haiz. But the problem now is to seek approval of his wife. His wife seems helpless and dunno what to do?
But isn't it ironic? He's getting crazy but he's the one who cares most. Only he bothered to give my 3 nieces hongbaos without seeing them.

And my grandfather. He still can moves around and going strong despite his old age. But his mind & memory already gone. Anyhow talk liao. Like saying my big uncle is out when he is in. And saying i parked my car outside when i dun have a car. Hmmm haiz.

I know this blog entry seems to put my sister in a bad light. I am sorry but i need an avenue to blast it out. I avoided a confrontation just because it's new year.
