Another "peaceful" but long duty. Which weekend duty isn't long? =P

Went back home to do my laundry. And went over to fetch my 3 nieces & the maid to visit my sister at Hougang Chalet via cab. Cab fare was a whopping 24 dollars on a Comfort cab - but it isn't that bad when compared to the return trip. Somemore i took from Ghim Moh to Boon Lay place to Hougang Chalet.

Spend about 2 hours there. Actually was having some small disagreement again (what's new?) but still decided to go. I just kindly informed her yesterday that i was on 24hrs duty on sat till sun morning, and thus will be going there just for a while, need some time to rest mah.
Dunno how she interpret. She ended up replying that she will get someone to send her kids there. And there is no need to bring her kids to visit her anymore.

Was kinda dun feel like going but haiz dun want to disappoint the kids after their father also dun want to take responsibility to bring them there.

She asks the maid to bring quite a few items this time round, i think that she seems resigned that her stay isn't going to be that short anymore. She didn't say anything when i said that i will bring her kids to come next time via MRT and bus because it's costly to take cab. And especially when i still dunno how long this stay is going to be.

The return trip from Hougang Chalet to Boon Lay Place cost almost $20 on a Smart cab. Was sleeping on the way back, dunno where he go detour. Then i took bus and mrt back to Buona Vista. When the train is pulling into the station, a little boy asks his mother in a very cute manner, "What is Buona Vista?" Haha i also dunno how to answer sia.

So fast. Already 1 month since my mother is cremated. 2 weeks after knowing the truth, well if that it's really the truth.

I dunno how i manage to take the developments so well. I seriously dunno. Maybe at times like this, your character really plays a big part.

To some extent, i still blame myself for this tragedy that had unfold. But i have no regrets. Because to me, i already did my best within my means.

Unknown to some, i have this fierce attempt 2 years ago to try admitting my mother into a nursing home. Along the way, learnt that there is a rule set by relevant authorities and agencies that all the kids must agree to the arrangement. Ironic enough, my sister was the one who is against the move and refused. Not that i never tried before, and if i really want to find a scapegoat, i would blame it on the policy makers.

But what's the point?
