Moments of My Life

June to Dec 2008...See you all Next Year 2009!

2008-12-25T23:37:00.000-08:00

Ho Ho Ho...Merry Xmas to one and all!!!

Its been a while since i last updated my blog...Well, its the end of the year and here i am penning down my thoughts and events before the year 2008 comes to an end...

Well, nothing much happens for this year except that last month, November, a major mishap happen to my wife, Amelia, which landed up in hospital for 3 weeks! what a close shave and she managed to recover well.

That day, I remembered it was on 13 Nov 2008. She went to my GP as she was not feeling well. She was then having fever, cough and running nose. The GP took her temperature and she was not having a fever. So, he just gave her some medicine. Well that night, 13 Nov, my wife was running a fever of 39.7 degrees. Wah Lau that was high!!! Her fever did not manage to subside after taking medication and she just slept through that night. The next day, she vomited and I was very worried. Called the ambulance and made our way to NUH.

During her one wk stay there, her temp was up and down and she was having severe headache and feeling giddy. Well, the doctors just prescribed with painkillers while testing for the virus that caused her to fall sick. I got to blame myself as I could not be there whole day to see her. I got a 3-year daughter with me and there is no caregiver. I was very sad and kept crying every nights as I worried about my wife's condition. Imagine, she would just shiver and shiver and there was no one with her. I was very very sad...on one hand, i had to look after my daughter and the other hand, i had to worry.........

Suddenly, about a wk later, she went into semi-coma and kept on sleeping. Her condition was real bad and I was shocked to see that. Crying and crying was all that i can do. That's my wife lying unconsciously on the bed. I was really worried for the worst case scenario. Shortly, she was sent to High Dependency Unit and she was still unconscious. That week, I had to bring my daughter to her holiday's program, which was signed up very early in Oct. Not to disappoint my daughter, I sent her there. During that period, i stayed at home and cried whenever I think of my wife. She was really unconscious. In the afternoon, her god ma took leave and helped to look after my daughter while I made my way to the hospital to see my wife. Visiting my wife was painful as she was not awake to see me. I talked to her while i was there and kept her company till the evenings, then I made my way home to cook for my daughter. That week was really tough as I had to struggle my emotions with my daughter who only knows that Mama is sick and in hospital. She does not know Mama is unconscious. I cried every night...

After a week of unconscious, my wife waked up. I quickly rushed to hospital and was very very happy to see her smile again. That moments was really nice and warmed my heart. I must owe my strong mind to my god ma, friends and colleagues who came and supported me. They offered their help one way or another!!! That's what true friends are for and that when I know who are really true friends.

Well, my wife has since recovered and she is back to her old self. So chubby and bubbly, her beautiful smile is always inked in my mind. Her tone and everything are always there. Mama, if you are reading this, I just want to say I love you.

So much so for my ordeal...

Xmas this year was a special celebration. We had a steamboat at my gd friend's house. His name is SF. It is house warming cum his daughter's 5th month celebration. As usual, our friend, SH proposed for an exchange gift of $19 as our friendship has been as long as 19 years. Everybody obliged.

It was indeed a good celebration and gathering as we managed to see two of our friends, JH and MH. We have not seen them for a few years....Took some photos and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Of course, my gd friend, SH, also enjoyed himself. Btw, tks to his wife who had prepared the food for us and also, their new born is so cute and bubbly...looks like SF..hee hee.

This year may not be smooth sailing but next year will be!! My family hereby wishes all readers of my blog a happy new year 2009 and may good health stays with you all! Cheers for a better new year. Hip Hip Hooray!!!!

2008-03-31T20:38:00.000-07:00

Last Sat (29 Mar), my wife, faustina and myself attended one of my gd friend's newborn party. We reached there ard 2 plus as we took a cab. Well, it was indeed an enjoyable event as we can see how my friend juggled with his newborn, by the way, his is a baby girl.

Reflecting on the day, the moments of handling my baby faustina was indeed an enjoyable period. She has grown from a small baby and now become a big girl. From not much talking to a lot of talking and something, her talking can be quite disturbing at times. Anyway, me and my wife enjoy her talking as we are pleased that she has outgrown herself. Continue my girl, you are the one!

I recalled a few weeks ago, my wife uttered something to me and made me ponder. She said that she does not have many friends and her friends are mainly associates whom they hardly call her. she is usually the one who will contact them. Unlike me, i have my own group, secondary and poly friends and even my colleagues to talk to. This is what she call friendship is. This statement makes me think....

To be frank, my friends are also like my wife's friends. We call when we need assistance. We hardly meet up as i am juggling my family and they do have their own life as well. I can only meet up a few as my mj kakis, maybe once every 2 months. In a way, they are still in my radar zone. But, i will take the extra effort to send them a msg when their birthdays are round the corner. That's a simple and warm gesture from me so that they will remember me.

I may have a lot of friends and colleagues. But who can i really depend upon when i am in trouble. I know that my wife will stand by me when there is a crisis. As for my close friends, I know some can help while some wish to help but within their means. Nevertheless, I appreciate their efforts and presence.

After reading this write up, I just want to make a point: The contacts with you all may be lesser but I will never forget you all. If I can be of help to you, please do not hesitate to call me. I value this true friendship with you all!

Cheers.

Well, its a new CNY and the rat has arrived to our life to pave our smooth life ever. Allow me to wish my friends and readers a very happy new year and wan shi ru yi!!

For me, this is just another holiday to relax and catch up with my friends and family..Same as last yr, there is no dinner with my parents. I dun care about having this dinner with them and i am sure they are not so keen as well. My relationship with them has worsened over the years and i am sure not looking forward a patch up...Yah yah, u all will say.."afterall, they are your parents and blah blah blah"..My stand is still very clear.. They did me wrong!!! anyway, I had a gd dinner at my in-laws house also...nothing is missed out.

My gd friend (Sh) called me the other day and suggested a "lo hei" session on 9 Feb. What i am happy is they make flexible for the meeting time, just to suit my timing..More often than not, they are always making consideration for me and family and try to suit me, if possible. Thanks pal to you, if you are reading this.

The dinner is scheduled at (J) house. So far, response is quite gd and really to see all my friends, especially Des, who has been stationed overseas for the past yr or so. So, look out for more updates. Till then, cheers.

Faustina's School Assignments

2008-01-27T08:26:00.000-08:00

Faustina has been lately very active and at times, disobedient as well. Well, I guess she is growing up and has learnt to be more self reliant and gaining independence for herself. Come to think of it, it's not bad at all....hmmm.

Lately, Faustina's pre school is giving out home assignments for the parents to submit. The first assignment is a draw up of Faustina's body outline with parts of her body indicating by paint or other materials....Wah lau..so difficult...I mean its difficult to get Faustina to lay down and outline her body...since my girl is always so curious like her daddy...Well, this project is still under WIP...

The next project is a hands on photo frame up of the Tan's family, as required by the school...This assignment looks a little easier than the previous one...anyway, it is still WIP..ha ha.

Year 2008 Beginning.....

2008-01-17T01:23:00.000-08:00

First of all, allow me to wish you all, the readers, a happy new year 2008. Sorry for this late greetings as i have been busy with all the helpings for my kid's classes at a nearby education centre, and of course my work as well...Hey, i am a very responsible person, ok...

Faustina is currently doing her pre-nursery with KinderLand. It has been about 3 weeks and i am very happy that she is coping well. Though it is a little costly with Kinderland, I think it is worth it as this centre is highly recommended by friends and forums. One of my colleagues' child was formerly in this Centre and had rated highly for its services and teachers. The only regret is that I cant give Faustina enrichment classes to attend. But dun worry, i am confident my home school teacher, my wife, will be able to teach and groom Faustina.

Last weekend, 12 Jan, we went to Sentosa for a night stay and a sumptuous dinner at one of the Chinese restaurant, located near the Palawan Beach Foodcourt. The menu was so good that I really to have more servings...you know what they serve...Dishes include: Shark Fins, Buddha Jump over the Wall, Chill Crabs, Lobsters, and a few more, I could not recall. Guess what...Its a table that cost $1,000. Wah lau...in my whole life of 31 years, I have not tasted such an expensive table. Anyway, I did not pay as my friends paid. Yippee and hurray to them.

Going to Sentosa is definitely a short retreat for my family. So, we bring Fasutina to the Underwater World and dolphin Lagoon. This is my first visit to UW and my post feeling is that so so only. A small place but yet a lot of tourists heading to and don;y know why. Tickets are not cheap as $19.90 per person. As I am not the marine like guy, this trip is mainly for Faustina to experience underwater creatures.

Next is the dolplin lagoon. My perception for this place is well sheltered and has proper seating like an auditorium style. But to my surprise, the chairs, not seats, are inside a tentage while the sun is high up shining bright and hot. What a disappointment. The show was also a little boring and not so exciting. Aiya, never mind, as long as Faustina enjoyed it, we are ok.

That's all for the updates. Cheers to you all.

A Nice & Warm Chill out on 22 Dec

2007-12-31T16:45:00.000-08:00

Remember the xmas gathering that i spoke abt in the last blog entry...the day had arrived and i indeed had a good memorable gathering....here are some of the highlights...

My gd friend, SF came to fetch me and my spouse to the gathering...That day was raining heavily and it was a sudden rain...thus delaying our arrival time at 6.00 pm. Nevertheless, with the gd driving skills and gd road directions sense, we arrived slightly late and still received a warm welcome from all my dear friends...

When our host (J) opened her door, alamak...only 3 of them inside...including me, my spouse, my kid, SF and his spouse, the total no. was 8!!!. Wat a great disappointment as our sec friends went to airport and gave us a plane. Wah lau. But never mind, with a great host and good company, the party still went on. Our xmas mood was not dampened.

We had a good meal, which consisted of sotong balls, black pepper chicken, popiah, sausages, bee hoon and ham. The host cooked bee hoon and the rest was bought off the shelve. I must admit that this meal was a little costly as the cost was initially shared by 12 pple but now, it got to share with 8 of us. Though it was costly, we really enjoyed it as there was great fun and laughter from us as we talked abt old days and school happenings...We oso played Tai Dee and it was indeed a good game. A lot of unwritten rules surfaced and a few arguments here and there but with all 5c, 10c and 20c views, and also from the Internet's expert opinion, the game was a well played.

Next, we ate the log cake, prepared by the host..a brand me and my spouse never eat and heard before: "Awfully chocolate". This shows that how ignorant i am. Ha ha. This cake was also intended for my spouse's birthday which happened to be on this actual day. We sang and took photographs for memories sake. Thanks pals..

Lastly, its the xmas gift exchange show. This year, the organiser (Sh) requested for presents that are above $18 in value...Why $18??? Later it was known that this secondary committee has been in existence for 18 years, since we know each other in Sec 1. Sentimental value right, i agree whole heartedly. Everyone exchanged gifts accordingly to the Organiser (Sh) plan and it went well smoothly. The party ended with everyone going home in a happy mood but for me, i even happier as the group played mj in my house.

Kudos to the host(J), my gd friend(SF), organiser(Sh) and the company of friends (D) on that day. Thanks for the hard work and effort. Maybe can start planning for this year (2008)...hmmm..

X'mas is drawing near....

2007-12-15T20:57:00.000-08:00

Here comes another year and soon, its Xmas....Shall i look forward for another brighter year and it will still be just another year for me...many thoughts cross my mind....

A few months ago, i had some quarrels with my dad and that most "hated" person in my life "MOTHER". Its my fault for creating that unhappiness and i had apologised to my dad and atone for my mistakes. I actually damaged the door lock and since replaced a new one. That's not important, important is during the conversation with my dad, the latter said they will shift our by next year, after the Chinese New Year and then i can have the whole flat....My mind keeps thinking, is this real and will my very dream come true after next CNY?

I discuss with my wife and she said it could just be another "conversation" which has no meaning in it...that means to say...it will not be true. My dad could just say for the sake of saying and that cannot be taken to heart....Well, i just have to look positively and hope that my dream can come through...Hopefully by next year, we can have our own flat and welcome our friends to our warm little cosy shelter, and xin will have her own bedroom....by then, we can possibly plan for another kid....hee hee.

This xmas, we are having a xmas with my secondary school friends...its the first time and i am definitely looking forward to meet up old friends...A bit special for the exchange of gifts..a minimum of $18, which translates that our secondary school friend community has been around for 18 years and we have known each other for a solid 18 years. This xmas gathering happens to be my wife's birthday, 22 Dec, so my friends out there who have read this blog and are going for this X'mas gathering, please remember to bring a present for my wife.

For those who are reading this blog, i sincerely wish you all a merry xmas and a happy new year. Till now, take care. cheers to you all.

"Mommy" warms Amelia's heart

2007-12-15T20:49:00.000-08:00

The day has finally arrived. Over these 25 over months, my daughter did not utter the word "Mommy" from her cute little mouth. Whatever she wants anything from my wife, she will always use sign language to express.

Never mind, this day has come and she says the word "mommy" and that has truely delighted my wife. My wife was so happy and since then, my daughter says "mommy" very well. This is so good as another word has been mastered by my daughter. Forgot to say, she is also well versed in a lot of words and can form short sentence to illustrate her stand. For instance, she will say " daddy, give xin drink milk", "daddy, play ball with xin", etc...this is so wonderful and so warm.

Ever since, my daughter is able to call "Mommy", my wife has increased her responsibilities...Hee hee. Now, whatever my daughter wants anything, the first person and first word that cross her mind is "MOMMY". Ha ha, "DADDY" seldom appears but will still be needed on occasions. Hee hee, my wife has to bath for her and even at times, drink medicine...
M wife, amelia, if you are reading this, thanks for yr hard work and I applause for your hard work and perservance.

Potty Training

2007-11-27T01:43:00.000-08:00

Its been a while since i last updated our happenings. Ready to share the recent happenings.

My daughter has recently started potty. Back in my mind, this is something so difficult and she is so comfortable in her diapers. Well, she soon has to overcome this stage and let's try it.

My wife tried the first day and as expected, there were a few accidents and she had to wash more clothes. The next day, Faustina seems to know the hardship of washing her clothes, so she made less accidents. On the third day, it was even lesser than the 2nd day. On the fourth day, she managed it and go potty without accidents. We are so happy that our gal is able to do her "business" without diapers. 3 cheers to u, faustina.

Till now, she has been doing her "business" in her potty and every time, she wants to do. She will say "potty, she she". So comical. Nevertheless, we will occasionally ask her if she wants to go potty, just in case of any accidents, she will always reply :Don't want"....so cute...hee hee

Faustina's Birthday Celebration

2007-10-17T02:27:00.000-07:00

On 06 Oct, we checked into Island Resorts (Former coasta sands chalet), a day that we were anticipating anxiously to come. By the way, we were looking for a sea view resort.

We checked in the resort @ 2.30 pm and was given a resort. So happpy, we made our way there...When we opened the door, it was a horror. The toilet bowl is spolit and air con not working well. It is absolutely not a place for a human to stay. I am very particular as i had a toddler and the basic means was not even met. I asked for a change immediately. They gave me another place which was not by the sea view...very disappointing...Never mind, we opened the "changed" resort. Wah lau, the fridge was better (double storey) as compared to the previous one (single storey) but got a pungent smell...same goes for the toilet bowl...Cant expect much as my daughter's birthday party was about to start in the evening...so got to make do lor.

I tell you, when the buffet started in the late evening, the most horrifying part appeared in front of me and my guests. COCKROACHES JOINED IN OUR BUFFET!!!! I was very angry and at the end, some good souls managed to destroy them but they kept coming back and in the end, we calculated. We had killed > 10 of them...

When we were about to rest for the night, just beside us also had a party by our Indians community. They switched on the music from 11 pm to 3 am, like nobody business. What a thing to end for the night.

I decided to check out the next day. Actually, i intend to stay for another night, but judging the conditions, the best place to sleep is still home. I made a complaint to the IR Mgt and their reply was very standard. The Guard DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE FROM THE UNIT. I was stunned and I immediately told them to send the guard for hearing test. The noise was so loud and yet it was not heard. THis is the best answer i ever received. As for the pest, they claimed that some pest coy will be called in to settle.....hmmm, let's wait and see.

So, I told them this will be my first visit there and my last visit there...I will not go there again unless it is really really renovated. IR should not lease the chalets out when they are still under renovation...Its bad for the tourists and people staying there, especially IR has targets for tourists. To all my readers out there, please consider your options for resort staying...

To end off, i will say my daughter enjoyed the party celebration but not the resort. Cheers.

A holiday on the way

2007-09-29T18:50:00.000-07:00

These few weeks have been enriching for me..Y? My kid is learning a lot of things from her MMI School and our efforts pay off when we see her growing up.

True enough, not every kid is the same. My kid has her own characteristics and she is definitely unique from others. U know...she can call me "DAD" by signing to me and saying the word very confidently. Our investment in "Signing TIme" really pays off. Dun worry, i am sure in time, she will call out "MOM" with her signing though now, she only signs.

Last week, faustina went to see DR YUN and diagonised to have mild cough with a little whizzling. She was given medication and needs to be monitored for 5 days. Hopefully, she will recover in time and celebrate her 2nd birthday, which me and my wife have planned for her. Faustina, u must recover!!

Next week (06 Oct 2007), we have a birthday party for Faustina at Island Resorts @ ECP. This is her 2nd year birthday and we want it to be a meaningful one. Sorry, faustina, daddy and mummy did not have a grand one when you were 1 yr old. Never mind, this 2nd year birthday, we will let you enjoy. Really looking for that day to arrive as papa and mama are already gearing up for this day....yip hip hooray.

For those who see this post and if you are one of the invited guests, dun forget to turn up with "ang bows" preferred and mark this special day on your calendar. Till then, watch out for more updates. Cheers.

Updates

2007-09-05T17:27:00.000-07:00

Mykid has been sick for the pasy weeks, suffering from lung infection. So we have to continue monitoring her. For the past weeks, me and my wife have conscientiously looked after her and ensured that her health is always good. Anyway, she has been recovering well under my wife's good care and my lively, bubbly Faustina is back.

Today, she will be going for a follow up to my GP and hopefully, all clear for her. Cos, friday (07 Sept), its my off day and we look forward to spend a fruitful day with faustina. We plan to go swimming, zoo or maybe Borders to browse books, as my wife has started reading books related to children activities, a pastime she has not done for years. I am glad as she takes pains to know more about children activities and share them with me. Thanks a lot, Amelia.

To readers out there, i may not have been writing or updating my blog very often but that does not equate anything. I just wan to share my family happenings to my friends' out there about my plight. THough it is not pitiful, it is quite terrible in my family. Here some updates...

Since the last quarrel with my M, i have not been talking and i dun even care for her existence. I live my life and she lives her. So long as she dun step in my path. Things are still the same and dun expect any good developments to my relationship with my family. I am utterly disappointed with each of them (F, M & B). They have really disappointed me in every aspects and my F & B have not stood out as figures when the situation calls for it.

I recently made a decision. Well, i have been considering this for months and it also realised a few days ago. I CANCELLED MY MOBILE PHONE LINE. The initial no. 96800xxx was under my B's name. I decided when the contract expired this Aug, i am not going to take on this line. A total break up from him. So i returned the bike to him (in july) and subsequently, this mobile line. I have changed to another no under my name. Thogh feel sad as i have been holding this line for so many years. But, i still have to make a painful decision.

SOme of u all may feel that i am a heartless fellow...so petty and blah blah blah. But i dun care. I have done so much for the family and yet i get this kind of treatment from them. I have done my part as a son and brother and when my B is need of $$ and help, i am always there to help. But when i need, where are they? All disappear within sight. Those who know me well and my plight will definitely understand me.

2006-12-08T23:31:00.000-08:00

A week ago, my daughter vomitted and had diarrhoea in the middle of the night. My wife and I were worried and brought her to KK for a check..She was then discharged with rest at home....the next day, my daughter was suffering very painful and it hurt me and my wife...we were darm worried sick....in the end, we admitted her again to KK and stayed there for 3 days...

During this period, none of my family visited my daughter, just like the last round when she was admitted. It was my in-laws who came everyday to visit her, despite that they were working adults. MY god sister also came by and helped out...U look at this...even outsiders can come and visit..let alone my parents and brother....so sad...

After my kid discharged, my wife fell sick as she conscientiously looked after her in KK. My kid is slowly recovering from the virus and is smiling once again..so happy to see her little smile everyday and also my wife's lovely smile...I am blessed to have them in my life.

Since she discharged, she has been waking up in the middle of the night and we were very stressed up in this...no choice, that's our daughter and we will continue to shower her with lots of love, though she is alittle naughty at times...

General Thoughts

2006-12-08T23:28:00.000-08:00

Since then, i have not talked with my M. Though it is a hectic and stressful for me, my wife and daughter, we have to endure and suffer in silence.

I tried seeking MP assistance and eventually, a counsellor called me and talked to me. NOw i am considering whether should i go through legal means in getting my own flat and remove myself from this family nucleus...I am very sad....

That deadly fateful day..02 Nov

2006-12-08T23:12:00.000-08:00

Sometime in Oct 2006, I popped up the thought of selling the current flat as I want to apply a new flat of my own with my wife. In fact, this thought has been with me for many years, just that I saw my brother's issue happening and did not wish to burden the family.

My M was very furious as i told her abt our thought. She was reluctant and i firmly told her that it is. U and me cannot live together and there is no happiness in this house. I will rather live on my own and move on with my life. For the next few weeks, she was very upset and cried practically every day...until on fine day..the deadly day..

That day, 02 Nov 2006 around 6.45pm, she came back from work and used a knife and threatened me in not selling the house. My wife witnessed this and i eventually called my neighbours and brother in help. The police then came and recorded a statement. Police asked me whether do i want to charge against my M. I have a second thought and did not proceed with it. In the end, my wife and i decided to shift out for the time being.

During the week, my brother called me and we discussed the issue. That brother of mine is very selfish. The only solution to this problem is that he sells his current flat, since he is a divorcee, and takes over the ownership of my current flat. While i can then apply a flat of my own. HE said "NO" as if he does that, a few years later, if he wants to sell the flat, he has to go through this whole episode again. I told him but now my wife and daughter are having safety problems as my M took a knife and threatened to kill me!!! He said "so what this thing happens" and "dun say you got wife and kid, its nothing big deal". I was very dishearted. When he got problems, i helped him and waited. And now, i am encountering a Life and Death situation and yet he said such things !!!!!!! He even said I am not so noble in waiting for him to settle his issue and blah blah blah....

After a week, we moved back and i had a talk with my parents. My M still refused to sell the flat and I was very determined to sell. I then came to an agreement with my M. She dun sell, ok...from now on..I will never call her or acknowledge her...she lives her own way while i live on my own....she don't bother and i dun bother her...Tat's It....No kinship to talk as she is one who does not value it. In her eyes, it is only $$$$...why i said that...She even demanded the $$$ that she gave me for my wedding gift back from me . Why in this world has such a Mother??? I cant believe it....

Happenings from 2001 to 2006

2006-12-08T22:55:00.000-08:00

I moved into my flat, which was registered under my mother and myself, in year 2001. Things were not very good as my mother was very quarrelsome and not happy with me at all. We quarrelled almost every other day and I decided to sell the flat and live on my own. Since then, i have not been talking to my mother (M) for 2 to 3 years. By the way, my whole family, including my girlfriend then (now my wife) knows about this issue and also the issue of selling flat, when it is due in 2 1/2 years (the flat was a resale flat).

During that period, my brother had marital problems and was struggling to handle his problems. By then, it was time to sell the flat. I, being considerate, witnessed that my Brother was going through such difficult time and therefore decided to postpone my plan to a few more years.

Things in fact changed better and i was on a slight talking term with my M. However, things started again when I was preparing my marriage. She insisted on having a big number of guests while I explained that I was only holding a church wedding and could not afford so many guests. She was also furious about the "buffet food" that i ordered, claiming that the food were not nice.

I endured her nonsense and eventually, went ahead with my plans. I eventually got married and so after, my baby girl was born in Oct 2005. Well, u all may say that got a baby liao, things will improve. But i tell you, this is not so.

I remembered that when my baby girl was having her first month celebration, I, being kind enough, seeked her advice in selecting the buffet food..ya...its buffet food again. She again wanted some kind of food that are not within my budget and therefore kicked a fuss out of it. In the end, during my girl full month celebration, she disappeared out of the house, leaving me answering the queries from my relatives and friends.

That's not more, she does not feel remorseful in this issue!!

When my girl was hospitalised for fever when she was 2 months old, my wife and me were in the hospital and were worried sick. My parents and brother did not even come and visit her nor ask anything abt her situation. I was very sad...how come i have such family members who does not even wish to concern their very grandchild...

That's not all my friends.....I had signed up a photo shot package when i graduated from my Bachelor course. Initially, my M agreed to go for a photo shot but later changed her mind of not doing so, just because of one incident. The incident is over a meal. I cooked a soup and she does not like it. I merely rebuked her saying "if not nice, cook urself". She got angried and there goes my long awaited family portrait. This happened in May 2006.

Since then, my relationship with my M worsened and we really did not talk for months....

First write up
