I opened my eyes and by grace, I'm alive, yet again.

I hate to admit I've been neglecting my blog ever since last month yah. With her being the reason and been so tied up with work by stocktakes and such, I'm hardly left having enough time to breath. Much has happened to me and those around me like my family that's for sure. And I'm more than willing to update you since today being my off day. So here I am, locked up in my puny room yet again, blogging away infront my computer as of now.

Allow me to start off with my family shall we? My second sister(or should I say, the only sister I'm left with now?) is officially jobless since the end of August. So even the lame could have guessed, all the financial burdens is all upon me this month. After learning my second sister will soon be receiving a tidy neat sum for being retrenched after working for more than a tenner years, my eldest sister jumped upon the opportunity of cos. There goes the soap operas again... weeping, begging my sister to borrow her the money. There's a saying, Once Bitten, twice Shy. For my family case, it's more like Thrice Bitten, Forever Shy. So without much more explanation my second sister hardened her heart and didn't loan her the money. Afterall that's her hardearned money for toiling for her company all these years. That's quite a price to pay for her youth, her talents. And any money being loan to my eldest sister nowadays is as good as gone. Who would loan her a penny nowadays? Not Me. Not even a stray on the streets. Her reputation is that bad. Trust me on this.

It's gonna be a long post. I can't stop now. So bear with me k.

As those whom know me, my eldest sister conned my mother and me into using our policy names into loaning her 14k and 4k respectively. As for those smart alecs whom might be reading this and criticising why my mother and I are that stupid. I could only say what would an old woman know and me being just 11yrs old, after my father died, would expect my sis, being the most eldest in the family, would have planted such a trap for us? NTUC Income is pressing both of us for payments over the past few months. Being the lucky one, I took a loan from my second sister to pay off the 4k I owed. But not for the same case for my mother whom owed 14k. Unable to pay off that amount and after revising the situation as a whole with my sister and mum, my mum finally made the painful decision to close her insurance policy considering she could still get a pathetic sum of 1.8k after paying for the policy for more than 10yrs. We really ought to pray for my mum for making such a decision, reason being not being insured at 60yrs old, unless she'll will be in the pink of health in years to come, else she'll only be a liability to both my second sis and me.

She's been preying upon my mum all along I guess.

After knowing my mother's intention of closing her account sometime ago, my eldest sis(or fiend) accessed my mother's policy account(kudos to internet) and changed her bank account number. Without suspecting any foul play being involved and expecting the remaining 1.8k being transferred to 'her' own account, my mother signed the legal documents early this month. One week passed quickly by. Followed by two. After seeing the amount has yet being credited into my mother's balance, my second sister and me stepped into looking at this matter... Only to recover that the sum had already being credited to that bitch(eldest sis) account instead. We did tried to take legal actions against her but failed, utterly. I couldn't believe what a world I've been in. Till then my mother been crying every night since. Gone is her 3k savings(conned). Gone is the 14k that bitch took from her policy(conned). Gone is the final 1.8k of her life(conned). I've never hate anyone before oh God. 'She' has left my mother fending with nothing. Afterall she's the one whom brought her up. Giving her the best compared to the rest of us. What she got in return? Retribution? Cruel fate? This is absurb and pure madness. My second sister and I had already disowned her officially. My eldest sis is better off dead for now, and years to come.

People do die everyday, so why can't she be just one of them?

I felt I've rant enough. Be back for more on other personal issues as well.

Treasure each and everyday with your loved ones yah?
Spend more quality time with them.
For,
We only live once.
Not Twice.
