what should i do with her.
my heart is so broken with her sensitivity. But when she put me into frustration, i really am at loss on what to do with her.
- a pile of school work done not handed in/undone hidden
- chinese oral results are out but she hid it in her drawer
- a note written : i hate, hate hate hate.. isaac.. fucking.
talk, pray, counsel, scream, scold, cane ... all done. what else can i do to help her???

how would you react
My lunch today was at Sembawang hill where i saw a father dropping off his 14-15 yr old boy who is wearing his uniform from branded school, off whilst he look for parking.
The mum was waiting at the hawker all ready for him to be seated. She asked what he wants for lunch and gruffly asked back what is there to eat.
boy seated, mum stand bending down.
mum ran through the hawker's food list and he chose. Mum wonders off to order food for herself, her son and father.
boy finished food, pulled out phone to play. Mum asked question, little response from the prince. Mum pass tissue for him to clean his face. Prince takes tissue, clean and continue playing his phone game.
I was not exactly feeling very much but just thought if i knew the boy, he will either get a huge sacasm or a head smack from me.
My thoughts? This boy is spoilt from the mom and the hands, legs and brain is just used for study and play. And he totally has no initiatives to do anything for himself except to be waited.
what is yours? Feeling indifferent cos it's common. Or none of my business? Or there is absolutely nothing (so) wrong her? Are you being too strict/harsh?

Bangkok trip
An acct so that i can remember this sister trip to BKK. 17th Oct to 19th Oct 09.
Day 1 - Cab from Airport to President Solitaire (near Nana BTS) is Baht400. Cab insisted we pay Bht500 but we didn't have much choice.
Reached hotel safe and checked in at 8.30am, after a short freshen up and adminstrative. We were out at 9ish. Ate at an amazing road side stall, chicken rice noodle at Bht25. Proceed to take train to CTC market. one day trip pass = Bht 120. Their charges are by Zone. Mo Chit is where CTC market is. Happier shopping at designer's area, had a great chill out time at Lita where they sell unique bags and play great Bossa music. Coconut ice cream was great @bht25. There's a shop that sell great T's and racers. At 5ish, we left the place to freshen up at the hotel and headed for an aroma massage at the hotel Bht866 per person after 30% discount. Very shiok and then dinner at nearby Japanese restaurant (Bht 660 for two) which is not worth mentioning.
Day 2 - scrumptous breakfast at the hotel. Out at about 9ish to shop at Platinum. It's at chitloam station but a long walk to Zen->Isetan->across the bridge then platinum. Bad shopping from 1st to 3rd floor. but after that, there were great finds of accessories and gifts and one store which sold korean look alike clothes. Ate at the top floor where they serve almost similar sg food - chicken rice, beef noodles, braised duck rice/noodle, Kuay chap.. Sis treated bird's nest.
Took BTS back CTC mkt for last minute chiong of the weekend mkt and bought more clothes. It poured and we had to make our way back to hotel at 8ish. showered, freshened up and headed for Patpong area for massage and food. I thought we could find the ones I used to enjoy but did not. We had thai massage (Bht330/pax) at a sleazy shop, though good, my angmoh "neighbour" asked for "additional" service so really spoilt the serenity. But my legs were much better.
We had a hassled dinner at KFC (Bht 200 for two) and took the train back. However, we missed our station as we were laughing too hard at the advertisements and took a joy ride back to our NANA station. By the time we hit bed, it's midnight.
Day 3 - another heavy breakfast before we head out. Went to Isetan and roam around a bit. Went back to Platinum to finish what we left out. Shop "gusto" has some nice things too. Walk to Siam station and roam Paragon, Siam centre then really tired out by the time we reached MBK. MBK's attraction is still there - for electronics, for titbits and small items. They have great restaurants there too. went back to hotel, freshen up, checked out at 4pm, did foot massage and manicure nearby (which we should have on Day 2) at bht250 for foot and bht200 for mani. Back to the hotel, collected our luggage and paid bht370 for tolls, extra tax and metre fees to the airport. despite the jam. Found that onthe next lane from Nana station, there sits my black canyon cafe and seemingly better massage shops. There's always next time :)
Note: departure/airport tax (passenger service charge) will be included in the airline ticket price!! cos of that, we each had Bht700 with us unspent... hahaha..
total damage: S$300 for airline tix and hotel each. expenses including food, massage, shopping for myself is S$475 cash and S$200 on card.
Happines with sister: priceless.
