Over

Finally, it is over!

On friday, my housemate's friends from Melbourne came and stayed with us. There are two bedrooms and two toilets in my house. My housemates let their room (ensuite; with toilet) to their friends and sleep in the living room.

Illogical is the word to describe my housemates. Currently, there are five under the same roof and I am sharing one toilet with four others! I wondered if there is miscommunications between them and their friends or this is what they planned. Since they are using the bedroom with toilet, why aren't they using that? Apparently, only my lady housemate is using that toilet.

AND I got pretty pissed on the first night, the guests arrived. I am still alright to share the toilet (just find it illogical). I think my housemates are pretty bad host. If your friends are staying, why aren't you preparing extra cups for them to rinse their mouth? I have two identical cups in the toilet. One is to hold the toothbrush while the other is to hold water (to rinse my mouth). I supposed because the rinsing cup is empty, the guests thought that they are for them and used it! PISSED.

What is more! Yesterday my housemates planned to take the guests to Goldcoast, intended to start the trip at 11 am. But my housemates woke up at 11 am! Goldcoast is 45 minutes away from Brisbane and the sun sets around 5 pm. That is the closing time for most shops too. In the end, we arrived Surfer Paradise of Goldcoast around 2-3 pm. I saw how disappointed the girlfriend (of the guest) was, not able to shop till she dropped at the factory outlet mall.

Then today, housemates planned to go to Sunshine coast, which is two hours drive away from Brisbane. They emphasized to wake up earlier to go there since it is far away. Yet, history happened again. They woke up at 11 plus am this morning. In fact, the night before, they didn't even agreed on what time to wake up.

I think the trip today was not fufilling at all. 2 hours drive, we saw the Glasshouse mountains. BUT aren't we supposed to go to Sunshine COAST? I didn't see the Southern Pacific Ocean at all! We went at Noosa Heads around 5-6 pm. It was dark already then.

I think the girlfriend (of the guest) must be pretty disappointed. The first meal of the day was at a bakery shop to eat ... err PIE(That was 2.30 pm, the time we reached the Sunshine Coast region)! Then the next meal, which was 20 minutes after the first, was at Montville, a french alike little town, in Poets Cafe. The cafe serves expensive food. Then another 1 hour drive to Noosa heads to have... HOT CHOCOLATE??? And that is it! No dinner! She ended up eating instant noodles with me at home!

Absurb! Poor gal!

Hahahahaha. Will she do the same to us in Melbourne?

If

If money drops from the sky! That would be great!

I was surviving with porridge with carrots or instant noodles for the few weeks. Trying my best to cut down the expenses. Pretty successful but it was miserable, especially during exam week.

Trying very hard to save money for the Melbourne trip. I thought I will be fine. I budgeted and I figure out that I should be able to make it with the allowance. But my cousin is cutting the allowance next month by AUD200 to AUD800. Because of some unforseen reason.

I rang my family for help. I figure out this is the only way out with the situation that I am facing. Not from my dad, I asked to borrow from my eldest sister. She did agree, but with naggings. I know her difficulties too. She don't earn alot but she contributed a fair bits to the family. I just can't ask from dad. He is paying for those expenses in hospital. Last week, he paid $700 cash for his CT Scan. And I felt so sorry for him. He paid the expenses on his own, and no one went to hospital with him.

I was chatting with Mr Leow the other night. I have been telling him how miserable I am feeling. He commented that my siblings don't seem to be taking good care of my dad. And I can't deny that I do have this feeling inside me. After all that have happened, my second sister still went to Japan for two weeks. And ironically, while she was enjoying herself, I was eating porridge with carrots.

I think my little sisters did the best. She took good care of my dad. Being the youngest, yet fearless to clean the wound and the faeces bag for my dad.

I knew my eldest sister accompanied dad to hospital. Financially, she has been contributing to the family. I won't blame her being naggy when i asked to borrow money from her. I do understand her difficulties too. But then I wonder if she did pay for some medical fees for dad or mum.

Before I came over, during the mishap, I paid a fair bits on those specialist consultation. But I guess they won't know, I won't tell them either. I just hope they won't let the ill one pays the medical fees. How miserable? BUT, a probability of 75% tells me that, that might be over their dead body. I know my mum paid for her regular check up if they accompanied her. They don't dig their pocket.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE WORLD?
