It never ceases to amaze me at the audacity and thick skins of some people who has this chip on their shoulders about the other inhabitants of the planet owing them big time. My neighbour who has seven children (aged from 1 year to 15 years) seems to think that just because I sometimes do buy some Milo or chocolates for her children, I am a sucker for all her sob stories. I have many a time refused to loan her money as I do not believe in lending or borrowing money. Over the last few months, the asking has somehow turned into a weekly demand of how I just MUST loan her the money or her children will starve!
Now this lady's children all have their own handphones and they have the newest Panasonic HDML DVD player, a PS 2 and a tendency to stay away from school. They run wild all over the apartment block, litter all over the place and are rude too!
Sometimes I wish I could afford to just move from here. I really hate this apartment I am staying in. The funny thing is that my block seems to have the most problems in the maintainence of the water tanks, corridor and landing lights, general cleanliness and lost mail! I have checked with the other tenants/owners of apartments in the other blocks and all's well there! Sigh!
Christmas is round the corner.....I have decided that this Christmas, it will all be about family...I mean my small family, my hubby, my daughter and I. I am getting very disgusted with the whole commercialised concept of Christmas. Each year, I spend quite a bit on presents and food just so Christmas is a good time for all. Well, I am tired of having to be the one who does all the cooking, shopping, wrapping and giving of presents and receive nothing back in lieu of thanks or appreciation of the long hours I spend labouring over the food only to have guests turning up late or not turning up at all and spoil the mood in that process!
So this Christmas, we have decided that we will only buy gifts for each other and our daughter, go out for dinner on Christmas Eve and have a free and easy Christmas Day just lazing and relaxing at home!
So happy Advent and Merry Christmas!
