life's a long run down the lone highway....without shoes

It does seem eons since i last logged in an article in my little diary. And i'm hella surprised that my counter's hit beyond the 200 mark. There ARE people reading my blog! Cheesy and corny as it sounds, THANK YOU for making my day!

Life's become unbearable. Very unbearable. As all of you might have known, i'm currently in the midst of my vacation job. Vacation job = Putting on a smile in face of an unreasonably whiner-hella-of-a-tourist. The Company should provide anger management or stress relieving sessions for Customer Service Personnels like us. To heat things up, there's always the i don't-want-to-see-things-lying -around-whiner-hella-of-a-boss. Work's unbearable. Returning home after work's worse.

My Mum's mentally sick. And believe me, you would rather have one whose got cancer than one whose boinkers. Think i'm too much? Even my Dad says that. She's practically screwing everybody's life up. She's made a police report on spousal abuse, she's visited all family service centres within 10 km radius, she's kept to her i-must-see-doctor routines 3 times weekly, she's told everyone she's treated worse than a maid...Everything, except to go seek treatment with a psychiatrist. Sue Townsend could have written about me rather than Adrian Mole.

She should be in a mental hospital. At least there's a chance of her getting better. At least everyone would have lived happier at home. She thinks she's a rich Tai-tai who needn't do household chores. Hell that. She seldom cooks, does the laundry and ironing only when she feels like it, damages all electrtical appliances at home including my modem and phone, spends $100+ on doctors every week even though she's not sick, spends $200+ on legal fees every month for changing her name, pawns jewellery only to claim them at a reduced price, speaks to herself morning till morning, loudly...And she claims she's worse than a maid! A maid would have done laundry and ironings, would have cooked, would not have spend money on redundancies, and most importantly, would have kept her mouth shut!

I totally get pissed off when a social worker calls me up. Hell them. Try living with my family for a month and i assure you will beg the Devil for solace.

Do i sound damn pissed right now? Hell i am. Probably, the only thing that accompanies me are my books. Due to extreme pressures in Life, i've recently turned to books to keep myself sane. Haha. Well, i used to do lots of reading when i was younger. Then i stopped because i couldn't really manage my time properly. (Plain excuse, isn't it?) But, i'm back with a vengence. I've just completed two books: that Da Vinci thingy and another, The Book, The Film and The T-shirt....something like that...am reading the Alchemist now. A pretty girl was reading one of Coelho's books and was telling me how good and inspirational his books were. I do need lots of inspiration to date chics like her i felt...Haha.

Poor as i am, i could not afford books. Libraries are one hella-of-a-place to borrow books which you are interested in. They're always loaned out. One just can't help but wonder if there's a conspiracy there. Maybe the Libraries had an agreement with major bookstores: Books are always loaned out so much so to the extent you're so damn pissed and impatient as you are, would have succumbed to the temptations of the major bookstores. Well, i didn't want to buy books cause i don't have a very big house. So, i rent them. Quite expensive though - about half the price of a brand new one.
