To update or not to update?

My daughter asked me "When are you going to update your blog??"

Hellooooo...you dont allow me to read your blog and then expect me to update you on my life??? it is not like we are away from each other! whatsapp me if you want to know! which reminds me of my niece asking to borrow some money for her almost-free trip to Osaka through whatsapp. We share the same house! helloooo....

What should i write about? How panicky i feel whenever i think of the assignments and thesis that i have to do? Almost forgot to drop my passenger at her LRT station due to the anxiety i felt when we discussed about exams. why do i do this to myself?? at my age, i should be just relaxing, enjoy my life, play zombie games, go travel and live off my son. I guess some people just cannot stay still. I envy friends who are contented playing house. My aunty is my role model. She is 85 years old yet can cannot stay still at one place. She still walks briskly. Being a mute does not even stop her from being active.

Doc said i should go on Livial. Knowing me, i would keep forgetting to take the pills on time. Let us see if there will be any improvement. He seemed abit subdued talking to me; possibly because of the presence of my daughter. Previously he couldn't stop talking; almost had to excuse myself.

okay, baby girl, Ibu will blog maybe two weeks from now..if you like following the antics of a middle age menopausal woman....

Maybe i will add some fiction so you wouldnt know which is real and which is fiction, eh? ;)

Standing at the door step of the New Year 2014

Where was i on new year's day? Seriously, i can't remember.

The day must have been "same-old, "same old" until i couldn't remember what had happened. I was just preparing to sleep at my usual hours until i reopen my laptop and noted a conversation going-on in FB about a friend's friend's employee who had came to work after a 2-day absence. The boss suspected  a date violence going on. Tried  calling B several times as the shelter's key was not in my keeping. Did felt a niggling guilt for bothering her at such an hour. Thank God she didnot pick up the call, thus forcing me to drive to PJ. Daughter was kind enough to accompany. The poor girl seemed a lit bit off; her speech slurred and her arm in a sling. She wouldnt look me in the eye and i could hardly hear what she was saying. She rejected both my offer of taking her to the police station or the hospital. We waited until she entered her house compound before leaving for home. It was past midnight when we reached home.

Many questions in my mind.

There is only a window period of 10 minutes;the journey  it took from her place of work and  to her house, to build trust in order to gain information. Where and how can i help? I felt  helpless not being able to do more. Imagine if she is my daughter..

I am glad that my year 2014  started with an opportunity for me to assist a stranger; albeit so little that i could do. I believe i had taken the right path to start my new year. All Praises to the Lord.
