What Can I say? Patience…

Today I was pissed in the morning.

I was supposed to go pick up my grandmother and my handicapped aunt from Hougang back home to Clementi as their maid went for 10 days leave back to her hometown.

So I woke up at 8 am.

I came out of my room and asked where had my mum gone, and my granny and maid replied that she had gone to pick them up from Hougang.

I was surprised, but wasn’t angry. So I just assumed that my mum had gone instead.

9:10 am. My dad called, asking me to request my aunt (normal one) to accompany me back to help support the old lady and my handicapped aunt up before heading to work.  Then it struck me to ask

“Where did mum go?”

Apparently, my mum had went to the club instead of Hougang. So I went shit. F**K. And it didn’t help it was raining.  Anyway, I still made it in time, 10am as promised. And in just that few moments of  helping get the two ladies into the car, and the jounrey back home and helping them back up to my place, I can really understand what my other aunt was going through staying with them.

Anyway, there goes whatever remaining space I have at home. I forgot to mention my two younger cousins who are staying with them are also over. So my room’s occupied. I’m currently on my laptop at the dining table. I only have it between meals. Sigh.

As the last few minutes of today passes by, I reflected on the day’s events and I’m happy. Simple things make me more than contented on a normal basis, emotionally.

And I couldn’t help but be reminded of Frankie’s song which I had posted earlier, Love’s Been Good To Me.

I’m satisfied and contented with the friends around me. I really shouldn’t ask for more. I felt an inexplicable sense of joy, contentment and peace, but yet I wasn’t like laughing away or skippy in my step. Like Zen.

I guess life is like that. Keep it simple, especially the complexities of work are already bad enough.
