Emotional

 Recently my mum was admitted to hospital due to lung infection.

On 2nd day of admission she wanted to be discharged.  Subsequently when we visited her the next few days, she kept asking when she can be discharged.

She mentioned that go home is better.

However after few days in hospital, my mum was unable to pass urine the whole day and the doctor decided to insert IDC tube to let out her urine.

Doctor said she can be discharged with the IDC tube and will arrange for her to see the Urologist1-2 weeks later to remove the tube and the care giver has to clear her urine bag daily.

When my younger bro, his wife and I visited her last evening, she threw tantrums and wanted to go home that very night. She then threatened us that if she cannot go home, she will jump down aka commit suicide. Btw she has mild dementia and the “drama” might be caused by her dementia.

Worst thing is that she kept telling gym sis in law off, saying she doesn’t need  my SIL to take care of her anymore, she doesn’t depend on her daughter in law for food and then said my SIL stared at her!

My SIL must be feeling upset over all these remarks and she is a sensitive person.

The last my mum said that my SIL adjusted her legs so hard few days before her admission,  she was upset for a long time. When we visited my mum together, she doesn’t talk to her much and sat at the side which sometimes made my mum pissed off and she remarked her DIL is like a “block of wood”. 

My SIL did heard it and I not sure how she feels!

My the other brother keeps asking us to discharge our mother saying she is okay.  Sigh….

Not sure after my mum is discharged and at home, will my SIL still take care of her with patience.

Will things be the same as before?

I am very perplexed….

Upset with myself

This evening I went to nearby shopping mall to pack our dinner.  While walking inside the shopping mall, I was interrupted by a sales person who wanted to give me a free sample of skincare product.

I said “no” at first and continue to walk but the sales person kept walking side by side with me and pesters me to take the free sample and said something like “it’s free no need to buy anything”.

The moment I took the sample from her, she immediately sprayed something on my left hand and then massage it.  It’s a skin whitening product and she said the product is made of fruits and locally produced.

After that, she showed me into the shop and get her colleague to wash my hand.  After washing, the colleague immediately introduced me to the product and showed me some photos of other customers who used the product and their skin shown improvement.  She continue to talk about the product for a few minutes and in the end I asked her how much is it.

She said it costs $149. I asked for smaller packing but there is only one size. Soon she said if I buy the product she will give me “buy 1 free 1” and said I get to have a free skin analysis and facial.

I told the staff I need to rush off and unable to do the skin analysis and facial now.  She said I can go back anytime to do it.

Without further questions, I paid $150 for the product and left my name and contact number and left the shop to buy dinner. Yes she charged me extra $1!

On the way to buy dinner, I was feeling kind of weird and upset that I have spent unnecessary money on a product which I may not use it.  I should have said “no” all the way even if the sales person pestered me to pass me the free sample.

Yes there  many such shops around in Singapore. They pretend to give you a free sample and after that will start to “sell” their product.  You will feel bad if you don’t buy it and that’s ME!  After buying I will regret a lot and felt like I have been conned.

I hate it…..
