Busway, is just not my way



When the first time the government launched the busway program, I was not enthusiastic. Why? Well, because the route only between Blok M and Stasiun Kota, and not passing my home area. Furthermore, the main road becoming smaller as the part of it was taken away for the busway routes.



Busway, is just not my way.

STRESS

Taking care of my Mom really make me and my Dad and my Aunties get stress... Lately, the doctor said that maybe something is wrong in her brain, as all her other organs are in good condition. And it seems, maybe they are right.

She become agitated lately. Do not want to listen what others has to say. Whenever she demands something, it has to be fullfill in a second.

She has been begging me and my Dad to be released from the hospital. Which of course, we decline her request. We would not want to take a risk by bringing her home and she getting sicker again.

This morning, she was out of infusion, and determined to go the hairdresser near our home. My Aunt has been trying to talk her out of it with no success. The worst part is, the doctor give her permission to leave the hospital for few hours but the responsibility is on our side!

I can't go home all the time whenever she start to whining again. Realizing that her whining because she can't think straight...

I am really tired with this situation. Should I just leave my job or something because I barely can do anything else...

It's okay taking care of her, while she is obidient to us. But with her condition like this, while you can not talk to her because she will never listen to you anyway, really , really, really drive me insane....

I HATE THIS YEAR!!

Be careful with what you wish for

The above line is taken from one of Chris Daughtry's song: HOME. It said becareful what you wish for, 'cause you might just get it all, even things that you don't want...

Well, I do get what I wish for... Loosing weight for about 10 kg since December 2007. But I loose my weight not because I did my diet successfully. But because I am too exhausted taking care of my Mom...

Part of it, I am happy of course. I can use my old pants, dress, skirt,... but I do not have the time to browse the mall, looking for something new to wear... And I can't do that, because my mind is on my Mom... Even when I finally went to wach the movie with my friend, I can not fully enjoy it...

I do not know when she is going to recover... Now, suddenly, my world is getting smaller... All my environment are just my home, office and hospital...

Wondering, if I wish her to get better, what other things that I do not want but eventually I am going to get it?
