things afailing

do you sometimes go through periods where you experience all sorts of bad things happening? the kinda experience that you end up feeling frustrated, where everything that can possibly go wrong just go all wrong? the kinda experience that leaves you totally irritated and frustrated? well, i am experiencing that now... some of the things that irk me over the last few days include:

• aunties and family members who come to visit my mum and end up `inspecting' the house and giving suggestions as to where the maid should sleep, what the maid so do... la la la... i mean, wtf rite? i have not even agreed to hiring a maid! and everyone is talking about it as though hiring a maid can solve all problems! and to top things, everyone is giving suggestions as to how i should spent my money...

• sister that says hiring a maid is definitely a breeze for me cos being a person who occupies a senior position in my organisation, it is not possible that i do not have money... that i earn a lot a lot of money... and she went on to tell me that i should replace my kitchen stove, la la la... and when i tell her i may have financial difficulties, she started to ask where are all my savings, and went on to calculate my monthly expenses... never have i felt more intruded in my life.

and of course, the many small but irritating things that adds up to the overall stress level...

• car auto-lock that screws up all of a sudden yesterday

• house flooring tat starts to have `popping' sounds when you step on it... i think the marble flooring needs a change after 10 years

• kitchen stove that explodes (one single outlet)

• sofa that, after 5 year, begins to tear

• reclining chair in the living room that, also after 4-5 years, begins to tear

• clothes dryer that suddenly stop working

anyway, it just seemed like everything that can possibly screw up, is screwing up... and they are all screwing up altogether! and admittedly when things like these happen, i get irritable, and will start to pick of small things... and will them irritate me further... suddenly it seemed like my dog is shedding a lot more, suddenly it seemed like my car is more dirty than usual (and i really think so)... suddenly my room is more messy, my living room needs a sweep, my kitchen needs a wash, my bed needs new bedsheets, and the list goes on and on and on and....

arghhh!
