it was indeed my worst lny since many years ago. woke up this morning, went for a swim and was about to take a bathe when i noted i had a missed call from my mum. i called back and next thing i knew, she screamed at me and asked why i had not gone there (to my bro's place). was rather upset by the tone and told her off. she had told me last evening to be there for lunch at about noon and after that we would head to the columbarium to pay respects to my dad. and it was only 10-plus and she was already chiding me for not being there. then she gave some cock and bull story that she wanted to go to the temple. i was really pissed off by then as she had never ever told me about wanting to go to the temple. i rushed through my bathe and went straight to my brother's place.
and when i arrived at 11-plus, she behaved like a spoilt kid. she didn't want to talk to me, refused to take lunch, refused to take her medication... and when all of us took our lunch, she went to her room and refused to come out. and after lunch, she said she didn't want to pay respects to my dad. i went to her room and apologize to her but told her that she was being unreasonable in chiding me in the morning for being late when it was not even made known to me that she wanted me to be there that early. and then, she rebutted and said that 10-plus was already considered very late... well, it was clear to me she was simply throwing tantrums and after that she continued refusing to talk to me. and when my brother asked her again if she wanted to go pay respects to my dad, she refused to. and so, my bro's family and i went ahead for the prayers. but even before we drove off, the maid called and told my brother my mum was insisting on heading out of the house and that she said she wanted to go to the temple (another temple and not to one she told me she had wanted to go to). my brother was rather pissed off by her behaviour by then but asked her to wait for him to return.
i came home after all the hoohah and ended up feeling moody the whole day. by evening, as per my routine, i called my mum. and as expected, she refused to answer my call. sighs. so be it. not a very pleasant thing to happen for the first day of the lunar new year. it certainly screwed up the whole mood.
