Inner thoughts

My mum

My mum just told me she bought a pair of sunglasses today, for $99 (Original price was $250)! First thought was she bei4 pian4 liao, it's not branded some more, it's called "POLICE"??!! Must be partially under the influence of her friend cum shi1 fu4, there's no doubt!

Was quite angry when she told me she bought the sunglasses at such a steep price. To me, don't have to buy such an expensive sunglasses since we don wear it for long hours, at most walk to the bus-stop or drive only mah. We're in S'pore, not countries like Australia where the drivers definitely have to wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from the harmful rays. The pair of sunglasses she bought may come with alot of benefits (I'm not sure what benefits though since didn't ask her), but it's not justifiable in S'pore context, that's what I think.

Anyway, don worry, I didn't flare up, just bottled up my anger and releasing my anger now through writing~~~Since my mum got to know her shi1 fu4 few yrs ago, she changed- she pays more attention to her appearance, tries to understand and sees things from our perspective, tones down her temper and is more willing to splurge. Of course, her changes are for the better, but when it comes to spending $, I feel that sometimes she spends $ on unnecessary stuff or stuff which we can buy at a cheaper price, cos' some things doesn't necessarily have to be expensive for it to be better than those cheaper ones.

The thing which pissed me of is I feel that my mum is being manipulated/made use of by her shi1 fu4 although she herself don't agree. Well, it used to be worse in the past when just a phone call from her shi1 fu4 and she will rush over to her house or become her chauffeur and ferry her around. It just hurts me when she has to fu2 shi4 her or listen to whatever she says. My brother, dad and I have told my mum how we feel towards her attitude towards her shi1 fu4 and she did listen to us to some extent, phew.

Anyway will find a chance to talk to my mum before I go to work tomorrow, haiz fan2 ar.
