It's Thursday and nothing much has been done actually. Currently chatting with CheeHong and he tells me that I have the kampung boy look. Pop, there goes my ego boot!!! Anyway, family photoshoot booked this coming Saturday afternoon. Feeling very burnt in my wallet!

Went for movie with Ivan, Moses and Ivan's friend (Calvin/Kelvin) yesterday night. Watched Madagascar 2, which turned out rather disappointing to me. Probably because I was too tired by then. The movie was at 1115pm by the way, close to bedtime I supposed. Having said that, I do enjoy the little comical scenes in Madagascar, like the nipple-pinching old lady. haha!

K-Ma (my foster-mum) went KL today. Will see her in Singapore for Christmas. She's a little slow at her age, often talking about irrelevant things. Quite sad to see that, but I guess age has gotten to her. I just hope she'll be blessed with good health and joy always. She's a simple person, and that's what I like about her most. Easily satisfied and entertained, not chasing after material wealth and all.

Going to visit grandma tomorrow with my dad. Almost got into a heated debate/argument with my mum few days back with regards to this matter. I've nothing against paying her a visit. She's my paternal grandma after all, although I don't feel any kinship with her. What is to say? I have a complicated family background, and though I have paternal grandparents and relatives, it is as if I have none.

You can't expect me now to adore her like a loving grandmother of mine, because that is so fake. Mum ask me to give her some pocket money, which I am very much against. In the first place, I have no liability towards her. I would very much prefer to buy a gift or present for her, but not giving her pocket money.

As far as I'm concern, if I am to give pocket money, it would be to my k-ma. Even if we are not related by blood, as far as I'm concern, she was my mother for the first 7 years of my life. They say blood is thicker than water, but in this case, I beg to differ.

So I'll probably go buy some souvenirs or gift for my grandma, and that it. I'll give her the respect due, and full stop.
