Last Christmas in Wonderland
My last christmas in Avnet wasn't a pleasant christmas.. in fact, I dread it.. something happened during the gift exchange.. My fault, coz I made a mistake.. and maybe I said something that I shouldn't have, but my message was interpreted the wrong way and caused some misunderstanding.. nevermind, I am not gonna illustrate what happened.. what's over is over.. anyway, I have gotten the message quite clearly.. If I am treasured, I would have received more presents than I have given out.. I have made up my mind that this is the last Christmas, and I am happy with no regrets whatsoever =)
My Christmas Day was spent happily in Suntec/Marina Sq with my loved ones.. my hubby, mum, sis and nephew.. I am indeed thrilled to have spent half a day with my nephew, without the watchful eyes of his mum.. we took him out to buy his Christmas present, something we had promised sometime back but never actualize.. he is happy the whole time, getting to eat "unhealthy stuff", such as pork chop, fries and ice-cream which his mother never allowed him to.. my nephew is like reduced to bones now... not being able to eat the food he likes and absolutely no food after 8.. there was some unpleasant scenes when we went to fetch him at his home.. his mother was like all black faced and giving us the "Look".. so we found out that she and my bro had an argument this morning.. then took it all out on the poor son and us.. esp she warned her son "YOU BETTER DUN ANYHOW EAT, ELSE YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE YOURSELF!" The message was so clear to us.. it is a warning to us as well.. I couldnt not feel pity for my nephew..
On the way home, he started to panick as his mother will sure scold him for buying new toys.. when approaching home, he insisted me to keep all the toys as he feared for the mother's reactions.. in the end, he took home 2 of the 4 toys we bought him after being assured by my bro of his "safety".. I really pity him as why would a child feel such fear..? The look on his face is dread.. it almost made me cry... I can't help but feel that his mother is using him to vent her frustration over everything, over us, worrying that we would teach him bad stuff and turn him against her.. what nonsense.. we are also victims of her own frustrations.. and the poorest thing of all is my nephew.. haiz.. although all mothers love their own children, but my sis-in-law has very bad temper and often spout hurtful words at my nephew.. he is too young to understand the underlying messages now, but i hope he will not grow up getting hurt..
