Hihi, the red wall is Hibiscus...think it's from Nippon as well...

Yes, I promised myself to be there for him either financially or emotionally. I've helped taking care of him since he was a baby and I dote on him alot. It would be sad to see him grow up as a wayward kid because of such an incident. My hubby and I had intially wanted 2 kids of our own. Because of this incident, I told my hubby that if it comes to a point that the responsibility of my cousin falls entirely on my shoulders, I'm willing to just have one kid of our own. He understands that too and I'm grateful for his understanding. Right now, I'm adopting a wait-and-see attitude first. I hope his mum will wake up her idea and come back. Thanks for the support Even as I'm typing this, I feel like crying too...

Ya I understand that too...to me, a child's heart is very vulnerable, I never gave empty promises to a kid. If I promise something, I made sure I kept my word, otherwise I won't promise anything. I already discussed with my hubby and he's supportive of me taking over the responsibility to look after my cousin too. It hurts me to see a child growing up in such an environment, especially so when he's so close to me. To me, a child is a heavy responsibility. Aside from providing him the material needs, the emotional needs are of utmost importance too. I do not understand how come some ppl can give birth to a child and then refuse him the right to have a happy childhood. To me, if you don't understand what having a kid entails, then don't give birth. It's very irresponsible to just enjoy the baby making process then forsaking the child when he's born. Children are always innocent. They didn't choose to come to this world. They also didn't choose to be with the kind of family they're in. It just pains me to see children growing up in a such an environment. It's always very traumatising to the kid. Right now, I'm just waiting to see if his mum will come back. I've a bad feeling that something's going to happen. I just cross my fingers. To me, she's just an irresponsible "mother", if she ever has been one. She had 3 kids but haven't bothered to look after them. She just enjoys the baby making process. A 40 year-old woman with the mindset of a 14 year-old teenager. I just feel so sad for my cousin and so angry with his so-called mum. I've told my cousin that he ever faces any problem at school, he must come to me. The least I can do right now is to let him feel that there's someone who still cares abt him despite the heartless departure of his mum. I don't want him to feel so traumatised by the incident that it leaves a scar in his memory. He doesn't deserve that. In fact, no kid should ever deserve that. Unfortunately..... Sorry for the long post...I just hv to get it out of my system. My mind has been filled with this incident for the past week. Everyday my heart just grows heavier and heavier for my cousin...

Wah if it's me, I will use the umbrella to trip his bicycle or push him so that he will fall from his bike...then after that, throw his bicycle down the drain like devilaz....

Ya I understand that if I were to do that, I can forget abt maintaining good terms (if any) with my auntie. I'm only very sorry for my cousin. I suspect his mum had abit of mental illness caused by eating too much slimming pills. My cousin's now living with my grandma and the responsibility of taking care of him now falls entirely on my grandma. His mum had never given any money to my grandma despite having to take care of my cousin's needs. I'm just sad to see him living under such conditions. Haiz... His mum had now left home and I hv already told my grandma that if my cousin faced any problem at school or in need of money for school, she must inform me. , at least I can do whatever I can to help him. I hope he won't be too traumatised with what's happening to his family. Thanks yoongf

I used sandstone for my living room. Cannot touch up. The only way is to repaint the whole wall. Touch-ups will only make things worse cos will be one patch here one patch there.

Love the green room....so soothing! Matches very well with your flooring

Dun say lamp post, even hit a tree also got to pay for the tree's medical bill...

Got another question....is fostering different from being a guardian? To be a guardian of a child, do we need to apply officially?

WAHHHHH........ Wah very chio car!! Now hooked to watching Top Gear with my hubby...they introduced a lot of fast cars....v interesting show!

Ya I understand that...but this family a bit problematic....mother doesn't dote on kid and doesn't seem to want to take care of her child...kp abusing her child and denied him food and drink...end up my grandma took care of his daily needs....father went abroad supposedly to do business but ended up having a wife and kids there and seldom came back to singapore...my cousin very poor thing, v smart kid...very sad to see him end up in a family like that...can't bear to see his education suffer as a result...I was thinking since his parents don't want to take care of him, I will take care of him...I guess would be a troublesome process so wondering if can do it officially just in case his parents one day divorced and want to claim custody, none of them would be able to get him if guardian objects. I can't bear to see him end up with either one of them...

It's a cousin actually...his mum and dad unable to provide for him. I'm thinking of applying to be his guardian. He will be in primary 4 next year. I'm wondering if it's possible. Would appreciate your advice!!

Hi, I urgently need help on this. Anyone has any idea on how to apply to be a guardian for a child? What are the procedures and which govt department is in charge of this?

Precisely lor...if someone offers me a seat, I'd gladly take it!! I will just happily sit down...if they think i'm pregnant then so be it lor, i dun care. Why scold ppl right? Sometimes the look on their face also tells whether they are having difficulty standing, of course must be the elderly lah...not some auntie who is still fit fit able to stand on her own kind. I thought of this before then I thought I don't want their skin cells to be stuck in my ring leh...the thought of it is very disgusting. I'd rather use my knuckles...my knuckles rather sharp

Dun think transport is going to improve. They building more flats here means more dust will float around. sianz...

My friend's colleague kena this before. She was in the train early in the morning and you know how crowded it is...then one lady with a big tummy came and stood in front of her, my friend's colleague, out of kindness, offered the seat to her. The lady became v furious and started scolding her. She d am n pai seh cos everyone turned to look. If it's me, will feel offended lah, but since got seat then why not? Just sit down lor...y must scold ppl? Ppl also kind-hearted what...it's this kind of ppl that most ppl now dun really dare to give up seats...then ppl complain we are un-gracious society....what da?!? Nowadays when I see big tummy lady, I will yan jiu very long at her tummy before I offer seat cos don wan kena scolding

Haha....then there are those who like to stick to you like glue when there's still so much space in front, they just kept go-stun and go-stun till u duno where they want to do until you got no space to move. For this kind of ppl, I usually hold on to the hand grip on the horizontal poles then pull far far, when train stops, I let go....they will look back and stare...i just look away and di gong...if crowded train then bo bian lah...not crowded u keep on go-stun for what?!?! Irritating leh...dun wan to smell their hair... I got a friend who once boarded a very crowded train and she was already standing at the doorway, then one auntie squeezed in and started to lean herself on my friend's chest...my friend said she v heavy..can't breathe...the auntie treats my friend as cushion ah... Tell the cuplrit "ehh halo, can you move abit to your left? I want to take your pik cher. This angle I can't take lah"

that's a good idea! Probably can post snapshots of such disgusting acts... Unfortunately, however, some ppl are either oblivious or obnoxious

Ya and those who chiong into the train the moment the door opens, don't understand what the yellow lines on the floor are for. Ma chiam first to chiong in got prize like that. There was once I was in the train sitting down then this woman came and stood in front of me, she then took out her nail clippers and started clipping her nails....wah lau @#$%! She nvr thought that her dirty nails might drop on my feet leh...basket! I glared at her and think she pai seh quickly put it away....so inconsiderate and unhygenic Pai seh devilaz, got OT or not?? Supposed to talk abt mrt drivers right? but we talking abt mrt passengers...hehe...chum i think i OT alot....cyclist thread talk abt mrt, mrt driver thread talk abt mrt passengers
