Out of the blue..

I suddenly feel very restless. Perhaps it is due to the upcoming day when I will fly off to Melbourne. It makes me wonder how I will adapt myself there. _{*Background song: I’m Leaving.. on a jet plane.. La La la~~*}

Up to date, I have yet to finalise my accommodation and prepare a list of ‘Things to Bring to Auz’ to be submitted to my dearest Mom. She seems to be more edgy than me on these matters. Apart from that, I still have to chase my ex-firm on my last payment, collect Mom’s cheque book, get the Jusco gift voucher, finish up compiling some albums, pack my room, book the Bali hotel and send my lovely Granny (Po Po) to her friend’s house.

Talking bout Po Po, just minutes ago she and I had a debate. I won with hands down but yet.. Sigh..

Anyway, the conversation was like this:

- Conversation took place in the car –

Ivise: Po, I’ll bring you to the doctor tomorrow k? You have been coughing for a month already.

Po Po: Yeah sure. Bring me to Dr.Chong.

Ivise: But Dr.Chong’s medicine is not that effective. Why don’t I bring you to the clinic beside it. The one with the Indian doctor. _{(Said in a very nice and casual tone)}

Po Po: What do you mean Dr.Chong is not good?! I have taken his medicine for a week and he’s such a sweet doctor. We chat very well. _{(Feeling agitated for no reason)}

Ivise: You have taken his medicine for a week and yet you are still coughing. This shows that the medicine is terrible. And besides, you are paying him for the medicine not for chat.

Po Po: I don’t like the Indian doctor. I can’t communicate with her! _{(Still very stubborn and give me that I-am-right look)}

Ivise: Again, you are not going to the clinic to chitty-chatty! Why on earth do you want to go see a doctor who’s not good enough to give you the right medicine? You print money from the house is it? _{(Losing her patience and starts to raise her voice. It is a common thing when I need to highlight an issue to my Po Po)}

Po Po: It is not the medicine’s fault. It is mainly because I still eat all those oily food and didn’t drink enough water.

Ivise: _{(Feeling bravado and still raising her voice..)} There you go! You know you are already coughing, yet you are still so stubborn to eat everything. You want the whole house to worry about you is it? Ask you to go see doctor is like asking you to go pull a tooth out! * My kakak decided to support me on this by adding some words of encouragement*

...... Silence for 5 seconds...

Po Po: ITS MY LIFE LA! _{( expressed with full blast and a very pitchy voice)} Don’t let me caught you getting sick and refuse to see the doctor. I’ll insult you to the maximum then.

-End of conversation =.="-

So you see, although I win the debate, my Po Po still wants to have the last word. Worse still, she ended it by threatening me! All because I want to bring her to a better Doctor. Sigh.. My life is indeed a challenging one.
