paint and ache and poo

if christmas came early yesterday, what was today???

i guess christmas only lasts one day and it is back to reality the next. boy, i thought the day started quite well, but alas, someone up there must have another plan for you.

i had just finished washing my grandpa's trousers because he pooped in it. i guess the tablets he took to make his stool soft this morning worked and he had to go right after dinner and he couldn't hold it. so yeah, i had to washed away the poo before washing his trousers. a first time for everything.

anyway, i dun want to think too much about it. it is my turn to sleep with grandma tonight. my cousin told me that grandma wakes up at 3.30a.m. without fail every morning complaining about stomachache. gosh...please please please....let me sleep. waa...i am already dreading it. and it is my first time sleeping with grandma too. i hope to get few hours of sound sleep before she wakes me up. but then, when i was sleeping upstairs in my room, sleep also lasted only a few hours and i woke up at dawn. and the first thing that came to mind was- is my grandma awake?

my days are much much longer now and my nights are much much shorter ;( how am i going to travel without worry in seoul?

the body is physically tired today because of the painting work.

the initial plan was to paint this new door in the kitchen.

see, i had got my rubber gloves on too. but later, my brother said we had to sand the door first because it is too coarse and rough. so....we moved and

we painted the wooden panels in the living room. goodness....getting the brush into those narrow slits was not easy. cousin kept watch on grandma while we did the work.

you know, now grandpa also needs help to get up from his bed. the foldable bed might be too low for him and i had to prop him up today.
well, this is like 3/4 done. could not finish it since we started late. grandma had visitors just before noon. we only started at noon and ended at 5 since bro had to attend a wedding banquet. he would have to finish the rest tomorrow since i will be in kl with cousin. aaah....escape.....but with some guilt. aunt's maid will be here...so there will be a woman to take care of grandma.
this is the panels before the new coat of paint.
i like the new colour. it makes the living room so much brighter. but wait....we are going to change the colour of the living room too....but i am not sure if my brother will have time to finish it. wait and see lah.

since there is no catered food today, i went out for takeaway at a nearby stall.

char keow teow (rm8) and....
yummy kam heong lala. damn, it was really good. rm15.

ok, time to finish reading the day's paper before i hit the bed. just can't sleep if i dun finish reading.

i want tomorrow to be a better day!
