Venting my frustrations the way I know how......

I just have to get this off my chest. I know those guilty ones would get all upset and defensive. But I don't really care since you don't play your part right.

1. Money does not gives one the excuse to shy away from other duties. Even if you do contribute more financially on certain things (and sometimes you don't), don't order people around like your slaves.

2. Being the majority contributor financially for your child does not make you a good parent. You are merely an egg/sperm donor and ATM machine, if you don't share the other responsibility of your child upbringing.

3. Don't try to brag about those little things you do once in a blue moon when other people are doing it quietly, diligently everyday out of love.

4. Being a senior does not mean you are right in everything and expect the junior to follow your way of doing things.

Money or rank does not make you more superior than others. Of course I know it is none of my business whatever happen between the people involved as I understand most of the time some people are willing to accommodate and compromise due to money or some other reasons. It's their own arrangement.

But I absolutely cannot tolerate when the same things being applies to the other people who are outside the 'arrangement'. Why must others bear with that? And yes, I do know the answer. It's to maintain the peace, of course.

So after venting out my frustration here, guess I just have to suck it up and continue to endure it just like the rest.

Peace.

And I'm Feeling Good...

So I was mentioning about a random act of kindness I did to a stranger this evening and this is what actually happened.

I was on my way home from work and it was pouring heavily and everywhere was jam.

While driving passed rows of bridal houses in SS2, I saw a guy holding an umbrella, a big paper bag and a backpack. He was walking at the side of the busy and wet road very slowly as he was really struggling. He was using a walking aid because I noticed he has polio.

In that split second, I decided to offer him a lift. So I stopped my car at the side (at the front porch of a bungalow (it's a bridal shop), asked the guy where is he heading and I told him I will give him a lift. 

Due to his disability and all the things he was carrying, he was really struggling. Seeing that, I just got down from my car, in the rain, I unload everything from him and put everything in my car while he slowly get into my car. While I was standing in the rain loading his stuffs in my car, and my car did not block the road at all, some drivers actually honked at me and there were a few purposely drove near the pool of water and we were splashed (yes, there are some inconsiderate ppl out there). Sad. :(

Apparently the guy is in his 30's and he is going for his wedding photo shoot tomorrow so he was actually running some errands for tomorrow event.

So after got him and his stuffs settled in my car, I drove him to the laundry and helped him to picked up his shirts for the photo shoot and then dropped him to the hotel he is staying.

It was a simple gesture to help someone who obviously in need of a helping hand, never mind the rain or got splashed by dirty water. It was all worth while. :)
