Do You Want To Know Anguish & Disappointment?

Predictions

I took 2 weeks leave until the Chinese New Year so that I can finish up the Chinese New Year shopping and stuff. I had plans but yet I know that she will find a reason or some circumstances will occur that will end up having her disrupt my plans.

My first suspicion - she will be sick for some reason and stay at home during that period.

My second suspicion - she will take leave out of the blue, and at the last minute to stay at home.

My third suspicion - she will come up with some stuff at the last minute and ask me to do despite already knowing that I will be on leave weeks in advance.

All of my predictions came true!

Sick

She woke up with a neck ache and headache on Tuesday and cannot head to work on Wednesday. I told her to see a doctor and get it fixed and she said okay. I ran some errands, came home in the afternoon, and she told me that she did not see a doctor. She said she is feeling better now, so she will just take leave for the day. It is utterly dumb in my opinion to take leave because you are sick, refusing to see a doctor to get medication (so that you can recover) and of course, get sick leave that you thoroughly needed. Moreover, she is studying part-time, and she needs all the leave she can get for her exams. Well, later that evening, she started complaining about her neck ache and headache again. I offered her advice to see the doctor now but she refused. Would seeing a doctor and getting medical leave earlier in the day or even right now completely resolve the problem already? Yes! I do not know how to describe this - stupidity or just plain laziness??!!

Sick Again

On Thursday, I woke up to find that she is again not at work. She said she is still feeling bad and needed to rest another day so she took another day of leave. There goes another day of leave for her exams. I asked her to see the doctor and she refused, claiming that she will again feel better just sleeping at home, without the aid of medication from a doctor. Again, seeing a doctor, getting the right medication and taking medical leave makes more complete sense. I am extremely disappointed to say the least ...

Disruptions

She needed to visit the ATM machine to get some cash. In the last many days, I offered her at least half a dozen times when we were near or going to pass by an ATM machine, she will refuse citing reasons such as it is very late already; I have no time; I do not feel like going there now. Similarly, she wanted her jeans altered, and I offered to send her there when we have the chance to pass by the tailor on umpteen occasions, but again, she cited the same reasons, which to me, are just plain and lame excuses.

Today, I had plans to go cut my hair and then catch up with some friends I have not met like forever for lunch or drinks. As I went for my haircut, I woke her up and reminded her to take her jeans to the tailor because Chinese New Year is just around the corner, so do it before it is too late. Incidentally, the tailor is just across the road from my house. She said, "I do not want to walk there, later I want to go to the ATM to get cash so drive me to these 2 places." Thats after offering the chance to send her to these places so many times already! Very incidentally again, the ATM machine is also at the market where the tailor is.

Conclusion

Laziness, over-dependence and chao keng! I do not know what else to say!! I am extremely angry, disappointed, frustrated and sad. You are going to fall down and pick yourself up from now onwards - I am not going to give you a helping hand again.
