Few Days of 'Hectic-ness'

12 Feb:
1) Mum's birthday but ended up none of her sisters organized anything for her (usually they would organize a dinner celebration for her), ended up I had to organize one for her last minute and my dad didn't turn up as he felt that he had other important things to attend to. Ended up, mum got really mad at him.
2) Mum finally invited Desmond up to the house for the cutting of her birthday cake. That is a blessing as it means she has finally and slowly accepted Desmond as a family. Thank God!
3) My bestie's boyfriend/fiance of 4 years broke up with her via 'LINE' text. Some would say it is an expected ending for this couple as they were constantly quarreling and unhappy with each other's character over the years. Their argument can get pretty nasty and violent, at times ending up with both of them getting bruises all over. However, at this point, my bestie fell into depression, (Who won't?)
5) Ended up losing sleep worrying about my bestie and feeling her hurt. She was there when I went through my separation and divorce, understanding my predicament as she is a divorcee too. So her break up is akin to divorce. (She was engaged to him, just that they never got to discussions of any concrete ROM plans due multiple factors, such as poor timing and of course, they also slowly fell apart.)

13 Feb:
1) Those who knows me that I totally hate any 'Friday, the 13th'. My previous marriage ended on a 'Friday, the 13th'.
2) Had a busy clinic day with full patient load.
3) Found out that Desmond's insurance policy got cancelled due to some missing information since Oct 2014 and that the insurance agent didn't inform us. I called his insurance agent only to be met with poor service attitude from her telling me that Desmond isn't her only client and don't expect her to fore-go any CNY plans to settle this issue as she is already on CNY break/leave.
4) Received a call from a close guy-friend telling me that his Filipino wife is intending to leave him after getting her USA work permit. She still haven't forgiven him for not announcing their marriage to his mum when they were newly married and when she stayed with him He didn't tell his mum as he didn't want his mum to get a shock out her life. His mum didn't like her and also didn't know her well enough to accept her as a daughter in-law. The both of them got married in Philippines after 1 year of knowing each other. This is his second marriage.
5) Helped bestie to pack her stuff from her ex-boyfriend/fiance's place until nearly 11pm. She was visibly upset and cried a few times while packing and clearing her things. The process of packing things and leaving reminded me of how I did the same years ago as I left my ex-husband's house. That pain of knowing it is all over, that horrible sick feeling, that anger of betrayal, that sense of last pride to maintain composure, that sadness of how things had ended and that seething hatred seeing the man whom you loved face to face,
6) Ended up I lost sleep yet again thinking about my own relationship, fearing history will repeat itself again and empathizing with my bestie yet again. She thought this relationship would last for her and she fought hard to compromise to his selfish requests, tolerating all his ego and prideful behaviour.

14th Feb:
1) Worked for the first half of the day.
2) Dated Desmond for the afternoon and evening to spend 'couple-time' in celebration of Valentine's Day. But my heart and mood was still a bit dampened by thoughts of my bestie and my close guy-friend's cases.
3) After Valentine's dinner, headed back to help bestie do the last packing and shifting of all her things out of the ex-boyfriend/fiance's house. This time, the guy cried and hugged her good-bye, wishing her all the best in her future. (Crap!)
4) My bestie has became my God-Sister. Now I have 3 God-Sisters and all 3 of them are my secondary school mates! I was born an only-child and now I have God-Sisters! Elated.

Up-Coming 15th Feb:
1) Reunion Dinner with Desmond's family
2) Need to baking CNY chocolate chip cookies

PS: I haven't patch things with my dad as I am still mad at him. Now that my mum is mad at him too, good luck to him!
