Today is my bad luck day.. sigh.. bad things keep happening. Everything is like making my day upside down... A mess.. A real mess...
My aunt's car got broken-in. The window behind the driver seat was broken. I cleaned it up this morning with my WHOLE family. One of the neightbours said he's got broken-in for 4 times. Nothing was lost..(coz I had nothing in the car) I don't know why the bloody stupid thief broke the car. And strangely enough, the alarm of the car didn't ring!!!!!!!! What does it for then??
Dad and Charlie got to work, and I drove the got-borken-in-but-cleaned-up car to Martin's summer school. Obviously, He was late this morning. Anyway, I first decided to go to my aunt's house to give her a phone call, then go to the police office and ICBC after sending Martin to school. Damn.. What did I do wrong , my God?? Steam came out from the engine while I was on the way to my aunt's house. I wanted to be a crazy gal and scream out loud... but no, I didn't do that ..mom was sitting besides me, and she looks bad from the ache of her left leg and worrying about the car.
I didn't pray coz I know it wouldn't help. And I guess that is why I don't want to be a 100% Christian. Something you have to do it yourself instead of praying all the time. Praying is just to make you feel better. I don't mean to be rude, but hope you are understanding how worst the day I have. Anyway, I called uncle Leung, and he rushed to where I was in about 10 minutes. He poured water into the radiator and started the engine again.... stream keep coming out... blah blah blah ...Don't wanna mention the details...
ICBC gave me a paper and said I can get the glass installed in any autobody stores I want. Luckily, becoz of ICBC, I just need to pay $100 for the broken glass. But then the garage said they don't have that kind of "cheap" glass... they only have the "high-class" glass...Fuck off. And about the steamy engine, they said it costs around $600 to fix it. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I didn't have anything fixed.. I drove the car back to my aunt's house, and wait until tonight when my aunt wake up and phone her again. I need a long talk with her.
What I can suggest is that she should buy a new car.. This car has had a lot of troubles since the first day my aunt bought it. Last year, one of the door locks was broken from a car accident. My aunt didn't get it fixed coz it costs $600 to have a new lock installed... Another $600.......sigh..
Anyway, I've received an email from Debby. Thank you so much.. HUG*

And yes.. long journal, eh? Becoz of the broken window, I can't stay at my home. I have to stay at Martin's home again... That makes a lot of inconveniences. Lots of strange things have happened in Martin's house.. Starnge sound, Big rock at the backyard are in different place everyday..(none of us has moved them), bugs everywhere...I'm scared.

I apologize if my journals make you sad these days. but well.. My mom had a low back pain yesterday. Her co-workers drove her home at around 15:00 and she looked really pale. I called Charlie, and he rushed back to home in 30 minutes. (He must be over-speeded) Then we sent her to the doctor. The doctor gave her some pain killer and a paper for the physiotherapy. Today, she and I went to the physiotherapist by cab. The treatment seems doesn't help her any, but made it even worst. I massage her back and put 2 hot pads on her back. I guess it will help the pain. What else I can do for her?? Please tell me.
And holy crap... I drove the got-broken-in-and-has-a-broken-radiator car to the Grandcity Autobody, and they said they don't repair a radiator. Soooo.... therefore.....I went to Speedy instead... This guy, Troy, the engineer, seems never smile.. well who cares?? He said it costs $387.60 to have a new rad install.. and I think it's a good deal... Anyway, the car will be ready for me by 10 tomorrow. Well...I got to go.. mom's calling me..

Finally, I can sit down and rest. It's been a long day... hmm not really.. but I'm very tired. Mom's been doing well with her back pain, and it's kind of encourging. She has to have these 2 hot pads with her all the time. She didn't take the pain-killer this morning, and she can still handle the pain. So, I think this is a good sign that she is recovering the pain by herself.
And.....I'm broke. I've been spending a lot recently. No.. I didn't go to parties or movies..(even I am so much wanted to) I tried to pay my mom's medical fee. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money for it.. don't worry.. I'm just saying I don't have enough.. but Charlie has.. My dad and mom have money.. They can pay. And I think I am starting to understand why my mom always worries about the money. Coz when you're sick, it seems to take forever to pay the medical bill. (A long bill) until the day they squeeze all your money.
And oh yes.. I closed the #16 essay in my private property coz I suddently remembered that my cousins may read it. They don't check my website daily, but quite frequent..so I better control myself of writing stuff of my mom.
