I really can't believe this...

I just woke up and my mother decided to throw a stupid question at me. i personally felt it was stupid..and u guys would have to judge for urself.

its a matter regarding credit cards. and this was wat she asked:
"wats the difference between a visa and a credit card?"

"theres no difference. a credit card can be visa, masters, jcb, amex, etc. its just like singtel starhub m1 is the provider to the service kind." -me

"no...cannot be...the guy told me he is giving me the gold card which is a visa, then the platinum card which is a CREDIT CARD." -mum

seriously, how toot can that guy go? is he trying to tell my mum that only one is a credit card? its plain obvious, that both cards are credit cards. or am i just wrong to assume that a gold card and a platinum card are both credit cards? and if credit cards didn't worked on the common visa and master, wat is that? nets maybe? utter bull. my mum was insisting there's a difference despite me telling her very nicely that its just the same.

she got me quite pissed..becoz her skull is made of stone and nutting can penetrate her ideas. i didn't wanna flare up becoz its seem abit rude to do so the first thing i woke up. but she kept repeating the visa and credit card issue, then i have to ask her "so are you telling me there's a difference between the nets u use from POSB and the nets u use from OCBC? the concept is the same...think bout it..."

haha...i've got a feeling my mum's slow...maybe there's where i got my VERY SLIGHT slowness. i remembered explaining to her the payroll system at synovate for the surveryors cause she seemed interested. i explained twice, till i was about to vomit out some of my internal organs, and even my 11 yr-old brother understood, but she just still couldn't get it. my smart lil brother could even quote her examples with figures. but no...mommie dearest dun understand.

sometimes...i just feel that she is just not acting her age. i know, u guys are thinking i'm not too..especially myboy, but her case seems far worse than mine.
For example, she couldn't/wouldn't...

• go downstairs to the ntuc alone to do some marketing for dinner. she would insist she has company otherwise the whole family shall just starve and survive on canned food for dinner.
• go anywhere when its raining becoz its a hassle to carry an umbrella. for goodness sake...when u gotta go, u gotta go wah!
• go and buy lunch or eat alone or go for her checkups alone.
• stop repeating her stand and it irks us
• accept ur logic and the fact that she is wrong

my mum is just plain stubborn.

she is now like a do-nutting homemaker (reads: idle housewife). oh yeah...and i forget to mention her favourite line she might start using from 8.30pm onwards every single day "today very tired...i wanna sleep early le."

i was quite exasperated when she told me that two nights ago. okie i'm not bitching bout my mum here. i love her lots and i appreciate what she has done so far. but her actions can't account for her words and i couldn't accept it. i just need to let out some frustration. okie back to my point, she did nutting at home on that particular day, except to flip the newspaper and cook dinner. and that was the canned dinner i talked bout. no, she didn't mop the floor. no, she didn't wash the toilets or anywhere in the house. no, she didn't do any laundry. come on, wats so tiring bout your day?

its totally ok when she lamented bout her tiredness when she was juggling work full time at singtel and coming home to cook dinner occasionally. but the cooking stopped ever since i started my second sem without working at Carrefour because I, took over cooking. i understand how working can be so mentally and physcally draining. now...i see no reason for her to say she's so tired and stuff.

my mum's just used to this way of living i guess. even my dad tries to avoid her nagging by playing dumb. but i guess all mothers are the same. they ain't mommies if they dun nag. gosh...i really can't picture myself like that in future. this is freaking depressing to think of, even now!
