you know how people say when you do things as a family...you unite? well, for our case, we divide...even further. basically, my entire sunday was spent on painting the rooms...(sis and PD came over to help out too)
first, it was impatient dad who started complaining how we slowed down his progress instead of helping because we all suck as painters. then crazy mum had to create a hoo-ha and screamed at sis (god knows for what?!) when she tried to help tidy my parent's room. unhappy sis then packed up and left cos she cannot stand crazy mum. leaving pissed-off me to do all the work with exhausted dad. then, with incessant nagging coming from crazy mum, pissed-off me shot my mouth off at her and triggered yet another wave of tsunami...ok shall not elaborate on that.
we are one big drama family.
poor dad was really tired out by the end of the entire thing. all that climbing up and down has taken a toll on his body... i felt quite bad when i saw him doing all the hard work. it suddenly hit me that dad is really getting old...
couldn't bear to see him working so hard, i volunteered to do all the climbing up and down the high chair (not mountain)... and it totally broke my back (hence the entry title, haha lame i know). it's even harder than all my TKD trainings. and it also hit me that i am getting old too!...not as fit as i was, i need to work out more i guess.
lessons learnt:
1. engage professional painters, do not attempt to DIY
2. painting walls aggravates stiff neck & wrist injuries + creates back injuries
3. do not attempt to do anything as a family
4. shut the fuck up
