Change of plans... again. According to that cousin of mine. After they persuaded me to take the flight out to ATL. Lucky thing I haven't book the tix sial. Already I was reluctant to go -SGD707 for a domestic flight (realize how my relatives are all under the impression that I print money?). I don't know what the hell is going on over there. Suddenly the aunt says she wants to move back here and take care of her parents. Lemme just clue you in on my aunt who ran away to Frankfurt for several years, tried to badger her sister for a green card and decided to settle in ATL after which she decides to sublet it out to her dear niece so she can work overseas. That's right, SHE'S A FLAKE. THERE! I've said it. I cannot believe she made my cousin try to talk me into setting aside one weekend from my trip to visit her ONLY for her to tell the same cousin THAT "there has been a change in plans. I decided to succumb to filial piety". Now I wonder what my grandfather said to her because the aunt was never one for filial piety. For as along as I can remember she was the one who couldn't wait to put as much distance between herself and her parents as soon as she could. Drama is rife in this blood. It brews regardless of distance. Thank god for my impassive father. He may be perceived as the assholic uncaring brother but my father knows when it's not worth his while to get involve.
