A Mother’s Monologue

Some people I know do just that. It is an unconditional surrender to someone or some people from the ‘other’ side.
Some people, especially the wealthy, may do it because they do not have friends they can trust. It is almost like since they cannot trust anyone to be their true friend, they may as well [...]

After almost suing an orthopaedic surgeon for leaving a foreign body in my wound, I didn’t in the end because he was an old friend’s father. But that oversight had cost me more than ten years of pain.
I had had a bunion operation on both feet involving two slits of four centimetres on each foot and there [...]

I got thirsty. The lizard is behind the fridge. I considered drinking off the tap in the guest bathroom but didn’t have a glass. Who drinks water from cups? It is a pet peeve of mine. I cannot drink water off a cup or a mug. It HAS to be a glass.

She had jumped off the 22nd floor of her father’s apartment without leaving a suicide note. She had called me the day before, from Singapore to London, to chat. The grief that I went through took a long time to heal and till today, a part of me is still missing. I [...]

1996 London - I suffered from terrible migraines. I was a walking log, seeing floating spots, feeling hammers smashing my skull, yet numb on one side of my then slim body :-). Nothing made any sense.

It was very scary. [...]

A subject I’m very familiar with.
Over the years I’ve lost a handful of friends which has saddened me to the hilt. For reasons unknown to me, they just disappeared out of my life, like dust in the wind.
When I was 21, my best friend at UCL killed herself. I didn’t stop crying for 2 whole years [...]

THIS IS A SPONSORED POST 
Since 50% of commenters to-date are questioning the truth behind my previous post about Tom, I thought I’d better respond to clear the air about why I do sponsored posts.
Because I want to become a millionaire from it, that’s why!!! What did you think???
First and foremost, the story of Tom is [...]

I crawled to the gym in my sweatpants today and in fact, when my bag got caught in the grated drain, I was 90% ecstatic that I was ball-chained to the grills like a prisoner and wouldn’t be able to greet a treadmill this morning. Alas, I was fated to meet my friend there. A friend who would [...]
