The Root Of All Evil [Part I]
I know I haven’t been updating much for about 3 months.. A whole lot of things happened these last few months. Let me recap and summarise them all. As you all know, my dad passed away. It’s been almost 3 months now. I still have yet to get over it. A lot of people say I’m strong. I guess some people handle things differently.. I still lead a normal life, doing my normal routines, go out, etc.. I do seem normal on the outside but what people don’t know is what happens behind closed doors. Fact is, I’m still sad and angry. I just can’t seem to let it sink in. I still cry whenever I think of him. Ok, let’s move on..
Ever since the death, a lot of things have happened. He left behind some assets and there were too many things to be settled and still have yet to be settled. I hate my dad’s younger sister, M, whose unruly behaviour surfaced in many ways since the day of death. I even had a fall out with her cos I couldn’t take it anymore. She blamed and scolded me for something that wasn’t my fault. I defended myself and she couldn’t take it so she severed all ties with me. Bid deal! It’ll seriously save me some drama and I don’t need any in my life. So recently, we met a hired lawyer. And during that meeting, we lay out everything on the table. Last week, the lawyer called us down for a meeting, which we failed to turn up because we had planned to postpone the meeting to a later date as the documents we were asked to prepare earlier were not ready at the time. The lawyer understood and agreed to reschedule another meeting once the documents are ready.
Guess what?? On the day itself, somebody got a call from M’s husband who wanted to “advise” us that the lawyer is going to take legal actions against us because we’re delaying the process. PLUS, they wanted to have us up for criminal breach of trust. ALL THIS JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T GET YOUR MONEY THAT DAY??? That day when he and his wife took their leave and had to leave empty-handed?? He even had the cheek to say to me, “Why are you doing all this? The money is not that much.” HAHAHAHA! I almost cried laughing. They have finally showed their true colours. They think we’re like them, who’re after money.. It had the word “Money-faced” slapped all over their faces. And it’s not even their money. It’s actually my grandma’s. He did call me after he called that person. He did warn me but it wasn’t in a rude tone. Although it was enough to piss me off. So, I was shocked when that person told me that he was rude to that person and they even had a tiff.
So later that night, I texted him and told him straight to his face, asking him not to worry and that my grandma WILL get her share when the time comes and to be patient. I also assured him that we WILL NOT spend any part of the money till everything’s settled and not to accuse us of anything ever again. Up till today, there’s still no reply from him. And all this while I thought he’s different from his wife. I guess I was wrong. But well like I said, no loss! And to think that before this, M, was all out pretending to protect our interests… She really make me sick in ass (stomach is too proper for her). And after all this, I have to see their faces later. I just hope I won’t puke.
Stay tuned for more drama…

I’m sorry to hear that Cashmere. Well…human nature right? I’m sure you missed your dad a lot. Likewise I missed my mum a lot too..until today I still cried.
These so-called “good” people who care nothing but the money is really a nuisance. I will quarreled with them too if they have gone overboard. Anyway patience Cashmere.

So sad about your Father, money, or should I say the love of money is the root of all evil and brings out the true colors in a lot of people, but the righteous will prevail, good luck.

@ Kriscell
Thanks.. I sure hope all this will clear up soon..
@Tekkaus
Yeah, these people are just too much.. Sorry about your mom.
I hope time will heal everything.. God loves our parent more..
Btw, thanks for adding me.. I’ve include yours too..
@ECL
Thanks ECL.. It is kinda hard for me.. And those people are NOT helping.
@Monica
Thanks babe!
@Rad
Not a tough day.. more like tough months!
@Bob
Yeah, I agree.. To be honest with you, this is my first time experiencing about this money thingy.
And now I DO BELIEVE it when they say money is the root of all evil.
Look on the bright side, at least they’ve shown their true colours and let us see clearly who they really are and the purpose behind all those “helps” given.

OMG! What a thing you had to go through and are going through now! Sorry to hear about this, but M is such a b***h!! And her husband is a bloody b*****d!
I hope you will be patient and strong to face all these and I am sure you will get through.
And it’s good you blog about it, at least you don’t keep it all to yourselves, which is pretty unhealthy. Count on me to read your rantings! : )
August 24th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Honestly, your story can be made into some sort of TV soap opera or drama! LOL!
Wow! This post is Part 1, so hopefully I can get to read Part 2 soon! : )

@Foongpc
I don’t think I wanna see their faces anymore..
I believe I’ve been patient enough with their childish acts.
It’s supposed to be 2-parts but since sth just came up, I’m splitting into 3 parts.
And actually even though I blog about it, I still feel pissed whenever I talk or even think about them.
And yeah, haha… I have the same thinking as u.. I could have been a millionaire by now..lol! ;P
August 25th, 2009 at 8:36 am
i agree, that is where it hurts the most.
you take it easy there.
though we can’t be there for you physically,
we will always support you emotionally in the blog sphere. =)

It must be very difficult for you facing family politics, do take good care of yourself, don’t let the anger and hate get over you.
Had a bit of extended family politics too, hope it doesn’t spill out of hand & into the public, won’t know where to hide.

@Levian
Thanks so much.. I appreciate it.
@JH
I hope it won’t go public of course.. but I’m very sure they have told everybody
how rude we are and how we wanted to run off with the money. She is known for her foul mouth.
August 26th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
Money is never a root of all evil.
The LOVE OF money is.
Welcome back Cashmere. Looking for a good news about your situation.
August 31st, 2009 at 1:24 am
I’m so sorry all this is happening when you are trying to deal with your dad’s death. Some people!! Maybe this isn’t the best time, but I wanted to let you know you have an award at my blog. If you can’t post on it or anything I totally understand. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you.

@VanillaSeven
Thanks VS! I want good news too..
@Jane Doe
Thanks a lot Jane! Thanks for the award..
I’m a failure really when it comes to awards and tags..

I forgot to say. If money is the root of all evil, then all of us are “evils”. I think it’s the character and attitude of the person are the greatest factor of being good.
Once again, take care Cashmere and Good luck for everything.
