Triple 7 day. Should be special.

I got up early and had some basic workout, its been so long since I last do so. I then set off for the Project Workshop in the noon.

I was thinking about implementing QMIS where a SMS would replace a physical ticket, however, it was commented to be built on existing technology, with a "What the difference about your QMIS with the other QMIS in the market?" However, I do see a strong market for this (thx to recent alert to Global Warming) even it may not have much project value... (a proper degree project should be something that will be added to the "World Knowledge")

Anyway, after the workshop, I understood that what I should focus on are the Project Investigation and measuring the breath of the potential projects; not jumping into a certain project and self-justify that it works...

This evening had some interesting issue, 2nd Aunt's Husband rang me up and complained a whole lot deal of how Karen is disrupting his family. While I do explain the situations to him that I have limited capabilities since Karen is not under my direct care and 2nd Aunt is now Karen proper guardian... he then stated "does this means the end?" He mentioned he quarrelled alot with 2nd Aunt over Karen.

Whatever the case, 2nd Aunt's Husband does sound unreasonable at times. He claims that we are happy to see that his family broke up, and how 2nd Aunt is showering all her attention towards Karen that she had neglected her own daughter, my cousin, Wan Ning.

All the while I explained to him that I understood and will try to help, only to get replies such as what can I do with ONLY understand. I did lose a bit of my cool after his irrenlentless unbased attacks, and told him directly what does he expects of me RIGHT NOW, over the phone...

He kept silence... then I proceed to ask him politely what the issue of Karen that he and 2nd Aunt quarrelled about and I also requested for some instances so that I can better analysis the situation and come up with a more concrete solution (as I told him...), however he kept silence and after awhile he requested me to discuss Karen problems with my Gugu's (my father's sisters) and not to disrupt his family anymore. Then he hang up abruptly with a quick "never mind, thanks"

Sad thing, I must say. He did not realise the common sense of married couple and he is dealing with a full grown up. From the short (or long rather) conversation we had, I do sense he had a rather large ego and he like to exercise his "authority and power" and expects all to listen to him. Husband and wife should be understanding and forgiving. For me, I would try to do things for my wife just to relief her of what she desires to do, instead of going in opposite directions and creating more issues... but that just me, a typical Scorpio stereotype I suppose...

Funnily, I felt striking a home run for my late mother and 2nd Aunt for help them to relief source of noise... In the past my late mum helped to convince my 2nd Aunt to marry him after 8 years of courtship (my 2nd Aunt did not want to marry him then), but when my late mum is seriously ill, he only goes as far as to pay a simple visit and that it, full stop. (as quoted from him in the telephone conversation, ironic huh)

Still, he mentioned that Wan Ning medication was missed, which I personally felt is indeed wrong... I think I need to talk to Er Yi (2nd Aunt) regarding this issue mum... not for Karen, not for him, but for Er Yi and Wan Ning...
