So I've managed to secure some really old photos. Old paintings to be exact and god knows how much they worth. I'm a little disappointed though, cause my grandaunt, who's about my mum's age, is quite, ignorant to say the least when it comes to art and antiques. My uncle took out a piece of certificate with my great grandmother's photo attached onto it. It's a really old certificate, almost to the stage of tearing apart but still clear, written in ancient Chinese lettering. I was quite fascinated with it, but once it reached my grandaunt's hand, she just tore the photo out and crumpled and dumped the rest of the precious certificate into the dustbin. I was like... WTF??! You ignorant bitch! She's not directly related to me anyway, just.. some distant relative and she has been residing in Australia, leaving her old mother alone here. I don't even know she exist..
As I was eyeing some old stamps in my great grandmother's possessions, I kinda prayed hard that she doesn't tear them off ignorantly. Thank god, she didn't, but the saddest part was, SHE decided to keep them. "I collect stamps!" she said cheerfully, as if she wasn't even perturbed by her mum's death.
I swear I was really really disappointed. I mean, you're going back to Australia! Why the hell do you collect Australian stamps for??! You should be collecting Malaysian stamps! Those 20 sen and 50 sen stamps! Gimme those Australian stamps, damn it!
But out of due respect, I kept my mouth shut, whimpering inside at those poor antiques being discarded ignorantly into the dustbin.
And she seems almost happy when I found some hidden cash in the briefcase belonging to my great grandmother. I mean, yes, I know those money are yours now, but can't you keep that grin off and stay calm until you leave? That's just so rude..
