All this started with miscommunication and misunderstanding.
On the eve of my mum's birthday, she whatsapped me about having this sum of money in her 'wallet' and asked me to buy something for my mum as a shared gift because she'll be at KL for her friend's wedding. I thought that wedding is once in a lifetime event so I did not think much of it. After that let her know how much. Firstly, she did not even mention that she's going to Phuket next week. She even mentioned buying iPhone4s for my mum! We bought that compressed cooker for mum. I even whatsapped her on the spot telling her we're buying the cooker. When she's coming back she revealed her 'secret' that the money is for her Phuket trip.
No offense, but she could've tell me first right? Then she threw tantrum after I told her I have no money to return whatever money spent and mum immediately knew something was wrong and asked me about it. She came to ask me about it and I spilled the beans. My poor mum went to withdraw money just to return her back. I was like what?! No wonder she still behaves as if my family will protect her no matter what. Mum passed that $70 to her and I immediately went to return her. How could I? I don't take back a gift I have given.
I should've known her pattern!
Thinking that she has become so filial and wanted to really buy something for mum was just my part of wishful thinking. Come to think of it, every time we shared gift to buy for my mum, she fails to pay me back the money. When we decided to share Mothers' Day present (for a samsung TV for $999) two years ago, my sis did not return the money even though it was end of the year. It's sad to say that I shouldn't even believe her anymore. Just ultimately ridiculous and a total joke of the day.
STAY AWAY FROM HER, JOELLE! Don't even think about restoring any sister-kinship with her in any way. Even if you are, she is not willing!
Poor mum has to put up with a notorious bully as a son, and an unreasonable, don't-know-don't-care attitude and likes-to-take-advantage daughter and a husband who likes to complain and spit negativity on life and an elder daughter who doesn't even know how to settle her life with stability and stop making mistakes. Seriously, I don't even know how she survived.

My mum said she's feeling angry not because she paid for it. It's because she contributed more! I was like, how many years have I contributed 100% and she failed to pay any money that she agreed to share? Now she's being calculative?! Then all those money she failed to repay me back are enough to cover all the 'extra' amount she did not return! Seriously. {-.-"} Mum just kept quiet after I spilled my beans again.
Sorry, elephant's memory acting up again. =x
