The greatest evil on earth has been not greed, but politics.
Not the politician type of politics, but politicking type of politics.
Don't make sense? Never mind. So long as we know and remember, that's fine.
Complainant also politicking. Complaint until sky high, then later pretend to be so 'understandingly' understanding, accepting without any questions all sorts of 'explanation' offered. Yet after that, revert to not believing anyway.
Shitty. All shitty.

I can believe Mother was the original complainer.
I can also understand her anger with the interpretation of the "no, the box was not passed to Sandro, we want to keep it for ourselves" response.
What I cannot understand are some unnecessary comments which you said to me. These comments could have been passed-down comments from Mother too, but you did not specify that she said them.
Therefore it sounded like YOU were accusing Mic/me for hijacking the present and doing the unethical action too.
You also said it reminded you of a dishonest act committed by someone in the past. This part, I could not understand your motive or train of thought. I don't dare to think why you said this about Mic or me.
When I tried to understand the details and offered an explanation, you brushed it aside with "I don't believe you, you also don't have to explain to me".
This is unacceptable response in my opinion. You have passed your judgement without looking or hearing out the other party. I will try to blame it on your legal training (is this remark offensive too?).
I took the trouble to analyse the situation (while at office desk) and tried to assess if it was indeed a misunderstanding.
You may have big stress, having mother at home, with all her complaints. However, I think you contributed to the misunderstanding by also accusing us directly with your refusal to see if it was indeed an miscommunication. You refused also to hear me out. Ok, you gave me the impression of this.
Maybe you meant otherwise.
Does it mean we look like thieves to you?
I am no angel but I try to be fair in all my actions. I was even angry with Mic when I heard your version of the story.
Luckily (for us), we could "prove" that it was all a misunderstanding. We have photos to show the 2 boxes.
In the end, please do not brush this aside as "it is your lousy communication" type of excuse for your own response to my explanation this afternoon.
Also try not to say it was Mother's fault for complaining to you. Or it was Mic who created the misunderstanding.
Mic was UNAWARE of the box which mother bought. I told you that, and you said you did not believe that. You insisted it was not a misunderstanding. Remember your own words?
We barely touched down, and only 1 phone call made this hell for us!
That phone call was meant to assure her, everything is ok. Instead, a present became a bad thing.
We don't need nor deserve such accusation from you nor mother. She could be old and cranky, but you should know better.
I can also predict you will tell me that you will "lay off everything" from now on. That is not the correct solution. Anyway, take care of yourself please.
This comment is meant to show you my disappointment, not intended to prolong any wars.
I had been there when Mother passed the bottle to you personally. You had immediately passed it to M for bringing back to YP's place for packing into luggage days later. I witnessed it. M also acknowledged that it had been for neighbour. In fact, I had been asking her if she wanted some for hersewlf, she said no.
So when she went on to tell the man (who, it seems, had been eagerly asking about the simple gift) that no, none was bought, how are we to understand this?
Forgetfulness is a universal excuse overused though the ages.
The logical conclusion, in the absence of any convincing other thing, is there that this is to mean that the intention is to keep it for self, afterall.
So, how to believe this version of your story?
If I hadn't raised this to you, what would have become of Mother's gift when it eventually surfaced?
This sounds sinisterly accusing, I know, but some things are btter left unsaid. Because like you, I dont want to prolong this thing.
And some more, the gift was so damn cheapskate stuff, it's a shame to be discussing it at all.
One more point that I got to repeat again - if I had meant to politick and 'perpetuate' the ill will, I could have and would have, shut up. Bitching can be done without you ever knowing, you know.
Silence is not always golden. You should be grateful for my sms.
You seem super convinced you witnessed the passing of box from mother to me to mic. I asked mic many many times before I write this. She cannot recall this passing action and neither do I.
We found this gift box inside yellow bag together with mushrooms. I deduce I did not in fact take the box from mother directly and she maybe packed it later on with the mushrooms. Then I unknowingly packed the yellow bags into luggage.
Again you insinuate we intend to hijack this box regardless. It wad by your SMS and discovery that you stopped our intended crime.
Do you ever listen? Mic had bought herself another box!!! She was referring to her own box when talking to mother. Mother was talking about her gif box!
After explaining again and again it makes one think we are now making this up to reverse the damage?
I feel insulted with your latest comment here. You had a chance to end this stupid misunderstanding but instead you convinced youself that you are correct and we are bastards to hijack a cheapo tarts.
I am ashamed to read this from you, my sister.
I seriously think you should seek help. We are not what you think we are. Don't assume you are always right and we are making stories up to cover our backsides. I take so much time to explain because I do not want you to think wrongly. This very act instead led you to think we did sin and now try to cover up. You are absolutely right, the righteous do not fear the dark, we did not hijack nor even intend to. That's it.
Another error. Mother did not talk to Sandro, mic did not talk to Sandro yet since we came back. How can the part which you said the man was asked about the tarts be true?
He cannot speak hokkien leh?
Mic also did not tell mother about any interaction or conversations with Sandro. Simply because we have had no time to talk to him.
So what is it? This part is definitely your imagination or mother's. What can Sandro say even when we did not talk to him? Huh?
Believe it or not, we did NOT plan nor intend to hijack any presents. That is our sincere statement. Both Mic and I are like this.
Ha, great switching of tales yet again about telling neighbour part.
Mother did say that M said neighbour asked, and that she gave a response! In that exact way!
Woah lao man! This is worse than already known.

That I will 'continue to insist' that I said the true things as they had happened until I 'see my casket'?
Well, correction: Even if already inside casket and being burnt in the furnace, it will still be the same. The transaction did happen, the things said/told all real.
The truth will never be extinguished by death. It also cannot be brushed off by 'forgotten' or 'dont know' excuses.
Nor can it be erased by allegations that this was only a fig of my imagination or that 'medical help' is needed.
Nor the latest - that I have some trophy to gain from insisting on the truth.
I am only exasperated that with my back eternally back-stabbed now, there is absolutely no way the truth can ever be proven any more.
Believe what you want to believe, the truth is what I said.
What a truly shitty business.
