Turns out Cindy is trying to get extra copies of my dad's death certificate for herself, or asking for a couple out of what I should be getting. I mean really...what does she need them for? Back in the spring, she had asked for one as if it was for sentimental reasons. But now that she wants two copies? Too suspicious.

I'm not sure if the agent told my family about her request, or if she actually said something to my aunt. I think the former is true.

I had a good stagette (aka bachelorette) party this weekend...more on that later. Having my cousin call me literally right before I left and during my trip to discuss these matters really put a damper on my getaway. I mean I was only gone for one full day. First, it was to tell me what Cindy was trying to do. Second, it was a strong recommendation that I get a lawyer to draft a letter saying only my aunt or cousin can obtain my father's death certificate.

What I am uncomfortable is that this was a whole telephone game thing. Did you ever play that game as a kid? One person comes up with a sentence and whispers it into someone's ear. Then that person whispers what they think they heard into the following person's ear, and so on. At the last person, he says out loud what the sentence is. It's always something totally different from what the first person said.

My cousin told me that Auntie #5 called Auntie #3 who told my cousin to tell me that #5 is highly suspicious that Cindy is going to do something later on and that I should get a letter written. I don't know why #5 would come up with something like that out of the blue. Did she talk to Cindy? And why didn't she say something to me directly.

I hate having all this family involved...having #5 call me regularly to be nice to Cindy as to not piss her off so she doesn't get all mad and greedy...Did that really do anything? Not really. Right now, I'm just playing it cool with Cindy and being the same as I was before. #3 who didn't want to finish taking care of the details in the first place so I had to leave it to Cindy after I left Hong Kong. It would have really helped if I didn't have to rely on Cindy in the first place. She is still holding on to my Dad's (cancelled) passport and his Hong Kong ID, too.
