Been reading blogs the rotting my life away for the past few days, weeks even. (exam is over and I have 2 months break!). Thought to write SOMETHING in today. Here’s some updates:
1) Got my work contract extended for 2 years (Yippie!) Although the salary still remains the same (aiyah, no results to give to boss how to negotiate with boss for pay increase?)
2) Still attached (surprisingly. And Yes, my bf loves me)
3) Got my DSLR, shall aim for a piano and laptop next (PSP, I never neglect you!). But have set my eyes on Canon S90 already.. *heh heh heh*
4) been fighting with my mother (more of that later)
5) been learning dissection (pretty interesting actually)
6) Got my first credit card (and tons of brochure telling me that the government is watching my EVERY MOVE). Relax people, its a $500 limit card. Haven’t used it at all.
7) Filed my first income tax (ROAR!)
About the mother’s issue. Be it male or female (this applies especially to females), you get older, to nag more. This is a life cycle, and every (and I mean EVERY) child will think that as their mother gets older, she gets naggier. I mean, its normal right? Ican bet with you my whole life’s fortune that my kids (if I ever get one, that is) will think I’m naggy. Even my father thinks my nags are getting annoying. (Must be the “working-life-induced-nags” syndrome again)
But then, its really more irritating to realize that your mother scolds you when, 1) she said completely opposite things before; 2) she expects you to read her mind when she hides things from you all the time.
DAMN annoying la. Okay here’s the story:
Story Part 1 (happened on 9 april 2010):
It was 10.30pm when I was walking to the bus stop behind ion to take a bus back home. Then the phone rang.
Me: Hello?
Phone: 姐姐, mummy ask you what time are you coming home (then my mother shouts from the living room “你問她現在幾點了，不會看時間嗎?!”
Me: *Sigh* YES I KNOW, I AM ON MY WAY BACK HOME NOW.
Next thing I knew, mother grabs the phone from my sister
Mother: 我問你，你懂不懂的看時間？你今天出去做甚麼？
Me: Dinner with friends? then chill out? I thought I told you EVERYTHING? *trying to keep my cool*
Mother: 有很多話講嗎？
Me: Finally lose control (cause I HATE it when she interrogates me, its like a NEVER ENDING police questioning), So I said “yep, we have alot of things to say, NOW I AM AT THE BUS STOP WAITING FOR BUS, what do you want me to do?”
Mother: 好,既然你說你有很多話講，我就給你在外面講到夠直到你要回家！*hangs up*
After that, when I reached home at 11.15pm she LOCKED me outside of the house for 1 hour+. And (don’t know if I remembered correctly) she told my elder sister (who isn’t in Singapore)that “I was being rebellious that I don’t wanna go home and making her worry and that she had to stay up AWAKE to WAIT FOR ME TO GO HOME” (When I was fucking waiting outside)
Then after she told me sister this: “I’m okay with her (me) going home late, just that I want KC(bf) to send her home, you know how dangerous is it outside? If he’s not going to send her then I want her home by 9.30pm”
Firstly, WTF? YOU LOCKED ME OUTSIDE (assuming you ordered the family NOT TO OPEN the door when they heard the doorbell) AND GOT THE CHEEK TO TELL ME THAT.
Secondly, KC IS, WILL, and CAN NEVER be beside me 24-7 (use your brain can? You are the one who asked US to meet up only ONCE A WEEK) PLEASE DO NOTE THAT I wasn’t with him that night. Does that mean that even if I’m not meeting him, I have to ask him to fetch me home (despite him being elsewhere, even at home, just to send me home?) please la, use your brain again CAN? (你好歹也是一個媽媽, he’s someone’s child for heaven’s sake, not my bodyguard!)
Thirdly, I take AT LEAST 1 HOUR TO TRAVEL BACK HOME. So that means I gotta finish my stuff my 8.30pm (Which is fucking IMPOSSIBLE) AT LEAST I BOTHERED TO CALL YOU AND 報平安 and keep my phone with me in case you wanna call me (even if I missed your call, I’ll call back as soon as I saw the miss call to let you worry less)
Fourth, She was the one who said that I should socialize more and she can be so fucking contradicting
Fifth, back to the 9.30pm curfew. Point 1, Initially my curfew was 11.30PM (GOD KNOWS WHY IT WAS CHANGED BACK TO MY POLY CURFEW, and yes, she was THAT STRICT)
Point 2: Like that I don’t need to go school already (Since my school ends at 10pm and I take 1 hour to reach home). MIGHT AS WELL QUIT SCHOOL (got curfew mah, bf cannot fetch me also).
Sixth, I don’t normally go out (Because my parents DON’T LIKE me to go out, so I try not to go out as frequently (that’s why my mother calls me anti-social and that I must socialize). When I don’t go out, they nag. When I go out, they act as if I am a rebellious bitch claiming to be their daughter.
“they are so contradicting meh?” you see the next 2 scenarios lor:
Overseas trip
Mother: “You’re big enough to make your own decisions now.”
Me: “So can I go overseas when my friends?”
Mother: “you decide lor”
Me: “Okay! I wanna go HK!”
Mother: “Cannot! remember the acid incident?”
Me: “how about thailand?”
Mother: “Cannot!, now dangerous”
Me: “how about taiwan?”
Mother: “better not, not really safe”
Me: … “okay, somewhere near.. like.. Malaysia, batam, bintan, bali?”
Mother: “DEFINITELY NO! Malaysia and batam dangerous, bintan and bali got tsunami..”
TELL ME? DO I HAVE A CHOICE IN TRAVELLING?
Driving woes
I can’t remember who said it, but I remember my mum saying she’ll sponsor me in my driving lessons if I take school lessons. Then the next thing I knew I have to pay everything
Me: “Mummy you said before you wanna sponsor my driving right?”
Mummy: “er.. ya, you’re working now, need me to pay meh?”
Me: “School lesson very expensive leh”
Mummy: “okay lor, I pay for you, in return, you have to sponsor both of your sisters.
WHERE GOT SUCH THINGS YOU TELL ME
And the last thing I heard was that my MUM REWARDED MY SISTER FOR GETTING As FOR O LEVELs. Like WTF? She NEVER EVEN said such things to me when I had my O levels.
This is damn fucking bias, unfair and contradicting. SO MUCH FOR “I AM BEING FAIR TO EACH ONE OF YOU IN THE FAMILY”
I cannot fail it!!!!!!!! (I didn’t do 1 Essay, 2 SAQ = 25% of the paper due to the lack of time. SIGH! Depressing to just think about it). Results will be released on 3 June. STRESSED!!
