sometimes i dun understand them. oh.. i never did.

i have reached, or am possibly beyond, my tolerance level towards my parents and their dinosaur age thinkings.


i am female.


therefore i shall _____(fill in the blank)________.
*suggested answers:
help out with house work, stay in singapore cos it is dangerous out there, be neat and tidy, get home early, prevent staying overnight anywhere, go to collin's house once in a blue moon and only when he fetches me there huh!?, listen to them all the time, refuse to go on a short holiday with collin and his family cos i am female and it is not right for a female to do so cos it is "mei ming mei fen" (literally translated: no name no status) and because i am female it is not right.


i am female.


therefore i shall not _____(fill in the blank)________.
*suggested answers:
be letting my brother do the house work cos he is MALE, travel anywhere beyond sentosa without their supervision company, be more messy than my brother cos he is MALE, stay out late cos i will "xue huai" (learn bad stuff?), spend my night elsewhere other than my own home, visit collin's house unnecessary, argue reason with them, be going on holiday with anyone's family except my own.


worse, i am female and the youngest in the family.


therefore, i shall live a sheltered life till the day i get married cos only then i will no longer their direct liability and it is only then, the world stops becoming a dangerous place, late nights suddenly seems safe and it is perfectly fine to go overseas with my husband's family and doubly fine to go to my husband's place cos that will aso be my place.


now i know!! i am the key factor to WORLD PEACE. irrelevant.




ancient parents with ancient thinkings. nothing snaps them out of their dinosaur era.


i feel so helpless. i have said all i could, done all i can. nudge them a little, they inch forward a little less. at the end of the day, nothing changes.


i am so tired of all this. really tired.


sometimes i dun understand them. oh.. maybe i never did.
