hello freedom, some of you may say.
hello late nights outs, others may proclaim.
but im here to say that all those are just temporary excitement. yes, ive been out late. yes, ive not been going home straight after school (mainly cos nobodys at home). but im missing hell loads of their presence. dad's snoring in the other room. fetching me from school. watching telly during the weekends. joggin with dear dad. mom's home cooked food and knowledge that shes home whenever i get home from school - knowing full well that i dont need to bring the house keys (yes people, i dont have a personal house key). and yes that nagging too i guess. i think i should be more appreciative of everything they do.
nothing shd be taken for granted. even friends. the times you ask for a favour. the times you say thanks. the times you praise someone. the times you say please. the times you listen when he/she talks. the times you think about them. the times you do things for them without expecting returns. the times you joke. notice them and realise their existence instead of harping on their mistakes. cos poof one day, and they might not be there anymore. so thank you AWESOME friends :)
and yes, not to mention that ive to keep the household in order - washing laundry, folding laundry, mopping, sweeping, wiping the table, washing the dishes, boiling water etc. ok maybe EXCLUDING the cooking part. im terrible at that. but i try :) oh how, outside food has been a chore eating these days! boring oh boring. and how sooo energy draining it is to clean up two storeys. and i realise how embedded are those gender roles and stereotypes. tskk! but then again, im doing it for my brothers, for the house being clean, and for my mom :) so, all the hard work is worth it! or so i tell myself that. haha
then there were the times when i totallly wreck stuff. there were those power trips (thrice might i add) after i used the kettle and the washing machine. and how i feel so helpless not knowing what to do. sheesh. but i learn. and then i broke the car break lights! yes yes! im waiting for judgement day :/ and the day when dad's net book went kaput. like seriously. how and why do things have to go wrong! ive been good all week. prays that all will turn out fine on friday night.
alot of random things have gone haywired too. ive no mood to write it down.
will do it another time. for now, see you when i see you.

(if you're expecting me to write about sunday, im not! haha)
whenever the weekend approaches, my dad will be up early in the morning although he does not have to work. and there he will be in the living room blasting the volume watching some downloaded dramas. and boy, from the second level i could still be awaken to the noise. and to think he likes to complain when me and mom used to watch shows in their master room! tskk thats my dad..expecting his silence when hes not doing the same..
haha
anyway, i got up and walked around the house, gathering the locations of everyone. i like to do this, cos usually when i wake up ill be stranded and abandoned home alone. yes im a sleeping beauty, thank you very much. oblivious to my (already familiar) surroundings! :) then, i get started on my literature review. bored. went to the kitchen to find my mom. continue doing my work. then called upon dad downstairs to jog with me later in the evening. and he said "yeah later five thirty". ahah awesome.
so, we did two rounds of the neighbourhood. he cant run too far cos of his knee/miniscus surgery (although hes still playing badminton avidly la, doesnt make sense right. hee) and i notice his white hair keeps multipling! shucks my dad is getting old. anyway, came back did my crunches and leg lifts and arm lifts. and yeps! bathe under cold runnin water for a good half hour.
went down to the kitchen, and helped mom with preparing the salad.
and dinner was done within fifteen minutes. gosh, i am hungry. and sleepy. jogging never fail to make me feel sleepy. hee but then dad asked me out to his secretary house to visit her newborn baby. and i did. but the baby was aslp when we reached. so i was entertaining jieyang (i think hes abt five years old) playing with his whiteboard, cars and guns! he was shouting and screaming and laughing and sweating. i think perhaps i can open a playhouse next time! and he was super observant can. still ask me why i keep washing my hands after playing with him for short intervals. seriously..
has my ocd become more apparent? haha
anyway, one of his bullet flew out of the window. i feel so bad la. hmm mayb next time buy for him gun. ahahha
thats how my saturday panned out..
how was yours? |
