All I did was ask.
It feels like the worst day of my life.
Imagine going to some restaurant for lunch, with family and friends, and you receive a call from one of your good friends asking you out for a movie.
After phone call..
Les: "Ma, can I go watch a movie with my friends later? It's at 8.50pm"
Ma: "WHY SO LATE. WATCH EARLIER SHOW CANNOT IS IT?! CANNOT WATCH TOMORROW ISSIT?!"
Gosh all I did was ask nicely.
And imagine being pang-seh'd by your friends for tuition, though it wasn't so bad since tuition class was cancelled anyway, and you decide to try your luck with your mum about going out again.
Les: "Ma, tuition's been cancelled, can I go watch an earlier movie?"
Ma: "GET HOME BY 10PM *SLAMS PHONE*"
Jesus, all I did was ask nicely!
And imagine the worst case scenarion when you got scolded just so you could get out of the house, and in the end the time slot you wanted was full, AND you quarreled with your friends 'cos you didn't want to drag them down just 'cos you couldn't watch a movie with them. Not to mention the awkward feeling you get when you send him an sms of apology. And what's worse, you had to go home early instead.
Les: "I'm sorry I yelled. I didn't want to drag everyone down with me."
Peter: "It's all right."
And imagine yourself getting the worst shit-ass attitude from your sister when you get home, just 'cos you wanted to borrow the PS2 DualShock2 controller, since the game doesn't run on DualShock controllers.
Les: "Eh sis, do you have a DualShock2 controller?"
Sis: "HAVE LA, I NEVER USE BEFORE."
Les: "Could I borrow it, then? The game doesn't run on DualShock."
Sis: "WHAT FOR?! PLAY OTHER GAME LAH!!"
Okay fine, I get the point. All I did was ask nicely. The attitude was uncalled for.
Sometimes, I wonder if anyone would remember who/what I am/was if I were to die one day. Would anyone cry for me, or perhaps mourn for my demise? And I wonder, would anyone care? More often in life we hear stuff... Stuff that aren't pleasant to our ears, stuff that wasn't what we hoped to hear.
But i'll stay strong.
I promise that to myself, at the very least.
Peace out.
