My parents had left over a month ago, for a small holiday and to visit our relatives in China. The past month and a bit for me was great as I had so much freedom with no one to tell me what I can and can not do. The down fall of being home without my parents is that I have to take the responsibility of cleaning after myself which is boring as for a teenager you want to spend as much time doing the things you like. Nevertheless it has been an enjoyable month without my parents, including some unexpected surprises in my life, @>v<@.
It was around 9 something in the morning and I was half awake when I heard a car pull over outside the house. Immediately I jumped up looked outside my window to find one of the long taxi's stopped outside my house before I jumped out of bed got myself dressed and made my way downstairs to help my parents with their luggage. They had 5 suitcases, one bag, 3 shopping bags from the airpot and one laptop bag, for two people that is a lot of things to be carrying. Greeted them as they came home but all my mum really cared about was getting things inside and checking if the house was clean just like she always does. I tried to stay with them as long as I can but I ended up getting really bored as I was mainly ignore as they tried to settle themselves back home therefore I left to brush my teeth and wash my face before starting my school work. A few times while I was working, I left to try and help my mum or that she comes in and distracts me with her non-stop cleaning. But when she did come in, she was happy with me since I was concentrated on my work which she rarely sees me do even though I do study a lot when she isn't around. (maybe not a lot during the holidays :P)
Before lunch, my mum brought over some gifts she was going to give my sister and I from China. I got a bit more than my sister did as my mum was unsure about what my sister actually wanted and she really never asked. For lunch my sister and I decided to walk to KFC since there wasn't anything good to eat at home in the add fact that we were sick of eating the food we have at home. As I was walking to KFC, I remember the last time I was there with my friends when I saw my old crush working there and half wondering if he would be working there today. Once we arrived through the doors of KFC, I looked towards the counter and I realised that this it wasn't my old crush that is working there but the guy who talks to me from time to time on the walk home. In my head, I was thinking ' OMG~~~ How many people I know who works here?' and I noticed that the minute I walked through that door, he had noticed me and started smiling weirdly. I stayed behind my sister hoping to avoid him as much as possible cause for one, I don't really like him that much. My sister and I talked about how she wanted to go out with Ling and I along with her boyfriend, IK, next week and what we should do, slowly we came to the topic of hairstyles. We both want to change our hair which later gave my sister idea of going to a hairdresser before meeting up with Ling and IK. We never really got to finish the conversation nor have I told Ling about the plan my sister wanted to proceed.
Arriving after lunch, my dad wasn't happy about the fact that we went out to eat and not stay home to eat this pancake thing that he had brought home from China. My sister and I slightly ignored him as he complained but as he requested, I did try it out even though I was extremely full from lunch. For the rest of the time after lunch, I have been jumping from my computer towards my mum or my dad or my sister trying to find something interesting to do which I eventually find that sticking with the computer and talking to Ling a bit (even though he is being a good boy by studying) was the most entertaining part. Throughout the day, one thought was always crossing my mind and that was if I should mention about having a boyfriend. I knew I can not tell my dad as his reactions scary but for my mum I wondered if how badly she would have reacted to it, therefore I tried to test it out and ask her if I fell in love with a guy how would she react. My mum answered me with
" This is bad"
" What!? How is this bad?"
" It is bad because you are not going to be able to concentrate on your studies." (>. >) I wondered why I bother even trying, I probably should have guessed. This is what all asian parents would normally think actually that is all they would think about and care about which is our study. (sigh~~~ >. >)
Not long after my parents left to buy groceries and ingredients for dinner, my sister began packing her things to move back to her apartment. I stayed in my room occupying myself unless I was need to help my sister pack anything. By the time my parents arrived home my sisters was ready to take her things and placed them in IK car before driving back to her house, once again leaving the house where I am stuck on until high school. I have mentioned that I never had a normal family life, I actually lived in a family with constant arguments and fight, the down fall of my life. I have never experienced the real warmth of an entire family, never had the feeling of seeing my own parents acting all sweet and cute together. I can imagine that kind of happiness but I could never ever really experience it in real life. A hour after my sister left, I remain on my computer for a while before my dad need me with some letters as he has difficult understanding some of the english. He called me down twice and on the second time, the arguing about missing place some kind of letter began which just brings me back to how miserable I felt when they were last here arguing about the little things. These kind of arguments never gets old they always find away to haunt me and destroy my happiness but there is always only 3 ways I could block them out. One, is to think about my friends; two, is to listen to music of distracted myself with work or watching something; three, is only a new recent method and works pretty well right now which is recalling the memories I have with Ling (@^.^@). After dinner, everything was back to normal as I am always called to help them with something which eventually becomes a bit irritating but what can I do. I am the only one in the house that is fluent in english (even though I fail my english exams >~<) which means when they can't read or understand something they will ask for my help. Oh well, there isn't much I can do about it, I am just happy if I don't hear any arguing and I am not be disturbed while I am busy on my computer to often.
I shall be Happy & Positive because I have great friends and a wonderful boyfriend @^.^@.
LOVE YOU GUYS~~~
