Terrific Ending?
This would probably be the best of weekends.Indeed.Best.Oh.How the English script mocked me.What a ingenious decision i made.Sorrow.I chose to write about Sorrow.Yes.There were many ways to write an essay on Sorrow.But little did i know,that the moronic One-Word Topic i chose would lead my Path of Life directly into the River of that insolent One Word.Heaven's will.Fate's twist.Exam's sorrow.Perhaps it is just me.But things do not get so co-incident to that extent,does it?
Saturday morning.My parents and siblings left early in the morning.Another Typical home-alone,i did not see the requirements to eat Breakfast.Distraughted by neither Hunger nor Responsibility,I switched on the laptop and started Mind-Sweeping.So engrossed with Sweeping my mind off mines i was,i decided,Lunch could wait.Yet with such immaculacy,my Family arrived home near Noon,only to realise that i had taken neither Breakfast nor Lunch.Thus,my Mum went on to lament about what a Computer-Addict I am,and even proceeded to demand the laptop switched off.With reluctancy,I shutted the entire power supply and slammed the screen down.She then demanded I scram into the living room and sulk for all she cares on the Sofa.Yet that prospect of being her obedient dog at the age of 15 did not seem enticing enough.Henceforth,i questioned her with a calm and collected tone,"So even where I sit at home is now restricted is it?".With that,fury crawled its way up my insulted mother's face.Her face was obviously boiling through gritted teeth.The gaseous state of H2O could be imagined 'flowing freely' out of her ears in pressure so high no bacteria could possibly survive that lavish cure for unhygienic ears.Under those facial features,she opened her mouth rigidly and barked,"What did you say?Who do you think you are?Come over here right now!"
"Sorry I am perfectly contended sitting here."
"You wish for an early death dont you?Dont dare come over here?"
*Pushes away chair and walk forth to my Mum*"Thats what you think."
So WE bickered.YOU were not satisfied with the way I subjected MYSELF to YOUR qualms.I felt discriminated for having to meet even such imbecile needs of YOURS.Thus,WE end up at loggerheads.YOU emptied MY bag with a treatment so rough no living man's throat would emerge unscathed if replaced with.YOU threw MY books onto the floor with such respect only I could resist.YOU sought to piss ME off.I knew better than to let YOU achieve what YOU wished for.Picking up My Readers' Digest May 2005 issue and reading through the "Laughter,The Best Medicine" section,I feigned ignorance to the mess YOU created.YOU decided that damage inflicted upon OUR shelter was not enough,and decided to 'solve' it.The Singapore-Malaysia way.Separation.Acting big like Malaysia,YOU demanded ME to get the heck out of the Executive Unit,and I did,with the Readers' Digest still in hand.As obedient as Singapore was,as heart-broken as Lee Kuan Yew had been,I lunged out of Home,with just my clothes on and Readers' Digest on.YOU slammed the door shut,implying there shall be no U-turn for ME.Yet after 3 Hours perching MYSELF upon the staircase next to the Lift Lobby,Ah Hao lead YOU to ME.Sparing YOURSELF the embarrassment in front of Ah Hao,YOU calmly asked ME to go home.So home WE went.Back there,YOU hurriedly left,fuming and all,sending Jin Yu to Raffles Institution for the weekly gymnastic trainings.With that,Dad took over.
The talk by my Father was somehow inspiring.He spoke of many things.Of his perspective on multiple stuff.Although the 40minute Propoganda Talk did not actually drill much regret into my immune brain cells,he made me realise what a great man he was back then in Secondary School.What a Role Model he was for everyone back then.But surprising to my brain,he spoke too,of his point of view on Marriage.He believed Marriage was all about starting a Family.Marriage was all about Responsibility and Maintaining a Happy Family.I Agreed upon that.Yet i have done otherwise.Thus,sense was drilled into my mind.I had not been as tolerant as he has always been to Mum and my siblings.I had never stood in his shoes and wonder whats going on.Never.So i guess,its time for me to start tolerating as well.I always thought by being conservative and telling none of my family what pain i felt was right.Always thought by being indecisive and let them plot my future was right.Now,i know I am wrong.I had been wrong all along.Such attitude paved the way for my Family's thoughts of me as a Selfish and Irresponsible boy.Well,i Guess they are right.
