i am so pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! firstly, my aunt wants to take my sister and i shopping. i warned her that if she wants to shop with us, she would have to pay.

so, the day started off with the trip to acer to get the laptop touchpad fixed, before the waranty ends and later-cannot-sell-my-laptop-in-future-if-it-is-spoilt-please-lah-janet. i didnt want to fix the laptop coz it wasnt a major problem but my fantastic aunt insisted with such a pained look i felt as if i were the problematic pain in the ass. in the end, there wasnt any problem with the keypad but the settings were changed somehow when sister messed up with the laptop. i felt sooo embarrassed and stupid as the service man quickly solved the problem in just a few clicks.

then, my aunt wanted to park at IMM so that she can save on free parking and that we could walk to the mrt and take it to orchard to meet my sister.

i convinced her not to. then she decided to park at little india coz the parking is cheaper and by 6, there would have been free parking. and so, to my dismay, she actually did! then, we had to walk all the way to this bus stop where we can get a bus to orchard boulevard. and it was such a blustering hot day i tell you. to save on parking and ERP, we had to walk and take a bus ride there and get dehydrated and breathed in all the exhaust fumes from the roads.

it was fantastic. i had to stand on the bus and wonder why someone would buy a car and go all out to save a couple of dollars.

so we arrived late. my sister was angry of course. she rushed out of the house just to wait half an hour for us. my sister is a temperamental person already and i wanted to make things better between us sisters. yet my aunt likes to do such things to make people angry and then cousel us to appreciate each other as sisters and so not get one another angry.

then we walked in silence and apart from each other like total strangers. and my sister was so angry. my aunt gave that 'why do i have such lousy nieces' look and what can i do! i didnt do anything wrong. i told her that it isnt nice to let people wait on purpose (since my sister was already reaching town soon and she still wanted to take the bus to town) and she retorted that i made her wait earlier in the morning. what the HELL!

so the whole day, we shopped for my sister's stuff. my mother gave her more money than she did on me coz she think that i have enough clothes and my sister's collection pales in comparison to the amount of clothes i have. SOooooo UNFAIR!!!! i used my money to buy secondhand clothes so that i can have more, but my sister uses her money to buy expensive clothes lah. and she usually wears them once or twice and not want to wear them anymore. THEN, she borrows my clothes. you know, without permission and stuff, sometimes lending them to her friends and when i found out, she would accuse me of looking at her private stuff. Yeah, and when i wasnt around, she used my computer without permission and change the settings and surf clubbing websites. anyway, i never take her things without permission and i never want to take her clothes either.

so after the whole day of shopping only for my sister's clothes, we went back to little india on a seriously packed bus. then it started to rain. so the best option was for her to run to the car and drive it to the bus stop to fetch us sisters later. and i feared for her coz it was raining and dark and she could fall easily and even get sick in the rain. while waiting at the crowded bus stop, we were lucky to get seats coz the rest had rain on them. so the people at the bus stop stared at my sister and i, like they had never seen a female in their lives. it was horrible, having to worry for some stingy people, and to feel grateful coz u have some small seat to rest on and to feel guilty just for wearing a denim short skirt all because some people got car want to save parking.

when the car came, i complained to my aunt. i told her it wasnt fair to bring people out and spoil the day like that. she said 'aiyah, i also dont want this to happen what. how i know it would rain?. then she said i should not let small things like this to affect the relationship. yes, and who was the one started all these anyway? if she wanted to take my sister and i out, she should be a little more gracious. i rather not eat expensive food and buy a new blouse just so that she could save on parking. (by the way, she did not pay for a single thing and i was too full to enjoy my meal)

i told her if she wants to continue like this, then i will never go out with her anymore. and what the heck she warns me 'be careful of what you say. i can dont bring you all for all you know'. WHATEVER! as if i owe her a favour. i shall not ask her for anything anymore. that would just be plain stupidity and embarrassment. i would rather i get a boyfriend who lavishes on me but abuse me verbally or physically. then i would make her guilty coz she had money to pay for parking but didnt want to and made her niece so angry that the niece would self-destruct in her quest to find someone who pays for parking.

i didnt say bye to her when she dropped my sister and i off and ignored her even as she called out 'janet....'.

the only highlight of the day was that i went to two shops to enquire about those 'part-time salesgirls 18 and above wanted' and had my contacts jotted down. you would probably see me in orchard slogging off and serving countless bratty customers.

you know, i always felt that the world would be better if everybody was janets.

man, i feel better blogging than i had stomping all the way up 6 flights of staircases home.
