festive cny grumbles

now that you guys are almost done visiting for chinese new year, you may begin to shop for my birthday present!!!!! HA! HA! HA!

ok i am saying this in scorn coz i cannot visit people and should probably be a malay or indian anyway. this is due to my mum being overseas and having to stay at home so that i can keep my eyes on my dad or the maid and my sister acting like she's all married off now. so this chinese new year really sucked to the max. imagine staying at home, listening to your dad nag and nag and nag. who studies during chinese new year man omg! and the first thing i did was wake up and sat in front of the tv and begin surfing channels, he started to, "chinese new year doesnt mean you dont need to study right? your birthday celebrations coming so you go and study now!"

and! he clears the cupboard, which he always does when my mum isnt around coz he gets to throw away things and dislikes my mum being the thriftrat and "making the house look like a pig sty" (his quote), which is quite bad coz nobody likes other people throwing away your own things without permission.

i tried to stop him but to avail. he even went to take his old documents and burn them in those red bin things that people burn incense in downstairs after the original person left! and then i was using abit of water while he was outside the toilet and he has to stare at me washing my feet coz he doesnt want me to waste water!!!!!!

tell me how i cannot tolerate staying at home! if i had to go out, i have to take the maid out with me as an obligation to my somewhat-deservedly-jealous mother of mine. thats like the FASTEST way to cramp my style can. imagine this: "hi guys!!.. oh this is my maid, be nice to her ok!!" omg no!!! this little mary here loathes having lambs following her wherever she goes! little mary prefers to have cooked kambing soup instead!! ARGH! i could go out on the street and see little 4 year olds with a MAID tagging along behind and imagine ME! wahlao way to go for someone going onto 21!

sucks lah seriously. i had such a bad day today i cried in the car a few times. my aunt was being the kind "forgive them lah" christian she is and came over and drove me around coz i didnt want to breathe the same limited oxygen as my dad. and the maid has to follow. -_- but oh well better than nothing!

anyway chinese new year totally sucks coz i dont get to visit people so i am still poor and miserable cooped at home.

i went to the airport and then little india today coz basically no other places are open right? mustafa was sooo crowded! if only businesses learn to wisen up and open during chinese new year.

shots taken in little india because i got nothing better to do:

fake champagne

weird looking bananas
i wonder if they taste specially good.

hairy malaysian coconuts

and the ever packed street.
