Upset with Dad
Cant understand why when I write an entry in my office, my font size is so different. Something to do with the settings I guess…
Anyway, just a brief update.
Will be going to a church wedding tomorrow morning. Going earlier to the nearby fastfood restaurant for breakfast with a few others. Have never attend church wedding b4 though. But I’m looking fwd to it becoz it’s been a really long time since the group of us gather up. There’ll also be a wedding dinner at night but I’m not going becoz initially I thought I’ll be working as there’s an event going on. But turns out that I’m not on duty.
Going to watch "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in the afternoon with J. We had reserved the tickets online sometime ago. Looking fwd to that as well…

Experienced some unhappiness with my dad last night. Normally he’ll pick me up from work when I’m working the afternoon shift till night. I had a meeting at Toa Payoh last night so I was expecting him to come fetch me there. I had told him abt it the night b4. Turned out that he had forgotten abt it and he was actually waiting for me at my office. When I came out from the meeting at 11pm, I cldnt find his car (obviously) so I called him. But he didnt answer. I called many times (I think abt 20) b4 he answered. He had left his cellphone in his car while he went out to walk walk. Anyway when he finally came, he was saying something abt I shd hv reminded him again on the day itself, etc etc.
When we reached home, he was still grumbling abt it. Another matter then cropped up. I was bringing out my old clothes to place outside the house for recycling (they normally come to collect on alternate Fri) when my dad stopped me and said he wanted to look through the clothes to see if there’s suitable ones for rags. So I left the bag with him. After he took out some clothes, he said we shd hv sell the unwanted clothes to garang guni instead of giving them for recycling. Then he took the whole bag into the house.
I felt pissed off becoz I had cleared my wardrobe and wanted to give the clothes up for recycling purposes. Everytime they came to do the collection, they wld leave behind their plastic bag for us to put the unwanted things inside. My dad wld just throw the bag away and so I cldnt find the bag at all when I wanted. In the end I had to dig out one from the dustbin the other day.
Anyway…
Something to cheer me up… from the msn conversation with J this morning:
"I wish you wont feel so miserable.
When I hear you say that, it makes me want to whisk you away from your parents.
Just stay with me. =) "
Felt a bit touched actually….
Fri, 1645 hrs.
Mmm… whisk you away from your parents? I dun think your parents are THAT bad rite?

I think its sweet he said that. Parents have a different thinking from us. I realise it lots when I went for my trip, and a long time b4 that. But I also realised we can’t really change them. And they probably also feel just as frustrated as we are with them. But since we are family, have to give and take I guess. Take care.
