i came home late last night after we had crashed a house of a friend's friend only to find my dad asleep on the couch with the tv turned on (to some boring ass channel) with the remote control on his chest.
LOL
no big surprise there. really.
so since it was, uh, a LIL late, i crept quietly into my room, locked my room door and passed a glance at the mirror and was suddenly hit by a flashback.
then i couldn't stop laughing.
hahah
you know how parents are really toooooo overprotective at times?
yeah well, so a coupla years back, my parents had a rule of having NOOOOOOO boyfriends til after i graduate from uni.
that's just ancient man!
so being the SLIGHTLY (and note, i said SLIGHTLY) rebellious child that i am, i totally ignored that houserule and had myself a boyfriend.
of course i told them about it coz i'm really bad at keeping things from my parents. besides, they'd find out in due time anyway so must as well let it out in the open first. it's also loads easier to go out and stuff like that without having to think too much.
but i used to think differently many years back. I thought that it was normal for every teen to have secrets from their parents and that if you really believed in them, then it was alright for you to keep them quiet. i firmly believed (at that point of time) that if i EVER EVER EVER had a boyfriend, i'd keep mums about it. shush. zilch. silence. zipped. whatever, to the extent where i even had a backup plan months/years before i even considered a relationship!!! yes, i know it sounds a lil-over-the-top and so-full-of-myself but c'mon.
don't tell me that you've NEVER considered a relationship?
where you'd always have someone by your side and someone to talk to and fall back on?
and don't tell me that's what best friends are for, coz husbands/wives have the same/main purpose (other than to continue producing offsprings). otherwise you die a spinster/bachelor only lohhhhh
so yeah.
i suppose different people consider relationships at different stages of life, and mine happened to be pretty late in the years.
anyhow, back to the plan.
it was this whole strategy where i'd make it obvious that i was lying about having a boyfriend and that when the time actually came when i DID have a boyfriend.....
well..
then it wouldn't be much of my fault would it?
i mean, i told you about it (although in a rather peculiar weird ass way) but if it so happens that you choose not to believe me (which is part of the strategy) then it isn't completely my fault now, is it?
LOL
so when i was much much younger, i used to just laugh and blurt out that i did actually have a boyfriend (when i didn't) to either my mom, dad or brother.
to which my mom would just laugh and say "aiyarrrr..so short, flat nose, small eyes, got ppl wan merhhh???"
then we'd all laugh, including me.
heh.
plan working out FIIINNNNEEEEEE
then the day came when i DID actually have a boyfriend and i decided that mums isn't the way to go.
so i sat my mom down, and she knew i wasn't lying anymore.
she wasn't too happy about it, but oh well..little girl has grown up already.
but to daddy, little girl will always be little girl.
hahaha
so it sounded pretty sweet one day, when i was in the car whilst he was driving me somewhere.
i think it was pretty awkward for him, but he started off the conversation of relationships and how i was too young for it ( i was 17)
and he said
"why do you want a relationship now? it'll do you more harm than good.
cannot study, cannot focus, waste money, waste time. after kena cheated also
how?
wait awhile longer lah. so many guys out there. and not like you're ugly
also. you're not bad looking what."
hahaha
so there we have it.
i'm not ugly, and not bad looking....
according to the dad, that is ;P
