had like an hour-long chat with my dad just now when i got back from an entire day of being sick at josh's house.
been coughing like shit since yesterday, so i took today off,
and got the office to ring my kids' parents to say i'll be down and out till weds.

im hoping to go back to work on weds though,
coz otherwise the next time i see D1 will be next monday,
which means i would've not seen him for a week and a half and who knows how he will be because he hasnt seen me for so long.

i have this bad feeling that i will be out for the rest of the week though.

its even worse because i have something on on monday that i will definitely need my throat to be good for.

------------------------------------------------------------------

anyway.
dad's been away in singas for 2 weeks.

just now when i got back he said:
"i bought your present already" (as in birthday present).

a month ago when he went to singapore he asked what i wanted,
and i said a burberry scarf.
for those of you who dont know,
my dad is super thrifty and doesnt believe and definitely doesnt condone spending big bucks on useless shit like that.

but being the best dad ever,
he walked into that burberry store in takashimaya,
and at least tried to find out the price.

$600 LAH!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK.
i told him not to buy.
i dont like it THAT much.

anyway.

so after he told me he bought me a present,
i said HUH U BOUGHT ME BURBERRY AR???

and he went yar. and laughed really cheekily.

i was like are u serious LEMME SEE LEMME SEEEEEEEEEE!

and i was like you bought the scarf ar??
he said no.
bag?
no.

then he said no lah he didnt buy burberry for me -_-

and refused to show me what he'd actually gotten me.

then he said he bought my mum's bday present.
and opened the safe to show me what he got.

then just before he closed the safe he took out this tiffany paperbag and flashed it at me.

and then i remembered the last holiday i also said i wanted this tiffany bangle.

that was the time i was on the phone with him and he was at tiffany's,
with all the staff standing in front of him,
and said to me "ok, im going to ask the price now ar. if its too ex i buy you a rubber band".
and i could hear the entire floor laughing over the phone.

dad didnt come back with anything for me that time.
well, its not like i really need anything i guess.
or want anything thats not stupidly priced and extremely unworth it.

so. i wonder what im gettin for my birthday :p

-----------------------------------------------

had a rather big fight with the boy over the weekend.

i guess its hard for anyone to understand the shit that goes on here at home, and why i have to do the things i do to keep the peace.

pretty much the weight of the entire family's problems sit on my shoulders.

perhaps this is why at the age of 23 i am still only 1.5+m tall.

the only person i can think of who might even remotely come to understand the shit i go through would be joyce.

that being said though, the boy is still one of the most amazing people in my life.

thank you for being there.

even when you dont understand why.
