*Ignore if possible. For your sake*

I noticed that I’ve been rolling my eyes behind my father for some days now. Apparently he somehow managed to take a jump at me at every opportunity possible; and by opportunity, I meant every single mistake I made, minor or large regardless of whether I’m right or wrong. Yeah, well, I can’t say that I’m not used being subject to a few nags every now and then, but things are getting so notoriously ridiculous lately it’s making the exasperator exasperated.

Take tonight for instance. I was in the toilet when my super-ultra-sensitive car alarm blared (my bro somehow managed to open the doors despite me locking it), and hence was late in shutting it off. Well it woke mom (and possibly a few neighbours) and dad came out like Clint Eastwood cocking a couple of revolvers; glint in his eyes and ready to say “You want a piece of me, PUNK?”. He asked me why I was late to shutting the alarm, and of course I said I was at the toilet. And then he said in Cantonese:

“What the hell are you doing at the toilet?”

Wha-?!?

I was about throw a handful of sarcasm, but for some strange reason all I could say was “I was at the toilet, dad.” Mmhmm, there’re lots of reasons for me to be in the toilet. A select few are:

1) Erm… nature’s call?

2) Seeking solace from the depression of a dark, realistic world by cooping up in a small little room with a stack of comic books and the lovely toilet bowl.

3) Dropping my old LEGO sets into the water tub, and see if they float or drown. Heck, I may even play Jaws with them.

4) Smoking weed, and spelling my death as I puff (he’ll skin me. ALIVE).

5) Mast- ur… erm… blowing bubbles.

Then he said:

“People in the toilet, you’re in the toilet. Always in your room, toilet, room…”

*Rolls eyes*

Ok, well, he was just back from a trip to Ipoh so I shan’t blame him for being unreasonably cranky, but what about those other occasions?

“(After distracting me with a long winded order) why’s the curtain not closed? Always forget this, forget that…”

*Rolls Eyes*

“Why is the backlight not on? Such a simple thing and it can’t be done daily…”

(Well I happen to turn it on every time I walk past for a drink before my sleep and he can’t wait until I do, which is just 10 minutes away… but oh well)

*Rolls eyes*

“(While I’m fixing a faulty component cable to the DVD player) Why is there still no colour? And I send you to school…”

(Uh, they don’t teach me about component wiring and progressive scan at primary, middle and high school. They teach me how to make musical cabinets and solve chemistry… all which are unrelated to this).

*Rolls eyes* @_@

Keep this up and I’ll have to do eye surgery soon =). Someone will like that, very much.

Goodnight people.

Song of the Day: Tong Hua by Guang Liang

Anime of the Day: Blood+ ep 46

Movie of the Day (actually, yesterday): You, Me and Dupree.

(The movie quickly falls into familiar territory, and while sweet, lacks that inspiration that normally makes an impact. The laughs only fall on the average. Owen Wilson is still cool, though. 2 ½ stars out of 5).
