foreward: this is an angsty read.
to those who didn't know, i had rooms in kl's perjaya times square for the week. don't ask me how, but it was meant for my birthday.
whatever it is, this is the reason why my mother is being the witch of my life now.
yesterday was my birthday. i went home after a night out on saturday, and stayed home all sunday. waiting. reading a book. in my room. on my birthday. waiting for what? the usual obliged dinner with the family. and the thought of having to face the mother makes me want to throw someone off a cliff.
the hour hands closes in on 6pm, and Rah calls me to ask me what my plans are. i explain i'm waiting. she says, go ask your mother whether you guys are doing dinner. i do.
knock knock. i open the door.
'hey, are we doing dinner?'
'why don't you go out with your friends.'
'i came home today, and stayed home today.'
'whatever for? your friends are more important than your family what.'
'does that mean we're not doing dinner?'
'no.'
'ok.'
then she goes on a ramble of sorts, but i'd shut the door by then. and i thank the Lord for my best friend, Rah, every single day. :)
so anyway, cos it's my birthday, when we passed a tarot card reader, i figured why not - for the fun of it. not that i believe in it, it's just that i'm having a bad week, a bad month, call it a bad year - and it'll be nice to hear that my future is looking bright. i didn't get very far with the future is looking bright because the guy said that i shouldn't look forward to 2007. HAHAHAA. oh, and that i should open up to relationships.
on the bright side, mine wasn't as bad as this guy friend. his really sucked. :(
note: i still do not believe it, but i like that i did it anyway. all for fck's sake. and i promised Rah i will never do it again. promise promised. :)so it's monday morning, and i fell asleep on the sofa downstairs. i wake up to a mad hash of people running around the house.
get this-get that-where's our passports-do you have it? i don't move, and just listen to the household noises.
door slams shut. fucking family went up to m'sia. now i have the house til friday all to myself :)
p/s: the mother didn't even wish me happy-damned-birthday.
that's it. when i can, i'm moving out. anyone looking to share a 3-bedroom apartment?
i would like to thank the Lord for tmtc, rah, sandee, t., derek, evan, mel, stephen & tlc, xu, phillane, melvin, yw, kenny, tim, faizal, cheehong, max, liz, chris, ian k., richel, nicknicknick - for making my birthday special. :) i love you guys.
an especially special thanks to derek, for the one and only cake for my 19th birthday - a slice of starbuck's raspberry swirl cheesecake. hahaa.
