Then

Had dinner with my uncle yesterday and he asked about my dad. I have no idea what to tell him about my dad. It's really a shame that I don't know my dad all that well. We don't talk as daddy's a busy man and I'm used to growing up in my own room.


Uncle Chai's question does make me wonder what life was, when I was young.


When I was real young, apart from schooling, all the spare times were devoted into building my Lego empire or my Tamiya RC models or computer games. I was a proud gamer back then. That, probably has got something to do with the exclusivity of computer back in 1987. (Yes, if you had to ask, the game comes in diskets. The big ones, not floppy disk.)


Then, I'll get the occasional Harry potter style howler on my desk reminding me to not waste my precious time in my room. I know I'm in my own little world then, but that's okay. They know me there. I grew up normal after all. There's also reminder that it's time to tidy up my room - as dad put it "it smells like toilet!" Man, you don't know how hard it is for the message to sink in especially when the washroom smells nice.


Apart from that, getting lectured for my poor attitude and behavior is just typical. I always got reminded to behave. Yes, I'm a spoiled brat, I'm aware of that thank you. But then, this young boy is in need of hero to look up upon. Then, It's either Disney's Goofy or Marvel's Megatron and that, is like asking Tom Sawyer to choose between a lollipop and a BB gun.


Frankly speaking, I can't be bothered about how many people who's upset with me. If I don't like something or someone, I don't see a point of pretending to like it.

I'm being honest to myself. I say what I mean. People either love to hate me, or hate to love me. I don't live my life according to other people's standard. You do that and your life's no longer yours.


(P/S. I'll think about trying to be nice part. Previous experience taught me that friendliness is not an asset. Bitchiness is. And there is no need to argue about this. Take a look at Barbie. That bitch has got everything.)
