words are only words.

since housework is not exactly the most exciting activity on this planet, there's no point going into details of my weekly routine. wad's worth mentioning is this exchange of words with my mum.

mum: okay after cleaning this cupboard you're done.

me: -heart does a gleeful leap-

[20min later]

me: DONE!

mum: ehhh girl ah, actually right, you want to help ur brother clean the sliding door?

me: (not really, i just want to drop dead and die) okaaayyyyy.

mum: dont like that lahhh, c'mon, i know you're a good girl. later i reward you.. let you drink milo okay?

me: (i really dont know whether to laugh or cry) that's like saying if i help you then you'll let me eat dinner whaaattttt.

mum: (even she was laughing) i'll not only let you drink one packet, i'll let you drink two packets lahhh.

hahaha. i really dint know whether to laugh or cry.

my mummy, the comedian. i love her so. and did i mention how she gave me a pail of water to clean the hi-fi set? no, nothing wrong with that. thing is, it wouldnt be sensible to pour the pail of water over such high-tech electronic device, dont you think? i had expected a piece of clothhhh, so imagine me squatting by the pail, my hand reaching into the water and swimming in it, scooping lather. mum came over with her hands on her hips. i performed the deliberate act of rinsing an imaginary cloth and looked up at her. mum, looking a bit absent-minded, chuckled sheepishly. ahhwell, i luurrrvvee mummy dearest.

although she put forth a rather unfair (that is, in my opinion lahh) compromise. go for deb's bday dinner tonight or go for trg tmr. choose one or the other. sigh. mother knows daughter inside out.

oh gen just rang me up and told me to stop being a canoeist. (haha of course, that was not the main reason for her call) sorry to disappoint you girl. i promise i'll make time for our drama clique outing (:

mmmm. guess i more or less recharged today, breathing hougang air instead of macritchie air. alright that dint make much sense. fell asleep sitting on the sofa while watching the 9pm show on channel8 ytd. i really need to study haaaardeerrr. cant say i dint touch my notes at all cos i did - i've been diligently moving my notes and stationery from my room to the coffee table in the living room. way to go, yanhan.

(study dates AND movie dates anyone?)
