a quick 6 mins

my parent is traditional and oriental type who think 17th is still too early for their daughter to have boyfriend; will always ask who their children go out with, who are the friends, and end up with 'be careful' and 'don't get home too late'; not allow their children to go clubbing; will scold you if they hear dirty word comes out from your mouth; strictly teach you to behave politely if meet seniors; see rice as a compulsory for lunch and dinner.

i just had a call with my dad, and as usual he asked me what did i have for dinner.
i hate when he asked this question especially now when my aunt is not home (which means nobody cooks; oh yeah, i'm terrible in cooking ;p) but can't lie to him so i honestly answered 'bread'. as i said before, my parent sees rice as a compulsory for lunch and dinner, so in their opinion, bread is not enough for dinner.
when i answered him, i thought he will, as usual, say 'haiyah, only bread? it won't make you full, go get something else!'
but i only heard a chuckle. a sad chuckle.

  1. Hmm should post a pic of you cooking
    curious on how terrible your cooking can be haha :)

    That's just what all parent do, to protect their child
    we might hate it... but one day we will miss it
    so while u can, don't be annoyed by it
    be happy with it, the next time your parents do something you don't like
    Smile, laugh and Say Okay to your parents
    little word like Thank you to your parents might help as well ;)

    it works on mine, hope it works with yours as well :)

  2. i don't know why but i always messed up with what i cooked.. people said i'm too clumsy hahaha

    i always laughed when my parent scolded me, and in the end they will laugh with me too.
    i know all the things they do are for my sake.
    so yeah, it's just kinda sad knowing my parents are worrying about me :(

  3. That makes me want to look at ur cooking even more :3
    everyone is clumsy in their own way haha...
    and i think clumsy people are quite fun to be with :)

    Parents never top worrying for their children
    it's just natural for them that way as it show they love for u
    when they stop worrying about you
    that's when u need to be worried because it can mean they give up to love you more, and don't want to bother with you anymore...
    so just enjoy the scolding and their worry for u XD
    and just do your best to do the best for them ;)
