::Wo hen guai!::

Sobsobsob...

Was on my way to Esplande for AJC Symphonic Band n Chinese Orchestra concert when I saw a mom slapping her young daughter on the escalator down to the mrt platform. The girl looks about nine or ten? *my estimation of age sux* Anyway, the mother ah, looks super piss while the daughter's face was red and tear stained la. Being the usual kpo me, i tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.

mom: tell u to go home, still say five mins, five mins. Don't wanna go out home izzit? Want me slap you again?

daughter: sob sob

mom: cry wat cry?

older daugher: dun scold le la.

mom: already give her extra ten mins, still dun wanna go home. How you expect me to compromise? Next time, let her stay outside and dun bring her back.

Through the whole "scolding session", the young girl was just facing the entry door, trying to hide her face. This whole thingy sorta reminded me of myself when I was young. Everytime my mom brings me out, I'll wanna stay out for as long as possible but my mom, being the very lazy mother, will wanna go home as soon as it's time for dinner. (u noe la... save money if eat at home ma) Den I will say dun want, she'll say must, I'll throw tantrum and...........

KABOOM! she's pissed. and the above conversation would be played (except the part of older sister)

I'm beginning to wonder did someone teach them to say those stuff, I mean... it seems as though all parents will say the same stuff. Anyway, tt's not the main point. The thing is tt, when I'm much younger, or even now... whenever I cry, I'll try to hide my face or somehow not let people noe tt my pearly tears are dropping. However, from yesterday's incident, I realised... PLEASE LA. pple got eyes one lor. It's difficult to avoid letting ppl noe u're crying unless u go hide urself in a room alone. I think girls care about their pride too. I mean, though they do often cry (due to being more emotional den guys), they'll try to avoid crying in public or at least crying out loud or the most classic one tt's used by almost everyone

"I'm alright, not crying. just things got into my eyes" Yayaya...

There's this saying "nan2 ren2 you3 lei4 bu4 qing1 tan2" but these days, girls just doesn't like to cry. Everyone will only cry at home, in their room, in the toilet, when bathing... just prefer to cry alone. Even guys. I believe guys do cry lor... I dun believe tt they dun have tear glands. Hmmm... so wat's the whole pt? I forgot. I guess it's something like eh... crying = being weak? NO IT'S NOT! There's nothing wrong with crying, I luv to cry once a month (when I'm pmsing la... I'm not some siao za bor tt cries whenever I'm shuang) It helps to release frustration lor.

Crying is a form of gesture to show ur feelings, to show that u're upset, unhappy, disappointed, frustrated, depress or maybe u're overjoyed, relieved. I hate it when my mom say "dun cry until it seems as though someone died in the family" wah lau! who says we can only cry when someone pass away. People cry when watching touching movies, people cry when they received the desired results after tons of hardwork and I will cry even when I'm super hungry or in pain, not great pain but just pain. Haiya, so I'm a crybaby... SO? No one say u can't cry after reaching a certain age lor. But please do not hold crying sessions in schs cause tt's BIAN TAI!

Once again... there's nothing wrong with crying, it's ABSOLUTELY ALRIGHT to cry. And for now, I shall go cry over my unfortunate fate of being sick durin the long wkend. (P.S: I almost died in bed on sat frm fever, please send ur flowers and "get well soon" cards to my house asap. Tasty fruits are fine too... LOL!)
