The typical strict father and the boyfriend

By the auditor
woo. I'm feeling a lil woozy.

no. not thanks to alcohol. thanks to cough syrup.
what the hell right? i don't like this cough syrup because it makes me dam blur (im already quite blur to begin with) but i have no choice because I've been coughing so much...

1. I forget what I wanted to say after i cough when i'm talking
2. I cough so often, I feel like I'm disturbing the class or drowning the lecturer's voice when he/she is teaching.

ok, blogging about coughing IS related to my crisis.

crisis --> emo --> insomia --> weak immune system --> bad cough

I know I sound like a drama queen. You know how sometimes you find some issue such a big deal but after awhile when you look back, you don't feel like it's such a big deal after all. That's exactly how I feel.

But I shall still tell you my crisis so that you can say "cheh...." after you read it.

Basically, dad was looking at my phone bill and apparently, I sent 2000 over smses in one month. I was trying to save money okay? I hardly made any phone calls at all, guess that was a stupid move because smart daddy starts to think..."something's fishy"

In to my room he came and started scolding me about my smses, and *GASP* he SAW my phone on the table! what do you think he did? He took it la of course, and my immediate response was to snatch but he already kept it in his pocket.

I freaked out. First person i called was Jie-Xing. obviously. I need to tell him to stop smsing me so that my dad won't read the inbox. Then he suggested that I ask one of my friends to call my handphone, hoping that my dad will return the phone back to me since there's a phone call. Called ching mun and hui eng but they didn't pick up the phone. Then called Shu Ling but she ended up calling my house phone (miscommunication) and my mother said "Li Hong's busy" when I wasn't!

No prizes for guessing what happened after that...

My dad read my smses and his first question was "Who's Jie Xing?". 2nd question was "Why do you sms him so much?"

Seeing that there's no point lying since I have "I love you" messages in my phone, I told the truth, i said he's my boyfriend. Obviously, honesty isn't exactly the best policy at times like this.

My dad was furious. He said a lot of hurtful things like..
1. I'm damn cheap
2. I'm desperate
3. I *fatt hau*
4. I stick to people like glue. (because I sms Jie-Xing constantly)

sigh. what was I to do. now I remember why I delayed blogging this post for so long, I didn't want to recount the moment, it's like reliving it.

From all his scoldings, here's approximately what my father thinks of me after reading the smses..
1. that I don't study because I spend all my time smsing.
2. that I don't study because I don't sms about my studies but about "where to lepak after and before class"

so you get the point. he thinks I never study. which normal human being studies and talks about studies everyday?! Ok, if you're one of them, I admire you for being so driven.

feeling extremely woozy and drowsy now...so I'll have to cut this short

The punishment was bad. He took my phone, kept it for a week. Took out the phone in my room too. So I had no contact with the outside world. He threatened to change college, because he knew Jie-Xing was in HELP too. My parents would drop me in HELP exactly before my class and pick me up right after class so that I'll have less time to spend wit the boyfriend.

Jie-Xing has been a darling throughtout this difficult time. He would stay up late so that we could talk on the phone, he gave me his old phone so that we can keep in touch, he accompanied me even if we had 15 minutes to spend together before I had to go home. He didn't have to go through this together with me, he could have just broke with me because my mother called his mother to ask him not to "disturb" me anymore. But He didn't. He could have just gotten another girl who doesn't have strict parents and made his life easier. But he didn't. Thank you so much dear, I'll be the best wife ever ;)

Current Situation
Things got slightly better after Parents Teacher Day meeting.

Thanks to my oh-so-lovely lecturers who sang praises of me ^^

Slightly better as in...I got back my handphone AND my dad wanted to get my present!
Because I got pretty good results =)

It's either my parents
a) couldn't care less if I have a bf now since my results are good
b) thought I broke up with him because of the pressure they bestowed upon me

The make-or-break factor is "my results"
If I score badly for my finals, it's sayonara for me.

so if you ever see me...motivate me to study please. don't nag, motivate ;)
