Why is that whenever I think life is going great something happens/someone does something to change it all?

Because, I know both you and Dad think that Cindy and I will grow up to be unfilial daughters and that's what you've been thinking since forever but seriously, give us a break. I'm pretty sure you're just bullshitting when you say that you weren't even a tinsy bit self-centred when you were about our ages, because, WHICH KID ISN'T. And the worst part is? You most probably were that self-centred but you just didn't realise it because your parents didn't have the time to be over-sensitive and ignore you just because you were doing it. My verdict? You stop condemning me (or Cindy) because sometimes we seriously misinterpret your actions and then you get all PMS-y/menopause-y and ignore us. Why is it forever OUR fault? Is it some unwritten rule that if you're the kid, you're forever in the wrong? I remember that one time, it wasn't my f'ing fault and I was forced to apologize or the entire argument will never end. When it wasn't my f'ing fault. And I'm serious, it wasn't. It's not my fault Dad didn't bring his phone. It's not my fault that I smsed him that I was held back for some unforeseen reasons. It's not my fault that he didn't read the sms because he didn't bring it. So who's fault is it? Oh right, the Dad's. But who apologized? The daughter. Makes a whole lot of sense when you look at it that way, huh?

And it's not like we never make an effort. The only reason why I'm baking another batch was because yesterday's was too little and I know you like to eat them. And here you are, saying it comes naturally from the both of us. What are you implying? That we're selfish? Okay, I most probably am, but this just means I got it from YOU. And I still have to play nice or you'll get even more pissed, then Dad will find out about it when he gets back tonight, then the both of us will get scolded, and then what? You blame us for ruining the weekend. If you even take some time, and even TRY to listen to our explanations; these kind of stuff will never happen. If you even bother to open your mind and reason with yourself over our explanations, you will see that we are making an effort, but maybe it's just so easy for you to neglect it because why? You forever think you're right, and we're forever in the wrong. We're the selfish ones. We're the self-centred ones. And you're what? The perfect one? I know you're tired of being a working mom. So quit your job. I don't even get why you want to have another job when you have one that keeps you busy enough. It's not like we're strapped for cash. Then you make it seem like its all our fault that you're so busy and we don't appreciate you enough. You blame my attitude. And how is my attitude nurtured? Oh that's right; from my upbringing, isn't it.

And has it ever occurred to you how different the levels of stress from our times are? You didn't study in such a competitive environment like Singapore. Technically, you had it easier. So if we don't take the time from our busy schedules of tuition and whatnot just to smile longer and keep our temper, we apologize dearly. I admit, I can be snappy and my tolerance level is about as low as it can get; but I do try to HOLD my temper in. Do you try that? Not everyone is naturally as almost-all-the-time-good-tempered as you are, you know. And now? I still have to try bridge up whatever Cindy screwed up with you, or you'll just use it as another one more point to throw back at us should we ever have this huge fight.

I don't know what sort of kid you thought yourself as, but I'm damn certain if MY kid acted this way I'd try my best to listen and understand. And not do what YOU are doing, being some bitch.

Oh God, my family is so screwed up.
