Our family always has family meeting session after dinner. My little brother -- Albert asked for permission from dad, wanted to go for 3 days leadership camp at Langkawi Island which was organised by Prefectorial Board. Although the island was just 45 minutes sea distance away from Kuala Perlis. Dad asked Albert what were the reasons that he wanted to go to Langkawi so badly. However, it appeared that whatever sensible reasons that my poor brother raised, were rejected mercilessly. It was considered very lucky to Albert as he never gone through what I did last time.
Back then, I was also a prefect at school. Same thing happened, The Prefect Board organised 2 days camp at school. Every prefect was required and compulsory to present at the leadership camp. Since I received the 'command' from my board, I thought I showed the letter to "The Emperor" of my house so that he could grant me a chance to experience it as I never attended any camps before. As a result, It was not what I expected. Dad actually got mad at me once I showed him the application form and letter of declaration. He tore off the papers and dumped towards my face and yelled at me with a tone greater than thunder! My heart was hit by bullets which initiated from his M16 ( Machine Gun) BULLS EYE!!! My eyes burst into tears, dripping then flowing out like waterfall! He scolded me badly and insisted not letting me to participate by giving me unacceptable and silly reasons. Later on, beaten me up...and finally, refused to talk to me for 3days! Man, I was just 13 years old.
It would be okay if he said he couldn't allow me to participate in a nice way. I would get it. But it was way very sarcastic and ridiculous the way he rejected and treated me. I had feelings even I was just a kid. Those hard feelings weren't as easy as what I could describe here. It was just a small issue but later on lead to resignation of my position as a prefect at school. My dad was furious, he went to scold my school discipline teacher about the camp ( as every prefect board activity was passed through discipline teacher)
Was there no other way? Why my dad so 'violent', conservative and over protective? Sigh... From that on, all the school teachers knew about my dad, I became popular after the incident happened. I was forced to resign my post. My world became upside down...
Well, I advised Albert and told him what I gone through before him, hopefully he understands why daddy didn't allow him to participate. That will be a lesson for him to learn how to become one of my dad's 'obedient' children. What would be the outcome if he disobeyed daddy. Poor thing.
Crystal Method
How I wished I could touch the snow in summer as if I am living in my dreams. I know that's lame, but this is my only way to make my life simpler and happier.

Did you watch the Singapore movie Xiao Hai Bu Ben? This movie just tell us all the parent in the world love their childrens and care about them.
They just have a different way to express it. Sometimes you just can't accept their way and think they are wrong or overbearing.
Like my Dad, you know if I tell him about Omnia. He sure will scold me. He definite tell me "what use you spend for such an expensive phone. Get a cheap one, phone is just for making call only nia! If you got extra $$$ save it in bank!" He dun know my interest, if I explain to him. He also not understand at all.
Oh..My mum leh. If I tell her, wow cannot stand. She will mumbling...mumbling and keep mumbling. "Why you dun wan to keep your extra $$$, you just like to waste $$$. Can't you think about your future? Keep some $$$ to buy car or house. Find a girl, maybe you want to get married in future". She will repeat this all day. Can you imagine that, but this is my Dad and Mum.
Why they are so annoying? Do you think they like to be like that? IF YOU WATCH THE XIAO HAI BU BBEN, YOU WOULD KNOW THE ANSWER. Because this is for your own good lol. Maybe you dun like the way they are, but they are your nearest. The one who love you the most.
So far I love them very much coz I have my own way to live with them. Ha..ha..that is the secret oh. Just try your own way like I do. Good Luck Lia!
Thanks, but please dun mistaken as I ALWAYS LOVE MY PARENTS and I WILL LOVE THEM FOREVER!Sometimes it's hard to tolerate with them but I would love to tell you that I obey them all the time and listen to them no matter what!
Where on earth parents do not love their children? Sometimes I have to write out my feelings, I vent all my frustrations, disagreements .... in my blog, this is the best alternative that I can do to distress myself. Didn't have any bad intentions at all! I have no one to turn to, what I can do is just blogging.
I used to keep my very own nice and handmade diary. I wrote my diary everynight before I turn in. However I felt insecure as I thought someone might have read my diary. I have 6 diaries, 3 diaries per year..sometimes I wrote up to 4 or 5 pages per day. Jot down every details of my life.
Despite, I feel good with sharing my joys and sorrows with my friends..In a way, they can understand me better.
