ramblings, basically.

Song: Disney - Joy To The World

Ah, I bought the Disney: A Magical Christmas like when I was primary one or something. It's so godly adorable, it has the various Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Daffy Duck (his voice is SO obvious), etc, and kids to sing the Christmas tunes. So adorable!

Yesterday while I was drying the wet dishes in the kitchen, my brother was putting them back into the cabinet.
Bro: Eee, it's still wet.
I: The towel's wet lah.
Bro: Want me to smack you?
I: I'll smack you twice.
Bro: Use your t-shirt to dry it.
I: Hello?
Bro: It's called professionalism.

Anyway, my granny is currently going on about my mum - how she doesn't care when her children's examinations are around the corner, she still switches on the TV volume to pretty loud, and laughs at her programmes so loudly, and sleeps in the afternoon not caring about her kids.

Oh my god. I have nothing to say.

Who am I kidding, really? The irony. She's complaining about my mum for disturbing us when we're studying. I really was studying and she's going on and on about my mum. Hmm I wonder what pot calling the kettle black is in Teochew.

And if she's going nuts because you accused her of not ironing my brother's clothes when she did (and she was delighted when my brother argued with my granny this morning because he knew she did iron it. And oh yeah their argument woke me up this morning.) and she needs sleeping pills because you put her under that load of stress - stress of not pleasing the mother-in-law, stress of not finishing the household chores, stress of being bitched about when something goes wrong (and is often unaware of what she's being bitched about), I don't really see why she cannot take naps in the afternoon.

And I don't see why her line-dancing friends should be accused of leading her astray. Because they earned her a life, apart from being cooped up at home, facing four walls, a broom, a moping stick, sewing machine, the wok, etc and most importantly, her face. It's almost very crucial to have a life apart from all that or I would have a mum living her life in an asylum.

Then, she goes on about how my aunt (mum's sis) used to make my mum this way because she drilled in the concept of my granny practising favouritism on my brother, and being biased towards me. Face it, at least for a while you were. And my aunt's pretty much innocent now, so leave her alone, really. Why rake up the past, eh?

Oh yeah and my granny mentioned something about guys at her line-dancing class. She asked me, a few weeks back, if there are guys at the line-dancing class. Haha. Haha. Hahahahaha. And you would think she'd be asking me if I was hanging out with boys, if they're good company and all or not. Noooo, she asks me about my mum. That's quite hilarious, you think? :p I've seen her classes before, the dudes there dance with their wives, which is why for the longest time she did try to convince my dad to join the classes with her. But knowing my dad, he'd rather die than do such a thing. Haha.

And besides, my mum hasn't had a social circle in ages until line-dancing came along. Suddenly when she goes out with 'friends' to have meals or attend birthday gatherings, there's always that suspicion my granny has. It's quite weird. Like why can't my mum have such gatherings when my brother goes to them all the time?

Whee, I'm biased.

I really wanted to stop there but she just started again. So I shall continue too! She's saying something about my mum not being very friendly with the relatives (on dad's side). Well, for one, they aren't very lovely, smiley, 'hi, how're ya?' sort of people. My mum's side is though I'm far from being close to them. For two, you bitch about her to them all the time, you're expecting her to be friendly to people who're not on her side already without justification? For three, you bitch about the relatives on her side, why should she be delighted and gladly socialising with the relatives on your side?

I wish Seige's computer wasn't down cos she would be able to understand all these. :p
