Well, friday met up with mon to get some stuff before stuffing ourselves silly in Sakae sushi. Tried our best to chat while being constantly blasted by sec sch stereos.
So on sat, it was JJ's 21st birthday celebration. It was rather fun. After eating, chatting and playing wheel of fortune, we finally went down to the basketball courts where me and mon played shadow basketball. KW was freaked out by us as usual. So, the guys when to get alcohol and I was in this big dilemma(sp) as to whether I should stay over or go home, and as usual, I left the decision to mon. Gosh, I am really indecisive. So in the end, we decided to go home at 11pm and waited for eileen for 30mins before going off by ourselves.
Actually, I realised that it was a good decision to leave cause I was rather tired when I reached home..
So yea, now to what happened just now when I was chatting with my mum. During dinner, my mum told us that my aunt decided to live in Japan because the things there are so organized and the service is very good compared to Singapore. Then she said that we shall see it for our own eyes when we go to japan after I graduate. So, I said, "Actually me and mimiyan plan to go to japan 3-4 years after I graduate for backpacking."
GUESS WHAT SHE SAID
She replied, "NO! I want you to accompany me there."
I said, "Yea, I will be going with you first after I grad, but after 4 years of working and saving, I will go with her."
Silence...
I still don't like the idea of you going. What if something happens to you? I will be hurt forever.(something around this line, I forget the exact one) Being the only daughter, you have the responsibility to blah blah, i forgot le.
Even ****** also realise that being the only daughter, she has responsibilities. (****** is my outside tennis friend) She once told me that she doesnt anyhow go out cause she knows that she has to take care of her mother.
I was speechless..
Later, she asked me, "So are you angry after you heard what I said?"
I was still in a daze so I replied no.
Later, I thought more about it, and something in me started to sizzle. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY RESPONSIBILITIES?!?!? Ok, I know I have the responsibility to take care of my parents, but does that mean that I have to give up on my dreams!??! AND, its not like I am going to war or Iraq, ITS GOD DAMN JAPAN!!! Also, I am not going with some weakling, its MONICA LA! The girl who saved us from paying extra even though we wasted lots of food in Sakae!!
I TOTALLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND MAN!! ITS OK IF SHE WORRIES, BUT WHEN IS SHE GONNA LEARN THAT I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF?!?!?!
Oh man, I sound like some teenage lian. Haha.. =p
In conclusion, my mum still does not have enough confidence in me. So, from now on, I would have to strive to gain her confidence through studies and work!
YOSH!!!!!!

There's this Chinese saying that goes 养儿一百岁，长忧九十九.
Or if it doesn't show up, Yang Er Yi Bai Sui, Zhang You Jiu Shi Jiu.
It's beyond how confident they are in your ability to take care of yourself. Even when you're in your forties, they'll still worry.
She just... Loves you. That's all.
