headache for the past week. stupid mom.
she threatened again. (obviously) and this time round, she really did carry out her threat. (whatever)
i placed studies over housework and only do housework after i feel that my life's balanced. (balanced = work and play) meaning, i only do housework after i've done my hw and my share of reward. (well, homework ranks first. what comes after homework? reward --- play.) and guess what did she did?
"from today onwards, you'll wash your own clothes." and she didn't wash a single linen of mine for the whole week.
what makes matters worse is that i can't really wash my clothes. one, i can't operate the washing machine and don't know how much washing powder to put either. two, by washing them myself, in her eyes, im actually showing an act of defiance. (well. women don't speak their minds. "wash yourself" = i dun wash for you and i dare you to wash them yourself.)
the first one is easily overcomed. ryan found the washing machine manual for me in the internet.
the second one... im screwed.
alternative ONE: i don't wash. and what if she doesnt wash them till next week? im better off screwed wearing the same uniform for two weeks. zzz. and even if she does wash them, she'll force me to do housework and put it as priority. i mean, seriously, that's a dumb thing to do; fufilling her love of cleanliness at the expense of my homework time? oh please. im no mugger. but im no idiot too cuz im clear that homework may help me to pass promo.
alternative TWO: i wash them. and she sees it as an act of defiance. "fine, you want to wash them yourself, then you'll do all your chores yourself. meet the parents day don't ask me to go. don't expect pocket money too. bus fare, living expenses...you'll pay for yourself." this, is the LEGENDARY second threaten. (well, it could be the "ULTIMATUM"** too.)
so either way, im still screwed. that's what im fretting over. to wash, or not to wash? you know, it's never the environment that puts you in a sticky situation, it's the humans. that's why i seldom take photos of humans. i mean, why bother capturing the images of humans that enthralls in putting others in a dilemma? that's a stupid, stupid thing to do.
love your enemies? sorry, im not that generous yet. and perhaps i'll never be.
anyway jiamu, this's what im stressed over. that pail of clothes frays my nerves as though it has grown a seedling in this mind of mine. and the moment i was clear of the two paths before me, frayed nerves broke and shattered.
and to qiwei, thanks for analysing this subject with me, bud. though we found no solutions, but it provided a temporary tape to tape my broken and frayed nerves.
to mom, you'll never see this, but i thought it should come to you that taureans are STUBBORN? the more one wants to change their way of living, the more the taurean will hold steadfast to their used way of living. oh, it doesn't come across to you like this? too bad then.
to ryan, thanks for fretting this with me and finding the washing machine manual. but im still considering my way-outs. im trying to source for a solution desperately now cuz operating the washing machine sounds oddly perilous. imagine me using a washing machine and imagine a monkey working on a bull dozer. they sound the same to me...
homework this weekend:
1. study for LEP2 test
2. revise chapter 7A,B,C
3. do touch rugby research (i found lots of websites that has its terminologies in it but none having simplified rules of touch rugby T_T)
4. finish up econ B chap 3 notes. (don't think can finish it though. keynes sounds daunting enough, plus an accelerator and inflationary gap and deflationary, it sounds...don't bother.)
im gonna go bath now and wash my socks and wash lai laoshi's dress. i hope the whole stupid i-dont-want-to-wash-your-clothes thing end soon enough. because you know why? if this doesn't end soon, you'll probably see me with a shiny head that puts mr wee to shame soon enough.
** ULTIMATUM threaten is chasing me out of the house. LEGENDARY threaten is that she has no relationship or whatsoever with me. in other words, im only staying in her house. living expenses, phone bills, sewing are all to be paid myself.
