Hangover

Slept 7 hours last night but still woke up with a hangover. No I didn't break my fast on alcohol and it was probably due to tiredness heh. Over the course of 2 days, I realised that I'm actually spending a lot of time doing things that I don't agree with/enjoy.

I was with boss for the whole of yesterday. Just because we are meeting Chee Hean, it doesn't mean that I have to be part of everything when I have other things to do. Anyway, I couldn't get on with my work till say 7+ pm last evening. I told my colleague that I'd probably need 2 Extra Value Meals to get myself happy heh

I joked with Darius at 7+ last night that I felt like I had been raped (yeah, it's a horrible thing to say to real rape victims) but it was a kind of surreal stillness at that time when I could look back at the 'ordeal' to take stock of what was happening. Anyway, I left office only at 11+ but the few hours in the evening was more enjoyable than any minute during the day: at least I could clear and not, pile work =)

Woke up feeling groggy but then I had promised Mum to paint the balcony. So with my trusty yandao brother, we started work and got it done in 1+ hrs. Seeing that we still had lots of paint left, Mum wanted (us) to paint our bedroom.

Taf and I protested - there was just no need to paint, and calculating the cost (the time and effort of Taf and myself), it would not be worth it.

Anyway, Mum declared that she'd do it herself and we just resigned and let her do a bit of the prep (newspapering the strategic areas), hoping that she could see the light and realise that it's too much effort for nothing.

After 5 minutes, we heard the first 'tsk' and sigh. We took over.

We were wondering why we were such model kids when our parents were like that (yeah, they have really been blessed). While Taf resigned himself to receiving rewards in heaven, I still wasn't convinced. It's just spoiling our parents, and they are continually behaving more like kids to me. You know, the spoilt brats who cry and roll on the ground till you give in, come on, she could never have been able to complete but she chose to get herself in it. Kids ...

Well, we painted it in the end. We made sure that Mum played no part because we wanted to do it quick =) And though the room looks new, we still feel that it wasn't worth it.

Glad that Mum didn't need much convincing to our plan for Dad's birthday. Just that she was concerned that the people invited would have to spend etc. Anyway, I'm the one spending and if Dad would feel bad, he can always buy me something bigger =)
