i need to vent. this is SO pissy-fying. it all started when dad wanted to tape the football match between mannchested united and some other team. at first, i didnt hear it from dad's mouth that he wanted me to tape 'cause he's going for some wedding. only my mom told me, she said it was at 9pm. then before 9pm, my dad called to remind us, im very sure i heard him say 9pm, in fact i even remember myself saying, "9pm right? channel 22? who vs who arh?" then since my mom was mopping the floor, it became really inconvenient for me to walk out of the room at 9pm without leaving footprints all over the floor, so i started to tape at 8.45pm. guess what? the match actually started at 9.45pm, since i started taping like 1 hour earlier, there wasnt enough time left to tape the entire match. so my dad and bro is damn pissed. and they start making noise. and my poor mom, 'cause dad was kinda arguing with her that he was very sure he said 9.30 while my mom heard 9pm. i mean like come on! its ONLY football. its not the finals, its not like as if cable doesnt repeat any matches. there are like tons of repeats. and man utd sucks, they have been losing like mad. (ok, im not a man utd fan, heck, im not a football fan) and everytime my dad and bro watch football, and since man utd has been playing so badly, they were so heated up, swearing at the bloody tv. its like so TOTALLY stupid. they have watched like tons of football matches. argh.

*cool down*

ok, fine. to be fair, i can relate to the feeling of missing a show or something. since i go practically mad when i download sp videos, and the very last moment, when its 99%, the transfer fails, i will be damn pissed. but come on lar, there are so many other chances to download it again. just like there will repeats on channel 22 and they can watch it again, if they really want too. this is SO stupid.

and my poor mom. she probably felt very bad. its like the whole day she was in super bad mood. who knows why? probably the stress, her colleagues, or the fucking ministry of education. lets hope that tomorrow or rather later, since its already 1 am, everything will be all right again.

the lp concert is in 22 june. im going with pam and her friends. a little awkrawd lar, since i dont even know her friends. but then i guess we all lp fans can get crazy together:) my bro is probably going, but im sure he doesnt wanna "bring" me along. we arent exactly the closest of siblings. so there.

im probably going to bangkok on the 19-21 june. its a super super short trip. mom wans to come back on the 22 june, but lp concert is on that day and i dont wanna miss it. so she's trying to take leave on the 18 june. but her fucking supervisor in that fucking ministry is so fucked up that its gonna be difficult to take leave.

i dont know. i dont wanna miss the lp concert. its really once in a lifetime, how often do they come to singapore to perform? unless i plan to migrate to the states in the near future, i might never see them live again. bangkok, well, i can go anytime, it will always be there. so if i were to choose between bangkok or linkin park, i would say linkin park. i dunno about the rest of the family or not. my bro aint going, my dad really doesnt shop at all, he's just going 'cause we ladies are going (im going with my aunt) and i guess he doesnt want to let us go alone. my mom, she dislikes shopping, she's just going 'cause to 'pei' wo i guess. the real shoppers are my aunt and i. so i guess, if we all dont go, there wont be huge disappointment? i dont know. its like my parents dislike crowded areas (they enjoy peace & quiet) , thats why they seldom go out. and bangkok, its overpopulated, its crowded, traffic congestion, high air pollution, due to rural to urban migration, there is a large influx of rural people migrating to bangkok to look for more job opportunities, cause their home towns doenst have enough jobs. resulting in slums, no proper sewage in the slums, overcrowding in the slums, wait, too much geog, but then i love geog:)

oh yeah, this reminds me of something. my aunt goes very often to bangkok to shop, so she's asking me along. then of course, i want to go. (i mean shopping!!! most likely, FREE shopping!!! FREE!!!) then my mom goes, "you want to go bangkok? bangkok is very hot and dirty, you dont know how its like, are you sure?" geez, im like, i study on bangkok lor. im not trying to say that im an expert or anything. neither can the textbooks be reliable all the time, but really! i guess my parents just dont like crowded areas. sometimes, i wonder, if im their daughter, 'cause we are like so different...
