Strawberry generation.

That's what my teacher said. Where we are from.

It may seem easy but it isn't. Easily spoken but definitely not easily done. Or maybe it's just me. I do want it like crazy but I don't seem to have the expected commitment and perseverance. 3 meals to 2 meals. Isn't that reducing my portion of food intake already? :( I don't starve myself and I had never let myself feel hungry. Now, I experience the grumbling of my stomach. Instead of encouraging, you seem to pressurize me. It may seem like the right thing to do to you. But honestly it isn't. Why rub it in? As if I can't see the flaws I have.

She said I've been giving you attitude like I did before. I just don't wanna listen to hurtful words. I'm indirectly stopping you.
As if I don't know how studies are important.
As if I don't know how much I have to study before I sit for a test.
As if I don't know how much weight I have to lose to meet everyone's expectations.
People may get annoyed with me with my constant complaints about my weight and look. But honestly, I'm just terribly annoyed with myself. My constant crave for food.

Mum, stop. Just for a while. Please?

Everyone has their own opinions.

You are one of the wisest one I've known. But the bad temperament that you have kinda take my initial thoughts away every single time. You told me about a friend of yours who failed to handle freedom. Bad things happened. But she, she is already 20 this year but you still aren't letting her go. Why don't you trust her? Why don't you try to slowly let her go then decide if she can actually handle freedom. I can assure you that she won't end up like your friend. I wonder what's hindering you from treating her the same way you treat us - friendlier, with sense of humour & telling us things we don't know all the time. Why?

I know you are intelligent, smart & knowledgeable. No, these don't mean the same to me. You explained the actual meaning of 'alcoholic' & how people misuse the term. You told me how important it is to focus one thing at a time. You also told me many other stuff. You are like a father to me. From all the knowledge and experience you had, I'm sure you are wiser than you were before. But after so many years, things between you & her barely improved. I'm sure you have your reasons. But what are the reasons? Have you told us enough? Or more reasons are still kept to yourself?

We may not be as educated as you, formally and informally. But we do not deserve to be looked down on.

Three of us went all the way to Malaysian Food Street, Sentosa to try if the Malaysian food here is as good as ones we tried by the original cook back in Malaysia. Sadly, it wasn't as good. It wasn't worth it to drive all the way to Sentosa from Serangoon. But we won't know if we didn't try. Three of us ate 7 dishes & took 1 away. Crazy or what?
