I am Jack’s Stupid Little Throttle

Today was an insane family day.

Little bro was very angry because we picked him up late from the tuiton center thanks to a major traffic jam. Then we went to Jaya Jusco for lunch because I wanted to go to the bookshop to buy some educational cd-roms. My mom spotted another service apartment launch display thingy and just had to have a look. She was very keen because for the very low downpayment of 800 bucks, you can own a 4-bedroom serviced apartment with full condo facilities! I said, ok let’s go view the showhouse -> 30km away.

So we drove all the way there and got lost many times. The fucking showhouse was in the middle of nowhere. Later in the car, mom gets very upset when I inform her that nobody will ever fucking rent the apartment due to its tragic location.

So we drive her home and then me and dad go out to the Giant Hypermart to buy a new iron because I broke mine and I simply have to have one bcos I iron a shirt and pants every morning for work. When I finally choose one - the Phillips N221 model which retailed for 79 bucks, Dad said we had to go test to see if it worked (something I don’t do because it should work duh). So the stupid tester decided to test the light bulb of a malay chick behind my dad in the queue which totally pissed him off and he got really angry and started shouting. So it ends up we didnt buy it there, but went to Carrefour instead where I had to settle for a dunnowhatfuck brand for 59 bucks because they didnt have the model I wanted earlier. Thanks a lot, dad!

Then at dinner, Mom throws a tantrum because dad and me go ferchristsakes when she complains about everything from the table we chose, location of the ventilation, cutlery and the final straw was when she complained her noodles smelt funny.

Really rotten day.

lol…the trouble over an iron. Should have gone alone I guess. Your mom sounds like my dad, only in female version. That is, if she also mercilessly hassles the restaurant staff.

damn dude… I think it is time to move away from your parents…. far far away… like another country…
When you only see your folks once a month… the experience is always more pleasant =)
