1) "why you always compare yourself to the worst? you must compare yourself to the best!" and i was telling her on average how our class did.
2) "you better buck up ah!" by telling me to buckup, you are insinuating that i didn't study. bloody hell, you aren't even home to know whether i study or not.
3) "i never say you never study, you just never study properly!" and 2 seconds later she goes, "YOU BETTER STUDY AH I'M TELLING YOU!" in her super high, whiny, screechy voice.
4) "you don't need maths tuition because i can teach you!" have you realised that i've stopped asking you how to do maths after sec 2? it's because i don't understand what the hell you're talking about.
5) "you are not one of those smart people so you must study!" so you're saying i'm stupid lah? damn encouraging.
and the list goes on.
but the reason i'm quite pissed now is because you are making assumptions about me based on what you think teenagers in singapore are: lazy people who like to lie. by slapping that sterotype on me, do you think it makes you sound any greater or wiser? do you know me well enough to make claims that i don't study?
i'm sorry i'm not gifted with brains the capacity and ability 3 times of einstein's. i'm sorry i came out a failure of a daughter whom you cannot be proud of solely because i'm not a 10 A1 scoring genius with an iq of 1 million. i'm sorry i cannot make you feel any better about your awesome life by achieving better results than your colleague's friends whom i don't even know. and lastly, i'm sorry i'm not a "perfect" you. but in all due honesty, one of you is more than enough.
another thing, "you are so fat! when i was your age... not so many pimples... tell you to eat cucumber you don't want..." does it make you feel any better than 30 years ago you were chioer, skinnier, had nicer skin than me? are you trying to feel that little bit better about yourself now? "now i fat, because last time some fat person transfer blood to me that's why i gain weight." because as wonderful as you want to sound, you are doing nothing more than finding excuses for yourself.
one last thing, respect is not granted based on age alone but earned when it is deserved.
