I just got scolded by my grandma -again- for being home so late. Her limit is 11pm, and she called me at like 11:02 and scolded me right away. What on earth??? 2 minutes, what's the big deal???

Ok, I reached home at 11:24, and I explained to her that she didn't have to worry coz Ronald and Daisy were driving me home. But tell you what? She didn't care.

I told her that I went for a CCA meeting in school. The CCA meeting ended at around 8:45pm, and we were very hungry so since Ronald had the car, he drove all of us to Tampines Mall for a late meal. And Isaiah ate so much that he took his own sweet time eating his meal. I don't put the blame on him, though. It wasn't because of him, it was because of the chit-chats. I mean, you can't escape from chit-chatting when you have a group meal, can you?? That supper session ended at around 10pm, so Ronald said he's gonna drive 4 of us (5 including Daisy) home. I was kind of sick (coughing, influenza, headache, and a little fever) so I was so glad that someone is sending me home.

Terence lives in Pasir Ris, Steph lives in Punggol, Isaiah lives in Geylang, and Daisy lives in Katong. Since I live near Daisy, I am always the last one to be sent home. Then, unexpectedly, we ran out of petrol, so Ronald had to go to the petrol station. Daisy then bought some stuff from the convenient store nearby. So after all the sending and everything, guess what time did we reach my block? 11:24pm.

My grandma didn't believe me and threatened me that she wanted to ask the school for clarification. She didn't believe that school activities can last until so late. Like duh, that really showed that she didn't trust me lah. Besides, I have already told her the truth, except the fact that I am in the main committee of 2 clubs (I don't tell anyone in my family about this. I don't think they will understand). I know it for sure that she won't and never will go to school and ask for such a childish question. Anyways, Temasek Polytechnic is such a complicated school, unlike the general office in Secondary school where you can ask everything regarding your child/ward. Sh*t, i really wanted to say vulgarities but I am trying to hold my flesh needs as long as I can.

I told her that I was already in the car and she didn't have to worry coz Ronald was driving me home. She still was very angry. What on earth, even if I took the bus, I would also reach home at around the same time. I still needed to eat dinner mah.. my stomach would be upset if I don't. So if I took the bus, I would have to go to the interchange, wait for bus 31, and the whole thing will take around 45mins to 1 hour. Not only that, I have to walk along the Amber Gardens in order to reach home. Ok, perhaps I would reach home a few minutes earlier, but think about this: If somebody's gonna drive you home, why should you choose the bus instead? I mean, the main thing that my grandma was worried about was my safety. Now someone is driving me home, isn't it safer than taking the bus and walk along the dark pavement with 3 construction sites along the pavement but reach home at, say, 11.10? Which one is safer, seriously? Ronald stopped right in front of my block, which one is safer than taking the bus and stop at the freaking far bus stop and have to walk along a dark and quiet pavement???? Besides, I WAS SICK LAH OF COURSE I PREFER THE CAR TO THE BUS!

And it's 11pm, what's the need of scolding? It's not as if I stayed out until morning..

Right after she finished scolding me over the phone, I typed this message in my handphone:
"Sometimes people around you don't understand you. It's hurtful when they blame you for things you didn't do, or for things you are very sure are correct. They get mad at you, don't take your explanations, and think that you are lying. The worst is, you get to see them everyday!"
