Accusations
I hate accusations. I hate being accused and that's probably why I always feel bad accusing others.
My mother misunderstood me over something really insignificant and the worse was that she presented me in a very negative image to my uncle. Not like I care what my uncle thinks of me. But, I was very disappointed with my mother as she didn't ask me the reason behind that silly, little matter and just announced to the whole wide world that it was solely my mistake. I was expecting my mother to be matured and rational in handling this issue but, I guess I was just being too wistful and impractical.
However, I'm more disappointed with myself - I didn't have the guts to tell her what happened and I think I never will.

Cool Quote
" Autobiography loses it's lustre when everyone is doing it. "
- Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy's lead singer)-
Yeah, I totally agree with him. I'm actually surprised that he could produce some meaningful quotes like that. Or, perhaps that's the only meaningful one coming out of his mouth.
I'm a proud owner of an autobiography - Steven Gerrard's. Well, I am a fan of him and dear, it took me quite some time looking for it. But, it was all worth it. At least, I think it was - He's the captain of the giant Liverpool and has inspired the entire squad to stardom. So, I guess it's safe to say he's worth reading about.
However while I was searching high and low for that book, I bumped into a couple of autobiographies of people (sportspeople) whom I don't think have the calibre or credit to publish books about their chronicles. Some examples would be Ashley Cole, Damien Duff, and et cetera. These are players who have got no credentials to brag about. I totally agree with a football pundit who said that players can publish their very own autobiographies only after they have retired. I mean, it's reasonable to perceive Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Roger Federer on the cover of their books. They are world record breakers, winners of countless titles and in short, legends. But, Ashley Cole?! Oh, come on!
Recently, I heard the news that Amber Chia has come out with an auto of her own. I don't know, I still don't think she's that great to actually pen down her story. Maybe, she's the only local model who can make it abroad and that's why people think she's a great character to analyse or, maybe I'm just jealous of her. Oh, whatever!

No Matter What
We had this sort of family gathering yesterday. In fact, we have this sort of gathering like every week that it no longer feels like a gathering. It feels more like a habit now. Anyway, the family gathering was held with a cause - to celebrate the 1st anniversary of my nephew's existence into this brutal realm. Yes, at such a tender age, he has already made a fortune out of his birthday. My father gave him RM 200 and I heard that all the other uncles and aunties bestowed him a whopping amount of cash. (Grumbling) Hey, I didn't receive such a fortune during my birthday! In fact, nobody had realised that it was my birthday! JUSTICE???!!!!
Jealousy aside, yesterday was a bitter-sweet experience to me, I guess. The entire occasion was occupied with loud clamour and deafening noise. I wasn't comfortable at all in the restaurant. My aunt, as always was screaming and yelling across the table for no particular reason. I don't get her, really. At that point of time, I was so eager to seal her wide lips with sticky tape or even to stuff her large mouth with a bun. She was lucky because I couldn't find those items in the restaurant. She was bloody annoying, man. I have never enjoyed loud noises. I know, I know, you must be cursing me by now. But, seriously, I really can't stand high volume voices. For the record, I get annoyed easily. I know, it's difficult to please me. Well, I'm renown for that, you know?
But, things started to change as time goes by. All of us started blurting out lame jokes and stale stories. My aunts and uncles started teasing each other and we, the next generation started chuckling at their seemingly ridiculous acts. I guess, we are truly carrying the same blood after all. We tend to take them for granted. But, they are the ones who treat us with sincerity in the end. There may be a list of things we loathe about our family, but we cannot deny the fact that we are related to one another. I started to feel very warm towards the end of the celebration and I realise that this gathering is worth it.
I admire my father a lot. Besides being a responsible and caring husband and father, he is also a very good uncle (in my opinion lah). He never jerks back when my cousins are caught in troubles. I have this cousin who is adored by all my aunts and uncles, including my father. However, she has offended all of them lately. It was because there was once where she was offered a job in Singapore and every single member of the Teh was very happy for her and even gave her some money to start a brand new life abroad. Some of my uncles and aunts weren't in a stable financial condition. Still, they voluntarily handed her money. She didn't elaborate on what happened in Singapore but she returned after a day or two there. She couldn't get the job but she spent my aunts and uncles' hard-earned money on luxurious stuffs during her stay in Singapore. All of them went ballistic and now, no longer care about her. My father was mad too but, has quickly forgotten about this incident and still constantly invites her over to our house for dinner or gathering. My father has always believed in the saying that "blood is thicker that water". He even guarantees her that all her aunts and uncles will not scold her and will not mention about the past anymore. Awww... yeah, I'm a very proud daughter of my father. Though I admire my papa, I don't think I would forgive her for the rest of my life if I were my father or one of my aunts. Hey, it's the result of my blood-shedding and sweat-sweeping moments, ok? But, since it's not my money, I am sitting on the fence and care less about this issue. I still greet her and talk to her as usual. Plus, she remembers my birthday every year and posts various birthday gifts to me. Why should I go against her, anyway?
Hence, the moral of the story is that family will never change no matter what. (Gee, sounds so lame lah.)

Wanting to Spread My Wings
I asked my bro yesterday of whether he knows the route to the heartbeat of Kuala Lumpur - Bukit Bintang. He told me very few details which didn't give me the audacity to travel there on my own. But, I really want to go there. You know, walking alone around all the malls and tourist spots. It must be really cool. I have never felt such a strong desire in me to step out of my house until yesterday. Perhaps my mother was right when she said that I'm beginning to become 'fat hau', wanting to go here and there without anyone telling me what I should do and where I should go. I have always considered myself as a home-sick type of homo sapien. I would rather stay put at home, watching my favaorite tele programmes, playing some pokemon games and listening to some soothing music. I guess I've changed - Now, all I'm thinking about is to walk around different, interesting places and really, to walk and enjoy the sight-seeing. At times, I really do want to fly abroad and try living beyond Malaysia's national boundary (who doesn't want to?). Perhaps, I won't like it at all or I would actually learn to fancy it but this doesn't matter really. I just want the experience and not to be intimidated by my peers who fly in and out of the country like nobody's business. Upon hearing to their moments overseas, could only precipitate envy and jealousy in me. Well, they have never turned into hatred (don't you worry), just some sort of annoyance i guess.
Are you a fan of David Archuleta, listen here if you are. There is a pretty song that caught my ear drums wanting more. It's entitled 'Touch My Hand' from his self-titled, debut album. Perhaps you should check it out. Tata....
