Family issues

Winds of change comes faster than my lousy mood. Was complaining about rain in the last blog and the latest trend is Hot HOT HOT. Natural air is so bloody hot that merely stepping into an aircon car or a mall send me sneezing. 

 

SEE SEE SEE! Wearing sleeveless and sneezing again! Ken concludes I sneeze when my pits are unprotected by tank tops. “Cover up! Your pits are catching a cold!” Impressive observations and such indisputable correlation causation… I like. 

My husband is indeed a person of Science. He even conducts a scientific experiment to prove his hypothesis by blowing on my pits and command “SNEEZE!”. Unfortunately, my pits dun understand English. Chinese Ed, as my mum will say…

 

I like to believe I am a person of Science too. For example, these days my feet feel heavier, am totally struggling to lift them up to walk to office. I sense Mother Earth evolving. This freak weather even exerts greater gravitational pull than usual. I share my exciting observation with Dotter. Was roasted.

 

“Mum, I think it is more likely the increase in your mass causing greater Pull of Attraction.” 

 

Burn. Teenagers can be so mean. M hurt. 

 

Ken dismisses the blatant misinformation by explaining that “gravitational pull is constant, does not increase with mass. She is using bad science to body shame you!”. Damn it… who to believe? Meggi complains that my Architecture degree is not helping her at all in school science, BUT she is not asking that Chemistry grad in the house either!!! Chain of suspicion and lack of trust… we need to re-visit some old family issues.

Studious and inquisitive me, borrow tons of library books, turn on the aircon, notebook at my side then struggle to understand Newton or the whole logic of it all, diagrams and sentences. Eventually I yearn under pressure of late charges on every single Physics library book, clocking at a whooping S$9.70!!!! 

Honestly my feeble brain can only understand Youtube videos like “computer scientist explains Zero Knowledge Proof in 5 levels of Difficulties”…. I mean I can understand up to the first 30%.... hahaha… Google and ChatGBT, you are not helping much!!

Da most beautiful face in Chinese period drama is on Netflix again… invite Dotter to enjoy the view together but watching period dramas with her is so exasperating. “Why he cant’t just tell her he likes her?!!... everyone can see through this disguise… why all the old people have so much hair?... why she….”

 

Wait a minute… old people with so much hair … yah you are right!

Ancient Chinese men figured something out… Is the formula lost? 

Because one day I reach home and puke on Kenneth’s new look. Call me Oppa. Sorry, no, Cannot look at you for the next two weeks. Why oh why? Gives it more oomph, hide the receding hairline… Yahhhhh… But so oomph that neighbor's son notice woooh and come asking where he gets his Korean perm done. Wah…

I shall spend more time with people who make me feel better about myself – MORGI, WHERE ARE YOU???

He is in the world of CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS now. And he has his first crush – Erica Wang. It is quite a serious crush because mention the name and he blushes and shy away. Then he starts asking me for her phone number. Who is she? New Chinese neighbor?  What do you want to tell her? … “I want to tell her she looks good. Her hair looks good”. 

Oh… there you are. Erica Wang…. Nice Hair…

 

And yes, such beautiful mother and son bonding session will suddenly see the other nice hair person wedge himself right in the middle. He declares himself CAPTAIN UNDERSTAND with the snap of the fingers. Tra-lah-laaah! 投其所好也不用做到那么low吧。

 In other news, I have nothing else to do in my life so I eat eat eat…Captain Understand too.
