Look at that laptop! It's so sleek and clean and... wait, what's that thing sticking onto it? That purple... whatever-it-is.
Let's take a closer look.
Hahaha.
In short, for people who don't read Chinese, the words on that note basically mean 'my exams are over'.
But no!!! This is no cheer for liberation and no symbol to mark our glee towards the end of exams.
Then what is it?
-audible sigh-
Well... Here's how it all began.
---
Hui En was sitting slouching on her pink laptop chair as usual and clicking on various things on her laptop screen. This time, she was chatting with her schoolmate Benjamin C. and playing Mahjong Titans simultaneously.
She heard The Evil Woman's footsteps tromping up the stairs.
"Shit," a small voice in her (Hui En's) mind squeaked. She knew something wrong was about to happen but continued playing Mahjong Titans nonchalantly. Damn it, she was about to lose the game!! The tiles were getting stuck and she's getting no closer to clearing all of them.
The Evil Woman stormed across the very small platform and bellowed, "DO YOU WANT TO GO TO MACDONALD'S FOR SUPPER?"
"No," Hui En replied in a voice which was neither too loud nor soft (so you should this means that it was at a normal speaking tone... not a SHOUT nor a whisper...), neither too jubilant nor unenthusiastic. It sounded, vaguely monotonous and indifferent? (Okay, to be fair, a monotonous/indifferent voice quite often passes off as being 'unenthusiastic'.)
"Sit properly! If you keep slouching like this, you're going to have a curved backbone when you grow up! Your backbone is already curved so you better improve your sitting posture!!!" The Evil Woman hollered at her daughter, jabbing furiously at her shoulder blades.
Hui En kept her mouth shut because she knew that if she spilled all the expletives that were already screaming loudly in her mind, she would be screwed and she'd lose the next few hours of beauty sleep. Oh, and add the fact that The Evil Woman's husband, who also happens to be her father, once told her that he is often sandwiched between his wife and daughters' varying needs.
The Evil Woman headed back to the stairway and before she went down, she yawped once more, "DON'T YOU HAVE TO SLEEP!? DON'T YOU NEED TO REST SINCE YOU HAVE EXAMS?!"
Hui En continued in her monotonous voice (which was beginning to develop a defensive edge, but she was trying hard to conceal it), "I already told you many times that my exams are over."
The Evil Woman took this as an offense to her pure and holy pride and shouted back at her daughter, "SINCE WHEN DID YOU TELL ME MANY TIMES THAT YOUR EXAMS ARE OVER?!"
"That time when you intercom-ed me and asked me to come down for dinner and then I told you that my exams are over and I've told you countless of times on top of that too," Hui En snapped back.
"NO YOU DID NOT! STOP LYING! EVEN IF YOU DID TELL ME HOW WOULD I KNOW IF YOU WERE BEING SERIOUS ABOUT IT! EVERYTIME WHEN I TALK TO YOU I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU'RE LISTENING OR BEING SERIOUS OR NOT." - Obviously, you would know who this came from. (Answer: The Evil Woman, in case you're too stupid to know it.)
"I don't want to talk about it, I know that I've told you many times and I'm not lying to you. You're the one who always forget things when I tell you, you know what, I don't wish to continue this argument anymore," Hui En replied tartly.
The Evil Woman continues her lines of scoldings and accusations as she storms down the stairs and up again, slamming drawers in her room as she sweeps through.
-30 seconds later-
The Evil Woman's Husband came up the stairs to the second floor. He called his daughter's name and then The Evil Woman snapped loudly from her room, "THERE'S NO NEED TO CALL HER NAME! SHE'LL NEVER REPLY ANYWAY!"
As her husband steps into the room she launches into an even more furious explanation of what her daughter has done wrongly and how her daughter is always bloody hell wrong. DAMN IT I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Bloody bloody hell at times I really feel like I hate my mum The Evil Woman. I know it's unfilial and all that shit to feel like this but what the hell? I can live with it, dammit.
I shall never refer to my mother as 'mum' in this blog anymore. SHE SHALL HENCEFORTH BE REFERRED TO AS "The Evil Woman" (or in its abbreviated form, TEW). I can't stand her insane and unreasonable antics/demands anymore GOUD DAMN IT GAHHHHH -screams in frustration-
Anyway, I got pissed enough so after she left for Mac with my brother and my dad, I scribbled furiously on a Post-it Pad that my exams were over and stuck it on her damn laptop. Where she'd definitely see it. She can't bloody deny that I didn't inform her my damn exams are over. Damn you.
On days when she is exceptionally nice to me and not having a mood swing/nervous breakdown/outburst of depression (please circle one), I will feel a little guilty and resume calling her 'mum' again. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, NO. OTHER THAN THAT DAY, NO WAY. NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
On a lighter note, I finally restocked my lipgloss! I finished using the previous one. The new one is pretty good and I like it enough.
GOODBYE AND I SHALL SNUB THE EVIL WOMAN FOR THE SUBSEQUENT FEW DAYS UNLESS IT'S NECESSARY FOR ME TO TALK TO HER OR IF I FEEL LIKE IT AGAIN.
Post note: I forgot to mention that the 'little' incident that happened just now actually happens every week. I can't be bothered to keep count how many times a week.
