ive been driven up the walls.
it's just too much for me to take.
please.
im human too.
you dont hafta probe around my life as if yours stinks too much for you to put your sticky nose innit.
thanks lah ok.
i dont need your help really.
its just making me sick thinking about what you're doing to me now.
so all along, these are my self-proclaimed freedom?
so im still stuck between the era of diaper changing & potty training & spoon-feeding?
to you i havent grow up?
im still a baby?
is that it?
is that what you wanna hear from me?
that im not mature enough to think on my own & live my own life?
oh, no... you wanna hear that i DONT have a life in the first place.
because you're Mr & Mrs Controller.
there's just no place for me in this house.
yeah, i hear you saying im a nuisance.
why dont you ask yourself how you've been treating me all these while?
ive been going in & out of rooms trying to find a conducive place to study.
even the "STUDY ROOM" isnt made for studying.
what's with the blasting stereo?!
i knw you're trying to show to your mother that you're a good son, trying to impress her that all you listen to is nasyids & whatever agama stuffs. but you dont hafta blast it right. talking about self-degrading.
& when i go out to study, what do you do? scold me for not staying home to do the chores.
if i turn in early after a long day, what do you do? scold me for being lazy.
if i keep awake in the morning to study, when you';re asleep & everyone else is asleep, when there's silence for once, what do you do, you scold me for wasting electricity.
so what am i suppose to do?!
i already stop going for floorball, thanks to you.
im not a kid anymore dad.
im 18 this year.
you dont even trust me with big amounts of money.
im 18 this year dad. 18.
why cant you grow up instead.
you're 46years old.
& you act like you dont wanna lose your marbles or sth.
im a big girl now.
im no longer daddy's girl.
i dont go around the bowling alley sticking to your armpit and holding your hand if i wanna get to the loo.
& i play bowling like normal teenagers. i dont need that slide for me to put the bowling ball on top to roll it down.
im all grown up dad.
can you just accept the fact that i just need securities not insecurities from both of you.
but taking me handphone away is not gonna help.
trust me.
i can just go out till late and not call home. why? cos you took my handphone.
curfews wont work cos of my hectic schedules.
i cannot be home promptly for dinner anymore.
this is way after the secondary 4 era dad.
im in pre-u 2 now.
i just need that bit of freedom to do what is right for me.
not for you.
not for mom.
cos mom will never understand what im going thru.
neither do you.
you're always busy flying in & out of US & leaving the family behind & always going for parties after parties and neglecting us, let alone me, your "girl".
& now you're saying that i still havent grow up.
im still not mature yet.
all these while when you're overseas, ive grown dad.
sigh, i dont know how to put it up to you.
to make you understand.
beating me & inflicting pain on me is not gonna work.
it just makes you a crazy & heartless man.
it's not gonna work.
i still hate you.
& you're making me hate you even more.
you're not making me feel any better.
where's all the emotional support you promised me?
where's the "i promise to be more understanding" part?
you just care about yourself & noone else.
what's with the i have 4 children to support shit.
other people have 12 children even & they still live happily.
where's the happiness in ours?
ever since we moved out, we've broken into individuals.
no more family.
ever since your mother lived with us, she's been breaking us apart.
with your ego higher than the tallest mountain on earth, you wanna show that you're a good father.
does beating your daughter makes you a better father than the rest?
then sending your battered daughter to the consellor about her attitude helps too?
then why is she still feeling so empty & lonely at home despite what the counsellor told her to do?
& even after telling you, talking to you, what did you say? "i din spend thousands for you to tell lies"
is that how you treat your daughter that you once named "daddy's girl"?
maybe you're just stressed with work.
maybe im stressed with school too.
that's why we cant click recently.
ever since we moved out.
but why are you doing this to me only?
why is my other sisters spared from the misery?
i cannot stand it anymore dad.
my patience is running out.
you've hurt me once too many.
