flawed work of art.

Lemony Snicket should come to me when he's done with the Baudelaire orphans.. He'll have his hands full just peeking into my life. I'm so pathetic. Can't even have a proper mother-daughter relationship with my mother. Wanna know the story? Besides, I'm sober now.
My mother wanted to finish up her X'mas shopping for her numerous Godchildren & relatives, so guess who had to tag along? Me, that's who. She wanted to go to surprise surprise, city square. I DID question her why, coz' well it's a place where teens 'lepak' & she always disagrees in me going there anyway. But, she was determined. First place we went to was Living Quarters where we bought a whole lot of stuff. I was SO glad when we were about to leave, especially since the bags I were carrying weren't that heavy, for once. Even I was surprised. However, just as we were leaving the store, the shopper in my mother stopped & spotted the 70% sale on Jean Perry bedsheets. She asked me to calculate & so, I did & told her that the once 600 ringgit priced bedcovers were now erm 180. She was estatic! She started to hound for bedsheets for everyone's X'mas. She hurried me to look for a certain type in King size & when I told her that they were sold out, she not only didn't believe me, but also kept making a scene by saying,"Come on, don't be like that. PLEASE look for it. PLEASE!" in that gruff/angry voice of hers. I thought she was gonna slap me or something so I looked frantically again. In the end, she relented on the only one that was left. While I was carrying the 3 huge bedcovers in one hand & the former plastic bags before this in the other, she stopped & said, "Wait! I think we already have these type. Put it back, put it back." Imagine my utmost fury. I was on the verge of braking down already. I just stared at her with what was left of my strength & said, "I took so long to search for you & you say what?!" She laughed it off & said, "okok, buy it then.." ish. sometimes I don't get her. Wait, let me rephrase that. I NEVER get her. Oh yes, then there was the problem of taking it back to our car.. the dude at the shop was kind enough to follow us down. We took a while to find the car. where my mother didn't let me off either. After that, it was around 9.30, but my mother still wanted to shop so, we went back up to Watson's. Everything went A-ok there. But it didn't last long.. In the car, she was moping about Daniel not being able to come back for X'mas & I suggested posting stuff to him.. & me & my big mouth! I told her about the girl who sent Daniel a present. Plus, told her that he asked me to buy some Roxy/Ripcurl stuff for her as well. My mom was pissed I didn't buy for him... & I pointed out that she was the one who didn't let me out anyways. All just snowballed from there. Too much to type in detail... It ended with my mother telling me to go to hell & get raped. after that, almost mowing me down with the old merc, but missed & hit the gate instead. it ended like that. I was just hiding in the bathroom, with the lights off. I think I worried my dad coz' he couldn't find me for like, 30 minutes. Wonder how come he was so smart to look in my bathroom. ish. not fair. After that, he came in to my room to ask what happened. So, I broke down & told him everything. I could tell that for once, he was more of a dad than a man. He told me to forget it & that we all know how unreasonable my mother can be. I told him I couldn't take it & told him to send me away. anywhere. He left, without even saying anything. Men. They just can't give good advice. Ended up reading the bible (I'm not even THAT holy..) until I sent Cassie a message telling her I was OK & nowhere near a blade.
Today, due to some incidents that happened to the fish pond & on account that Cassie & Xinyu were at my place, she didn't say anything bad or scold me. & for that, I thank the Lord.

So the story goes
There's something you should know
Before I walk away
And I blow the ending
I never wanna be without you
Oh no
Here I go
Now you know
What I feel about you
There's no running
I must have been wrong without you
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm falling
So now you know
