i've a couple of my bad points.
i haven't really felt remorseful of anything i did
or didn't do.

his hoarse voice telling me off -
i assumed i wouldn't be able to fall into a deep sleep,
as his words replayed in my mind.
replaying till i dozed off.
somehow, i got away with keeping myself busy.
he knew he had said those words last night.
but he just couldn't seem to talk about it in the morning.

i have no idea when i ever felt apologetic.
i know myself.
i know my stubborness.

i dislike shoddy work,
especially from men.
and whenever they say the same old things to me,
it is their sub-consciousness.
it is in them.
the devil playing.

alright,
let's talk about something happier.
i was really glad when the leg of my rabbit was healed.
last night, jo sewed rabbit's right leg.
i was really happy then,
because i couldn't exactly picture myself picking up a needle & thread
to sew that tear.
i used to ask the mother why she had to give me a trouble-maker sister.
and now, i can't imagine who would be my closest kin,
but my sister.

i was supposed to go for a dip down at the pool just now
as the weather's so great.
but i went for a run instead.
perhaps i should have swum.
running's getting boring.

you know how it feels like to have dinner with certain families?
a family who starts picking on you,
on your education;
another family that starts reminding you
of your rebellion etc.
my sister is my best family member.
later i have to be meeting a whole group of people.
i seriously pray they'll leave me alone with my private life.
jo's working & i wouldn't have anyone to accompany me.
i dread this.

but well, time will pass.
adieou.
