Bright sunny morning! Birds were singing and flowers are blooming. I felt someone tickle my feet. Feeling irritated, I decided to just withdrew my feet into my warm comforter. I fell back into dreamland where I was abruptly awaken by the same tickle at my feet.
"Fuck off la! Don't disturb me!"
Little did I know that the person behind the deed was my dad!
*Shocking music plays!*
I was about to fall asleep again when a sharp pain came across my head.
"OWWWW!!"
I opened my eyes and the sunlight came penetrating into my world. My vision was a blur for the first few seconds. When my vision cleared up, I saw my dad standing in front of my bed with his fist clenched together and with a scowl on his face ala Crayon Shinchan's mother style.
"Wei Xin. Wake up already! You said you wanted to tag along right? I am leaving soon."
I sat up on my bed still dazed from the blow. I reached out for my cellphone and looked at the time. 8 A.M!! Oh man! My dad will be leaving at 8.30 A.M! I got to my feet and opened my wardrobe. While rummaging through my closet for my outfit of the day, it suddenly hit me! Why didn't my dad lose his cool when I told him to fuck off? I gave it not much thought and went to bathe and change.
We set out at 8.30 A.M on the dot and was bound for East Coast Park. The journey there was really boring. The only thing that entertained me was the radio that kept playing ABBA songs. I stared out of the window and enjoyed the music as I counted the numbers of cars that drove past us.
*Takes out remote and presses the fast forward button."
So there we were at East Coast Park. My dad brought his in-line skates while my mum decided to take a nice stroll along the beach. Me? I promptly headed down to the bike rental shop and rented a bike! Haha! I have waited so long for this day to come! Ever since my birthday, I wanted to go to East Coast Park and ride a bike. Finally! I was able to fufil my craving today.
Feeling happy, I skipped to the nearest bike shop and looked around. Decided that I wanted this bike...
"Uncle! I'll take this bike!"
"Eh, xiao di di(small kid) ah. Why don't you take this bike instead? It's cheaper."
"... ..."
*Pauses for awhile not knowing what to say.*
"Never mind la uncle, I'll stick to my decision. Thank you for your recommendation anyways."
I am really having a weird day. First, my dad didn't hit the ceiling when I told him to fuck off, and now the shopkeeper does not want to earn money. Really weird! So, gleefully, I rode my bike out to meet my dad who was waiting for me at the starting point so we could go together. When I got back, I was surprised to see my father's friend with him. One good thing though, now my mom has a companion to walk with her.
Without any further ado, we setted off with my dad and his friend blading and me cycling. We were riding happily along the cycling path when suddenly a bolt from my father's rollerblade popped out. As I was behind my dad and his friend, it was only normal that I stop and pick the bolt up. Doing so, I had to stop my bike and dismount it.
Upon dismounting it, I moved the bike's 'ass' so that I could get the bolt as it was over it. As luck would have had it, a skater was coming from behind and he hit right on on my bike and he was like rolling on the floor. I could see that he had taken a huge spill.
As he was rolling on the ground, he was like...
"ARGH!!!! FUCK!!!!"
Then I was like...
"FUCK!!!! ARGH!!!!"
I went over and offered my hand to help him up but was rejected with shove of the hands. I was quite taken aback and was kinda stunned. He got up himself and started cursing away. I quickly went over to apologise and he said it doesn't help the situation in any way. He asked me if I was 18 and asked me who my dad was. I told him that I wasn't 18 and he instantaneously went to my dad and said...
"My back hurts. I am going to see a doctor. Give me your namecard and contact number."
Sensing that the man was obviously trying to get us to compensate him, I went to his face and shouted... (really shouted)
"LOOK HERE MISTER! I AM THE ONE WHO CAUSED THE ACCIDENT! WHY GO TO MY FATHER AND ASK FOR A COMPENSATION? YOU SHOULD TALK TO ME AND NOT HIM!"
"You just keep your mouth shut. You are not 18 yet so your father is still responsible for your wrong doings."
"I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY WRONG DOINGS! NOT MY FATHER OR ANYONE ELSE! WHICH PART OF THAT SENTENCE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND?"
He just totally ignored me. He went on rattling about how his back is pain and wants a compensation. In the mean time I was furious and my patience was blowing over. Feeling dissatisfied with him, I went up to him and told him that it was preposterous that he wanted a compensation. Then I told him that is wasn't my fault that he was going so fast and had not time to dodge me. This was what he said to me...
"There is not speed limit here. So I can go fast."
I looked around and guess what?! It is as though heaven is helping me. I pointed over his shoulder and there is was! A speed limit that says fifteen! Plus I am darn sure he was going faster than 15 when he collided into my bike.
Then he said he wanted to call the police to settle evrything. I told him to go ahead and call if he wanted to because I was not in the wrong right from the start. He asked me what the number for police was and I told him I didn't know. He had to call the yellow pages and asked for the number. When he got the number, he asked me once more if I wanted to compensate him and I said no.
Then he came up the most stupidest sentence ever!
"I AM A PROFESSIONAL SKATER! I DO NOT GET INTO ACCIDENTS!"
"Well I'm sorry, but you are already in an accident. Besides, to what extend do you consider yourself a professional? The way I see it, you are just a speed demon."
"I WAS BORN ON SKATES DAMN IT!"
"Oh dear! Your parents didn't have money to buy proper shoes? Besides, did anyone confer you the title professional? Professionalism is subjective my sir, the whole world can say that you are a professional but I deny it because a professional does not get into a fit when he meets with an accident and demands compensation. So do you still want to call the police?"
"I will. You just wait. I have taken down your bike number," with that, he skates off into the distance. "God bless singapore!"
I shouted back to him, "GOD BLESS FINLAND!"
Weird day isn't it? Now I am waiting for police to come and get me. Hahahahahaha!
I love my mouth! Best self defence mechanism ever made on me!
Anger Management
Have not been blogging for a long time. I am not having the patience to sit down and think of what to type anymore. It is indeed weird that I feel this way. I am so cooped up with other things even though I WAS on holiday. Haha! You heard me right. School is starting soon and I am glad it is! Holiday was a boring time for me. Staying at home all day with nothing to do. Pratically rotting at home! Not to mention a great time to laze around and grow fat! Sigh~
The title today reminds me of the show I watched some time back. Adam sandler acting as a person who needed anger management and the therapist helps him by aggravating him. It's like what the chinese say. Yi3 du2 gong1 du2. Fighting fire with fire. (Literal meaning is fighting poison with poison.) However my entry isn't going to be a movie review but about managing your anger.
Anger. A feeling that is filled with malice (usually) and not to mention hatred. People get angry for all sorts of reason. From a disagreement to an act of betrayal. Anything! As long as when a party feels hurt, anger will set in and destroy any hope of solving the problem harmoniously together. So like any other feelings it can be controlled easily.
Many people say that it is not as easy as I think it is. Wrong! I beg to differ. Emotions are embedded within you. You should be able to control them. Many a times people think that emotions control them but little did they know that their thinking are actually controlling their emotions which in turn they think that emotions control them. If you are confused with the sentence above, do not worry for that is how I feel about these people.
To be able to control your anger, we must first know the reason for your anger. Then we go on to analyzing the problem. Ask yourself if it is worth feeling angry over such a matter. What will you benefit from feeling angry? Anger only results in sadness and sorrow.
Controlling your temper, like I said, is not difficult. Here are some ways that you can do to get over your anger.
----------Prof. Ah^Wei Anger Manangement----------
1. Do housework. (This does wonders! When you are doing housework, it actually alleviates stress. Trust me. It really works.)
2. Go take a nap. (Sleep on the trouble. Ignorance is bliss. Ignore it for awhile, but you have to remember that the problem still persist.)
3. Sit down and meditate. (Kinda like sleeping but it is not. You have to stay awake. Think about how to solve the problem calmly.)
4. Go and do something you like. (Try to make yourself happy as much as possible. Pamper yourself.)
5. Just find something to do la!
I am sure all of you understand what I mean. Anger is not something to be tolerated. Get rid of it.
Anger is bad for health. It makes people old! Do you want to be old?
