my dad is going overseas for a few months in mid july and it’s the june holidays now (just started for me because i’m in poly). anyway i just ended my exams today and i’ve been planning to go to this particular event that only happens once a year (it’s tomorrow). i’ve literally been so excited for it, it was one of the few things that kept me motivated to study hard for my exams. i told my parents about it ok it’s not like i just suddenly sprung it up that i’ve been dying to go. but now they suddenly made new plans to go to malaysia during this weekend. they intially agreed that i didn’t have to come along, but now they’re trying to guilt trip me into going. they keep repeating stuff like It’s going to be our last time as a family going to malaysia and stuff but i was looking forward to going to the event i wnat to go to so bad. i already planned my outfit, makeup, everything. i’m so upset i’m actually crying right now over this. because they told me just a few hours ago today that they were going to cancel the malaysia trip but now they’ve re-planned it and are trying to make me go. and when i re-explained about how the event i want to go to is once a year and i’ve literally been telling them for the past week about how excited i was to go, they just say it in THAT tone like “oh just go lah just go” ykwim. i’m really upset.
not only that, i’m extremely busy this june hols with most of my days being busy with CCA stuff and group projects. i really just wanted one day to myself since i can’t really get that during school time. poly june hols is about 2 weeks, and for 1 week plus i’m completely busy with school-related things.
the problem
- if i go with my family: won’t feel guilty for missing out but it will mark the 4th year in a row where i’ve missed this event due to family stuff
- if i go to the event i’ll finally get to go after so long but i will feel guilty for missing out on family stuff even though i don’t even want to go to the family outing
