@lilac These days bloody dad been causing trouble, late 70s. Small things cant be solved, when His responsib but Wun Only clever to blame me. that incident over, the crazy fool being loud n rude when tell him to throw away his dirty scraps >attract roaches, i said then fine i throw at him. Dun admit wrong, NO GUTS BLAB OFF TOPIC PERS ATTACKS. Whether i take mc or not fulltime work is NONE HIS BIZ
Home bully, then outside acting good
No respect, alw still command me when im an adult alr 
i get what you mean, because my father can also be really naggy with me sometimes too, iām sec 1 and like you i was a star student in primary school, with good grades, i was a prefect too, and everyone said i was a really cheerful person.
now in sec sch it just gets so hard, i failed my sci wa2 and got lowest in class and i freaked out so bad because i had to go for sci consol, i hated how much my father nagged at me that i didnāt even tell him about my wa exams so i could save the pain of being nagged at everyday to study. now cuz its eoye season mah, i stay back to study a lot at school to avoid my annoying sister and my father. he said and i quote, ā80 percent for sci wont be too much to ask for right?ā and omds IT IS A LOT TO ASK FOR!! like think about it i flunked my science so bad so what makes you think i can do that in a matter of a few months?
i really try really hard when i study and it just seems like i can never meet his expectations, even for psle he thought i could get al6 but the thing is i never got that before, and when i got a al7d and improved from my prelim score 7m, he still scolded me and said i could have tried harder because al7 in my cohort was also a tricky score because it was a lot of schools cut off points.
so i guess itās been pretty long and i always donāt meet his expectations and end up getting scolded. when i said i wanted to quit third language last time he also didnāt let me because he said āit would be beneficial in politicsā but i NEVER EVER DID express interest in politics, i didnāt even follow it that much. he never listens to me and its so frustrating, because he thinks iām good when iām not.
when i asked him if i could go to a concert with my friend, first he said i can to āenjoy being a teenagerā, then he say āif you get below 70 for geog or history no more concerts everā, and iām only sec 1 so itās a first year, and iām in a ip school so ofc things are a lot more complicated, so whatās the point if youāre restricting so much more i can enjoy?! it hurts even thinking about it because i already have pretty less friends and i canāt lose her anymore.
maybe for me itās not as bad as yours but i hope you know that others also have similar experiencesā¦i guess itās just the classic asian experience. i would say you should try to understand your mother, and we really should try to understand even though thinking about it just makes me want to break down and cry lol
hope you can feel better babes <3 ok mb iām a tad bit late but i just felt like i had to say something lol
I donāt ustand the gen Z shortforms. Umm actually i was never a star studentā¦ but i excelled more in the arts and eng streams. How old your dad? U are so youngā¦ i thought younger gen parents aren so harsh like boomers.
Whats IP sch? At my wkplace got some poly grad friends/cowkers their folks seem quite ok. So not really all asians like that, its unlucky 
, i got some angmo frens the parents can be harsh too
Mine is like frigging 75+ yrs, tech unsavvy, Ocd. During my younger days he wasn like that, then more and more mental. From dinos documentary, even Trex have more advanced brain than greys (my defin of senior citizens)
For working world grades donāt really count as much. Don;t worry too much, hang in there
Thanku for replying! yea same to u, jiayo
@octopus Heyy long time no talk
ahh thats the short form for science weighted assessment 2 
sorry if i confused youu
a IP school is like those better schools who do more complicated content, i think they called it express stream last time? like the content we do in our school is the same as what normal stream schools do in sec 3 T-T
my pa is ~40, heās actually pretty young compared to my classmates but it really doesnāt help that both my parents were actually really good in their studies and i guess they expect that from meā¦but try sitting in a class where your history teacher first says āyour end of year exam is in 3 daysā and the next second sheās comparing how to write an essay to the c-section she had to do for her third baby 
Ahh so yr parents are very academic, so smart! I envy that. Um better than mine, fogey only to ITE, my mum unt sec 4. Hm then i dun get why they so harsh on u, nowadays theres alot of media coverage mot to pressurise on grades, mental health etc :0
Thats not an inspiring teacher 
end of yr exams in 3 days?! My time bef big exams they gave hints where to study (gosh i feel old)
Yup i was in express stream last time, but sucked at maths xd
Ah weighted assessment, so what happens if not do so well in it? Did u go for tuition? I alw had to stay back for maths and in jc econs remedials gah
What concert did u go for? Kpop, swift? Bef covid i went w my mum to see Kit chan and Karen mok. Saved up. The few frens i had pref movies and C pop, and chalet > back then i felt fomo din get invited. Chalets mostly haunted tho
Im not a mega swifty, was happy to see her on utube.
i wanted to go to enhypenās concert in october with my friend, but my pa said if i didnāt score well i couldnāt go to any concert ANYMORE, and his definition of not scoring well is literally below 70. i have science tuition on saturdays and itās not even that funā¦
Oh i dunno whos that. I only know abt Blackpink. Ahh thats not fun to have tuition on wkends
ahahaha itās okay if you donāt knowā¦you know my parents signed me up for some public speaking lesson, but my presentation stuff seem perfectly fine but the lesson is fun, i guess? we get to play uno during break lol, weekends i have like 3 tuitions then i study study study and maybe slack a bit (definitely just a bit!) because i really cannot focus at home hahahahah
I hated public speaking >< in uni had to take that module, terrifying! gosh is that a compulsory subject now in sec sch?
My hobby stuff revolves around writing fanfics, gaming =3 DA dragonage, witcher, reading, i go to library every week my Me time. Currently im reading Discovery of witches, Adore fantasy! odd, the emojis cant be used *squeee ~ hot vampires, witches in the modern era. they also travel to historical times based on true events like world war, old england
Do u know if u are introvert, extrov or ambivert? I do admire the ambis, they can be both. Im the first, i didn function well in big noisy socials
ahahaha it isnāt a course in school but i just have that for tuition 
but i do have a lot of presentations in school, it seems like thereās one for every subjectā¦but well iām in a relatively good school so ofc the stuff are so much harder. iām so pissed at geography rn 
at this point i think iām one of those ambis lol because last time when i took a personality test i was 51% intro 49% extrov hahahah
Being ambi is adaptable skill 
Why are u pissed with geog? I also wasn gd with geog, i pref history. Ooh are u in the all girlsā kind of school? Some ppl i knew from Chij, in my uni class got a few. Sometimes i got dreams? Of being late for exam, tests, or signing up courses, the ppl i nev contact anymore still appeared. I rather dream of my elf Fenris lol
my school is co-ed, and because iām sec 1 mah, humanities subjects like history geography and literature are new and my fatherās expecting so much for me on hist and geog it get suffocating. i finished revising lit and geog already, halfway through history. i like geography more but i find history easier lol
Thatās indeed hard to cope with pressure. Have u told him u alr tried yr best? Performance cant be forced. Oh i was also in co-ed sch, north side.
Do u watch eng drama series/ movies? (In the brief downtimes) Some colleags are into those sappy Kdramas, i hear alr wanto laugh xd. read a YA story written by a man who was in kpop industry- the training for fem are torture, must diet and stuff, botox :0 i dun agree with such practices. Every now n then got some young K person suicide. Natural is better, like Kelly clarkson ppl said she fat but voice gd is alr a gift
The E grp u like are they boyband? Ooh i rem one K and J singer i collected her music BoA 
, loved her valenti. She dance so well, she said v pressuring to be perfect in the limelight. I also still got Lena park songs
ahh i really respect BoA, i donāt know her well but everyone in this industry who put in so much effort for the fans really deserve more respect and recognition for their efforts. i donāt watch kdramas ironically, but i like cdramas more, i canāt wait to watch more once exams end T-T idk what makes my pa think i can do so well, it seems like he always overestimated my ability, even for psle he thought i could get al6 (when i never had before) then he scolded me for al7d even though i improved in higher chinese from prelims, went from merit (i think 60-75 or smt? not sure, around the lines of that) to distinction (75+ i think). my math grade dropped from al1 (90-100) to al2 (85-90), i really donāt even know what to say anymore im almost done grinding geography yayy, history next 
what does that mean? the grading is diff from my time XD, this year my nephew is taking psle. my aunty worried, he is playful haha maths and science ok, but chinese not gd. if got moderation, everyone will pass i think. Whats bad about Al7? Wah yr maths still good if remain in the 80s, i rem one time someone beside me got 96, and mine was the smaller num. I dw to go home sweatdrop*, at the time i mistakenly tot if i scored better the folks wouldn argue. hmm but in fact their cracks were showing. Boomers dun seem to have married due to love. 
Now early morn the douche will nag and wil get shoutingā¦ Ive to prep my mp3 to plug class95 then dun hear =S
The good thing of the young parents is most likely theyāre busy with careers wonāt be rummaging junk = = fogey has really awful habit of the H word - it triggers so i dun spell it out. U know the old ppl bad habit of keeping junks, and he wld right out accuse me >: Tho sometimes he misplace i didn throw. lack hygiene too, he will just cough n sneeze, my doc told him wear mask at home. Never >:, i told my doc hes ā ā ā ā ā ā ā stubborn n selfish. his 1 skill is clever to be wayanging to outsidersā- dunno the ācows n chickensā yet talk n talk so much, even wana give them $50. wtf then my mum need to see doc, nag like 500$
What C dramas u like? I like HK shows, bobby ouyeung, Jessica xuan, chamaine Sheh the old batch xoxo, i only get to see when theres free preview starhub. ch 8 did show the heiress to the throne, it was ā ā ā ā ā ā end tho haha. her ex bf didn have guts to propose, the ppl died but no one investigated what happen haha. wahh so yr chinese is fluent for sure!
do u learn korean lang? some ppl love kpop they go and learn haha
My office has 1 china man, he dun ustand eng. if he ask me something i need to get someone translate lols. ive to pause v long to translate internally, like the time he asked me did i find jiao bu - he meant scotch tape. haha. Im v much western banana. Being an introvert is a disadvantage, coz home is ideally a place to recharge. I try to be happy outside, and at office. im glad my current office the politics dun involve me
ahh al7 for total is actually very good, but if itās for one subject itās pretty bad the smaller the number the better the score my pa always tells me to study when i just want to rest, like i just finished tuition and just ate dinner?? im just so tired of him now iām using studying as an excuse to go to the library and escape home
last time i finished watching ę å°½ē尽夓in 3 days during the september holidays it was really good tho, i like those crime movies more hahahah i was born in a chinese fam, my parents are immigrants from china they came to study uni, so yea i guess my chinese is pretty good, not to brag thoo, i pick up some korean here and there when i watch variety shows but I donāt exactly learn them because theres so much on my plate already and i already have chinese english and german (third language course)
my geog and english exam is tomorrow so iām just gonna go through some flashcards and slides then pack my bag and wish me luck 
Ooh i see. Mine are born here, think my grandpa from China. Good luck. Wah german. I wish i got to learn third lang
i mean, itās a fun experience ig? just can get pretty stressful because the language is just so different 
anyways i just finished my exams for english history and geography and i think my efforts paid off 
my next exam is in two weeks, chinese first then science and math (14, 16, 17) then iām free!!! ahh, i canāt wait for the holidays i have so much i want to do 
Also exam period for sec sch now? I tot just psle. Tod the mac like got many kids relaxing tho.
