Chinese New Year Prep

My father is a true feng shui junkie
He recently attained many pieces of furniture to place strategically all over the house
To prepare for the New Year
That’s what *i* think anyway

I came back from another Bottomless Tomato adventure
To find my mother shifting all my old storybooks

“Hey… what are you doing? You’re not throwing anything away are you?!”
“No la… got some i put outside lar…”
“What!!! HeY, Don’t La Throw My Things Away before asking me!!!”

I wailed all the way while running outside to get them
Quite emo la i know

But i’m very emotionally attached to my old books
They bring me back memories of reading them over and over again
Till the characters intruded my dreams

I carried the whole pile back into the house

And sifted through them
OHMYGOD she was going to throw away my fairy story books
I waved them crazily in the air while shrieking
“NO THROWING away ANYTHING that has fairies on or iN it!!!”

My parents stared back at their only daughter who had lost it

Mom: Hey wait ar… *turns away* i show you this book okay… You wait la till you read it.”
Joyce: Huh… what is it?
Mom: Wait la *continues looking for desired book*
Joyce: Don’t tell me it’s some therapy book… *dread*
Dad: A bit too late for that right.

Walau!

What a blow
Straight to my heart, man

Thanks for always letting me steal your food
Thanks for all the nice hugs
Thanks for making out with me when i’m feeling drunk and slutty
Thanks for forgiving me for kissing other girls

Love you

Now
Can you please stop playing badminton with a certain someone and come see me instead
