I woke up super late so I got ready in like 5 minutes...a new record! After the ARA lecture I went back and cooked pasta with those sausages in my fridge. I can't remember what I did after lunch...I probably spent the rest of the time on facebook or something.

Just as I was leaving the apartment for my next class, I checked my phone which was on silent the whole time. I got a missed call from Jo, Mum and a message from Mum. Mum said "call me, urgent!"....I was like "oh crap!", here comes the credit card bill lecture. I called Mum but she didn't pick up so I called Jo and I was like 45 minutes late for his lunch invitation. Mum then called me back and she sounded so stern. She was like "what exactly happened on Saturday and Sunday?"....I thought about it and in my head I was like "I bought a ridiculously expensive pot..." so I then replied with "I don't know". Apparently she got many messages from Sam and Jo's mum about Sara's mum scolding Jo and Aunty Grace. It wasn't pretty. I kinda froze on the spot when she told me because I was not expecting that at all.

You know how your parents always tell you to think before you act...who would have ever expected one little outing to turn into this??? Sara will always be invited to our outings, we are not going to shun her but it is not our responsibility to make sure she is home at a certain time. We are all adults and responsible for ourselves. My parents are fine with me going out because they trust me because I am responsible. I do my homework, I do my housework and I always take care of myself. We were at Aunty Grace's house till late cos we wanted to be and Sara never once said, "I have to go home now". It's no one else's fault she was out till late so no one else should be blamed for it. Aunty Grace was very gracious having us over till that late.

My parents were quite over-baring till recently. I think parents need to understand that a)They can accept that their kid is gonna do something and they can have the peace of mind knowing their child is safe or b)They can be all anal and their kid will lie to them and do it anyway. Also, instead of blaming everyone else for being a bad influence, look at yourself first and think about how you have influenced your kid. Another thing, I think some parents just scold their kid out of habit, not because there is any purpose to it. Learn to let go, it's not healthy to be so over-baring.

It's actually quite annoying because I actually have nothing to do with this. I knew Sam and Jo and I introduced them to Sara so I am caught in the middle of all this rubbish by default. I'm kinda scared that this will get so out of hand that Sam and Jo's mum will tell them to stop hanging out with us cos it's just too troublesome. I only have three friends here...minus them, that makes one friend. And that one friend's future here is not even certain, if her mum decided to bring her back to Singapore then I will have no friends :( They're like the older brothers I always wanted but never had, I wouldn't want to lose them over this!

I couldn't concentrate during the PBL lecture because of this whole ordeal. I was just going through all sorts of possible scenarios in my head. Most of them turned out pretty bad.

I'm such a genius...I painted my nails before I prepared dinner. I couldn't do anything with my hands for over an hour. I did my finance tutorial after dinner then Shiyou came over to talk cos I was so stressed.
