Smelled Like Paint

Day and night, mom told us how she and dad painted the rooms of our present house. The time it took, the hard work bla bla bla...

Technically, they meant, "You should help us paint the new house this time."

But in reality, they meant, "You better help us or I'll ground you!"

It's something like how parents point at those unfortunate African children, and they say, "You see, you see! People no food to eat and you waste your food."

They just wanna make us feel bad la~

Especially moms.

To avoid my ear being critically damaged (and my brain), I obliged her so-called request to paint the new house.

For a start, stick masking tape at the sides that you do not want to paint.

Then, start painting the borders of the place you want to paint.

Like this.

See? The borders? Oh yea, I'm painting 2 walls of my room only.

Mom painting the borders.

She said she was demonstrating, but she's almost finished painting all the borders!

Being the good daughter I always am (yea right), I asked her to let me have a go.

Mom: Wait until I finish painting all the borders la!
Chery: You said you're showing me. You're the one who asked me to paint in the first place!
Mom: I paint for you, you should feel happy ok?
Chery: Later you scold me for wasting your time...

Then mom gave me that killer stare. That stare that makes me feel guilty as if I scolded her with vulgar words.

So I walked off and waited.

*grumble* don't paint let you scold, paint also let you scold *grumble*

From ICI, it's purple, not pink. I like the name of it --- Solitaire.

Dad said 1 litre is enough for 2 walls. I don't buy that.

It looks as if it's so easy to use this and paint a whole wall.

There's more than meets the eye. Trust me.

Apparently, 1 litre is enough.

Nice right??
