grandmother story

i just can't believe it!! can't believe it!!

a 50 year old lady could be so childish!! could be so superstitious!! could be so unreasonable!!

it has been almost a decade... **let me make it more kua jeong** it has been centuries since i last heard of this and i've actually forgotten the existence of the 'myth'. can you imagine how long is the long that people don't say this anymore?

who says it is not allowed to cut nails at night?

i was cutting my nails in the living hall while watching tv. of course i know the rules of cutting nails tidily... i siap-siap prepared a wastebin in front of me. who knows... m-i-l waited for me to finish cutting my nails and sounded me with the most annoying facial expression **i hate her facial expression - as if i've killed her whole family. i know she doesn't mean it, this is her but i just hate it!!!**

she said it is not allowed to cut nails in the house and the most importantly at night. if she said i can't do in the living hall or... okay... in the house, i can still accept it, for the sake of cleanliness. fine!!

**i think she doesn't know that the world has actually invented a nail clipper with catcher. just imagine doing it outside the house, under 30++ c/degrees, from cut, file, buffer and top coat, it takes about 1 hour. i feel sick when i think of it...**

i can't do it at night? wtf!!! i really wanted to ask her the reason behind this unreasonable command and if i need to yin har toong sing to find a good time to cut my nails. this is ridiculous, man!!!

i remember my mum told me the same thing too when i was a kids, not older than 10 years old, i'm sure, and i did ask her the reason not to cut nails at night. the only reason is... every mummy worries about her children. last time people used gasoline lamp ma, couldn't see clearly at night and afraid that her children cut their fingers or hurt themselves.

c'mon lah... nowadays people can see clearly under neon lights and i'm now 27 years old. if i cut my nails at night or i hurt myself... this is called careless, dei sei!! not because of 'whatsoever thing' that causes the huit gong ji joi... haiyo... please stop the nonsense!!

what a modern mum... uwek!!
