Magic of the old days~

My mom just called. She told me about how my uncle was so cool when her little daughter kicked him when he told her not to run around because she might fall. My mom was like so geram but didn't do anything about it because ya la, my uncle was so cool, takkan la mau lebih-lebih pulak.

This actually reminds me about this evening when I was beaten mercilessly by my mom hahaha


I was in Primary 4. My parents were already divorced, Nenek was still alive and my uncle and his wife was still staying with us. I just got back from school, wore a pinafore that day, and I immediately saw satays served on the dining table in the kitchen. I got so excited that I jumped on a chair and start grabbing those satay while singing "Satay satay satay~~~". I heard my mom cried from the room, "Adik bukak pinafore!!!!"


I took off my pinafore with one hand holding a satay. As I munch those delicious satay and as the taste linger inside my buccal cavity, I toss my pinafore into the air. And ooopsss!!!! It landed on my mom's head!!!!!!

During one of my birthday party (^^)
Muka nda berubah langsung!!!!

I heard my mom screeched "Norhaziah!!!!!!!!!". I turned around and saw her turn green and suddenly her muscles gorge and she turned into a she-hulk!!!! Ok.. that was just a figment of my imagination. Actually, she got very furious and grabbed a broom and started to sway it at me. But I was very good at dodging. I manage to dodge quite a lot of swings and my mom got even furious when she missed. Then she manage to grab me and I was whipped.


I struggled to be freed and finally succeed and ran into the living room.. My mom took a plastic basin and threw it; it hit my back and I say my mom would've been a good handball player because the impulse was so intense and stinging!!!! And then I ran outside and then my mom gave up. She screamed, "Jangan masuk rumah!!!!!!!!!!"


So I stayed outside and that was when I started to cry... I actually cried because I was so mad that nobody helped me.. Not even Nenek and not even my uncle and his wife...


You know what, the day after that incident, I started doing my own laundry haha I don't quite remember what drives me into doing that but I guess that's the magic of the old school way of teaching the children. It's kind of barbaric in today's view but yeah.. it's just magical...


I don't quite understand why today's parents are so lenient with their children. I once read an article by Ustaz Hasrizal that it might be due to the fact that parents not wanting their kids to feel the hardship and the pain that they've been through. But, I guess they should be reminded that it's those hardship and pain that have brought them to what they are today.. Successful people (^^)
