My parents are really quite weird. They seem to think I dress with the sole purpose of attracting attention from guys. It's STRANGE, I tell you. Today I was showing my mum this skirt that was super super nice (unfortunately like all other skirts in Singapore, they're made for people 157cm and below) and she was making a big hoo-ha about how it's tooooo short. This got the attention of another lady who was eyeing the same skirt, and she was backing me up, and telling my mum that yeah it's a really nice skirt, I should buy it... And my mum went 'No, it's going to attract all kinds of men when she should be concentrating on her studies!' That's just crazy, I swear the lady was giving me half-pitying, half-disbelieving looks, and my mum was marching around the shop condemning everything. Ok I made that up, but like hello! They'll let me travel halfway around the globe without an adult but they expect me to dress like some Amish farmgirl at home. Snort.
