the one about uninteresting conversations

Although they don't really say it, my parents really put the most darn things in the 'nicest' of ways. A typical conversation during this warring period (the As lah) goes something like this.

Conversation Prototype 1:
Mum: Eh, go study.
Me: *mumble grumble*
Mum: My colleague says that people in VJC get B for A levels means fail.
Me: orh. *mumble grumble wtf mumble*

Conversation Prototype 2:
Mum: How's study?
Me: ok.
Mum: Econs okay not? Don't wait for a situation in the exam room where you stare blankly at the questions.
Me: um.
Mum: How's chemistry? Are you doing your TYS?
Me: yeah.
Mum: Wny are you always answering in one-liners? Very cool is it?
Me: Yeah. Quite. (2 lines)

Conversation Prototype 3:
Dad: My office got one young guy from VJC
Me: really.
Dad: Yah. He said VJC people sure got no problems in exams at all.
Me: *mumbles* my as*
Dad: Huh? Yeah, that's right. Son, I have confidence in you.
Me: Your welcome.

Conversation Prototype 4:
Mum: How's Physics revision?
Me: Good.
Mum: Chemistry? You got E for prelims right?
Me: Yeah.
Mum: Have you done any Econs essays? Must do! If not exam come out last year's topics then you don't know.
Me: Haha.
Mum: How many maths papers have you practised?
Me: Say..569?
Mum: Ok good. How's Physics revision?
Me: Why is it that our conversations always revolve around school work? It's..pathetic.
Mum: *silent for 30 seconds or so*
Mum: You really shoud be getting down to your Chemistry Papers.

Conversation Prototype 5:
*Me is leaving for ________(Physics/Chemistry/Maths)tuition*
Mum: So now you are going for ________(Physics/Chemistry/Maths - anything different from the 1st blank) is it?
Me: It's ________(same as first blank)! Why can't you get it right?

Okay some conversations were edited here and there, but you get the idea. And yeah, they are real life accounts. And my mum still can't figure out which tuition I'm going for at which days of the week, though she asked the same question like 20 plus times already. It's hilarious, she must always say something else.

Oh yeah and I will be updating less from now on until about 18th November. It's the Big As! But I can't confirm frequent updates after that date because I'll probably be very very busy getting myself entertained/drunk/laid. So all the fans out there, real or imaginary, please be patient and wait for me to return k?
