Older sister, you're supposed to be solving her problems for the small one.

How are you helping??

I shall step up to the plate.

1) About the constant pestering for you to study, HOW ABOUT YOU ACTUALLY START STUDYING? EXAMS IN 2 DAYS AND YOU'RE STILL ON MSN? HOW THE FUCK IS THAT STUDYING????? HELLOOOOO??? That said, if you want to fool mama, just carry a textbook with you, or a notebook when you're on the way out the door. Then when she pesters you, just hold the book up and put a finger to your lips. "Mama, I'm trying to concentrate." VOILA.

2) Sit her down very calmly, and tell her that she's NOT making sense. As in, "Mama, really. That's completely irrelevant." Yada yada.

3) Refer to 2). Haha. AND if you spend some time with her once in a while, she'll stop trying so hard to get into your life. She's feeling like she's not involved in your life la, cut her some slack.

4) JUST TELL HER ABOUT THE FUCKING PIERCING. What is she going to do? Rip it out? Or, do what I do. Turn and ask, "Mama, your daughter pretty right?" *flutter eyelashes. She'll say "My daughter of course pretty la", then she ll leave.

5) Sorry, I can't help you with this one. Get her glasses, and when she asks what it's for, tell her that it's cause she doesnt' seem to be able to tell when your hair is wet or not.

6) Refer to 1). "Mama, I'm trying to study. Don't disturb me"

7) Hahaha, in the middle of the night, go open and close open and close, open and close. She'll get the hint. Though you may see some things you don't want to see. AND SINCE YOU'RE SLEEPING IN MY ROOM, IT SHOULD BE MY ROOM DOOR RIGHT?! WHEN ARE YOU GETTING OUT OF MY ROOM?

8) Refer to 1). It's all about maintaining an act Eunice. It's an art.

9) "Mama, LISTENNNNN. I A-M C-O-M-I-N-G-H-O-M-E-L-A-T-E." When she says come back early again, say, "Nope, sorry. Coming home late."

10) You can be a defiant child, and scream back NOOOOOOO, or you can be a sweetly defiant one. Say okay, then don't go back till you're good and ready to go back.

And THAT, is my golden pieces of advice. Taken from my many years of defying my parents. Can Denise Lim come up with better? ;)

I love myself.
