Shengliver’s Note: Zici the teen is reflecting on her life in this entry.

To be honest, if one doesn’t get an important task done perfectly, it might set off a chain reaction. Everything else might go off course.

Last year I failed in an important exam. Everything went wrong as a consequence. I often argued with my best friend, the one whom you often saw me having meals with. Meanwhile, my parents were always losing temper with me at home. As a result, I would end up quarrelling with one of them. When I was fighting a verbal war with one parent, the other would keep silent and enjoy the show.

Actually when I am quarrelling with my mother, sometimes my father will tease her, saying she is getting overheated. Then my mother will get pissed off. Once she is roused, she will become a machine gun and shoot constantly, indiscriminately. No one will be able to cut in because she just simply would not stop and listen. In this case, humans had better shut up. Her eruption will last at least one to two quarters.

I think I should try and live an easier life in this world, despite everything that seems to have gone awry.
