Story time:

I once messed with the sim lock thing and accidentally lock it ( mean y’all know the sim pin lock and pul lock thing?), and my mom didnt notice it yet, and I felt scared, but at the same time was thinking “maybe if I just come clean and apologize, everything would be fine!”, you know, how tv portrays western parents.

Oh well big mistake, I forgot I was Asian. So I told my mom and she instantly transformed into a tiger and devoured me (figuratively) yelled at me and said a bunch of thing like 無鬼用 (useless) 搞破壞 (troublemaker?) and the 食嘢唔做嘢做嘢打爛嘢 (all you do is eat and contribute nothing and when you do try to do something you break everything). Oh keep in mind I was like no older than 11 at the time. 😭

I actually cried like a baby. So yeah, I thinkg that’s pretty much the turning point where I learned a thing about the adult world.

I should’ve just never mentioned a thing and just blamed it on “technical issues” when she eventually tries to make a call.
