Hmmphh!

I had wanted to finish off some work earlier in the night but it all got disrupted after I told my dad that I bought a new LCD tv for home. We used to have one which my parents bought but was spoilt after a few years. Anyway, they often like to buy things that doesn't really last long.

And it was a good deal that I had from one of the local megastores sales. I thought it looked quite pitisome to use back the old tv and a new tv with my little bonus may show some what my little fillial and part in the family. Afterall, I can't expect my parents to be always paying for new stuffs in the house.

In the pique of anger, dad said some things which really pissed me off. I know he feels frustrated with the amount of things that were building up in the spare room. To be honest, I don't know how true if the things in there more than half are my mum's. He is quite a hoarder too, always like to bring home boxes in the namesake for us. PLEASE!!!!! I have never needed them. I know how to pack my things without those boxes.

And then he rantled at me at my clothes that usually hangs in the spare room. In my pique of anger, I packed up 6 bags of old clothes and am ready to give it all away. All because he is disgruntled that there is no space for the old tv to be kept with all the unnecessary stuffs.

As I was packing my old clothes, my thoughts drifted in and out of my mind on how this whole matters could have been resolved. The word and tone used is always the key factor in communication. A simple sentence or instruction that tells to pack up so that there is space would have been sufficient than to yell at us and make us look like worst sinners.

I often pray that for self-control because I inherited the dreaded temper of my elders. Short fuses really is so apparent in us. Being the generation that is most educated, I often tell myself that I should be more discerning on how I manage my temper. That I could make the change and difference in my generation by looking at things from different perspectives, less judgemental, listening before I speak. I guess at the end of the day, I am still human. I err and definitely will, only a matter of how serious only.

I need God's graces over the next few days to prepare for the coming of the new appliance. Communication is the crucial factor.
