Chinese New Year

Everyone was busy preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year.

The deafening sound of fire crackers could be heard everywhere.

Everyone seemed to be excited and happy to welcome the new year.

For me, it was just like any other day.

My parents were doing last minutes cleaning because cleaning was forbidden tomorrow.

Two of my brothers and I were helping them also.

Only the third brother was not helping.

This was not the first time.

He never helped me to clean the house when we were staying in Petaling Jaya.

Since everyone was doing the cleaning work, I just said to him , "I will mop the floor upstairs and you should mop the floor downstairs."

He said, "Why should I? Why must you give me order? You just mop wherever you want. The floor downstairs you need not bother. If no one is going to mop, then just let it be. Now you command me...I even don't want to do it."

(WTF!!!)

I said, "If I don't ask (not order) you to do so, you won't even bother to notice that everyone is cleaning the house and bother to do it."

He said, "How you know I won't do it? (I just knew it. He never helped while in PJ and he didn't bother to start to help when everyone was busy cleaning.) Now you command me...I even don't want to do it."

He ruined my Chinese New Year. From a calm (can't say happy) Chinese New Year... became a mad Chinese New Year... I was angry by the way he spoken. Is this the way he talk to his brother? I had to hold my anger during the reunion dinner. When I was about to finish my rice, the front part of one of the chopsticks was even accidentally bitten by me until broke into two. I went to take bath after rest for a while. I still could not suppress my anger. I had a headache. I just went to bed. . .(around 10.30 pm)
