...you resist.

What do you do when you're detained at home on such a glorious afternoon of the 3rd day of Chinese New Year?

1. You resign yourself to your fate with a loud SIGH and put up minimal resistance.

2. Keep a low-profile on what you're doing just in case they feel guilty and decide to let you go.

3. Realise that your hopes are, in fact, just hopes.

4. Stage a mini-strike and promptly go up to your room.

5. Fall asleep for the next 3 hours (since there's nothing to do anyway, might as well get some shut-eye, eh?)

6. When your parents wake you up for lunch...grunt, tell them you're not hungry and turn back to go to sleep...let them feel as if they're unconsciously playing a role into your induced-state of starvation.

7. Wake up and go down for lunch...resistance always fails at some point, give or take.

8. Hop online and proceed to spend the hours leading up to dinner doing banal activities e.g. blogging, dota-ing..whichever.



9. Remember...the rule-of-thumb is this: always keep conversation to the barest minimum when you're opting for passive resistance...the easier to get your message through.

There. It won't guarantee you your freedom...but it'll at least make them feel a little bad...and when they feel bad, you get little perks...no matter how little they may be.

me: pushes the seat back and picks up plate, bowl etc...
ma: Eh girl. Never mind la. Leave it there.
