"The days in Genting of 2012"
But before you can understand what happened in the 2 and a half days there, you need to know what happened before. So lets rewind back 3 weeks when the whole family decided to go to Genting.
It was a Sunday afternoon, all the kids were just lazing around in the house enjoying the heat slash rain of Sunday blues and dreading the coming Monday. I wasn't around at the time but my sister, Rin, and brother, Danial, were talking about the holidays approaching and that they had nothing to do. They talked and talked and the topic landed on: "When was the last time we went out as a family out of Singapore for the holidays?" The answer was years ago, back to even before my youngest brother was born. The fact is it HAS been a long time since we went overseas together.
So filled with the need to have a family vacation overseas, what do you get when you combine one stubborn mule of the family (Danial) with a girl who always speak logically pieced nonsensical garbage (Rin)?
The rest of us 3 children (my 2 brothers and i) had to pick a side so we chose the side that would most benefit us so yeah... WE WANNA GO OVERSEAS TOO! We proceeded to plan our course of action and then told our parents to meet us at the debate table (which was actually our dining table) at 1700 hours sharp.
Background Information:
Eldest, Female: Rin (20)
Second, Female: Me (19)
Third, Male: Danial (16)
Fourth, Male: Dhamir (14)
Fifth, Male: Iman (7)
-1600 hours-
All 5 of us locked ourselves in a room and started our plan of action.
-1604 hours-
One man down (Iman) who came up with "yay go overseas!" and started playing with his toys because we were discussing in his room
The rest continued to brainstorm ideas
-1610 hours-
Our points:
-1630 hours-
2 more men down: Dhamir who couldn't be bothered anymore and laid on the bed to sleep or something. And me who laid down on the carpet to daydream.
The remaining two charged forward and decided to discuss on counter arguments instead

YOU GET AN EPIC DEBATE.
PARENTS VS CHILDREN

-1610 hours-
Our points:
- Haven't been overseas for holidays in years
- Always in Singapore during holidays
After re-reading it though, we realised that they meant practically the same god damned thing.
-1630 hours-
2 more men down: Dhamir who couldn't be bothered anymore and laid on the bed to sleep or something. And me who laid down on the carpet to daydream.
The remaining two charged forward and decided to discuss on counter arguments instead
- money can earn again
- don't need to be anywhere far
- we need a memorable childhood experience
It goes without doubt that we were screwed.
