Be Truthful

On a Thursday evening, after mummy finish showering and stepped into my room to use the hair dryer, she shouted down while I was watching TV.

Mummy: Emmmma, come up & tidy up your room!! Visitors are coming tomorrow!
Emma(shouting back): For what? Its my room wat..Who'll come up??
Mummy: They might ask to see the rooms and usually _____ uses your room, okay! You want people to see your untidy room?!
Emma: Siapa kisah?
Mummy: What??
Emma: Nothing la.
Mummy: Go and tidy your room now!!
Emma: What time they coming tomorrow?
Mummy: 6 something..
Emma: Then tomorrow morning only tidy la..ish..ka ka ciau ciau only

The next morning..

Mummy: Make sure you tidy your room before you go downstairs!
Emma: Yes mam.

Emma forgotten and went downstairs.

Mummy: Tidy your room already not?
Emma: Alamak, forgot la..
Mummy: Go and tidy your room now!!
Emma: Aiya, wait la. Still got more than 5 hours before _____ come wat. I tidy when I go bath (evening bath) later la.
Mummy: Make sure you tidy up!
Emma: Ya la. So chiong hei!

After I finish bathing.

Mummy(shouting from downstairs): Tidy your room!!
Emma: Tidying ler..

After a few minutes of tidying and before mum went to bath, she peeked into my room.

Mummy: This one you call tidy! What's this thing sitting here? (pointing at something on the bookcase) What's that? You born from the jungle ar? Even I think they're cleaner than you!! Eeeyaa! I've ever known anybody more dirty than you (while throwing everything that she thinks is rubbish on to my bed).
Emma: Now you know one. Me! (wearing a smug grin)
Mummy: Huh! Very funny! Don't know where you get this from?? I'm so tidy and so is your brother.
Emma: Daddy genes la..
Mummy: Fai si talk to you.

You see, I disagree with tidying my bedroom just so that people can see I'm not an untidy girl. We are suppose to be truthful about ourselves no matter what right? So what kind of message am I giving if I, as a Christian, about being truthful if I do not start it from my own room?!

Another thing,

Mummy: Go and tidy your room now!!
Emma: Its my room la.. Tidy for what?
Mummy: So? You're still under my roof!
Emma: It'll be mine when you mati.
Mummy: I'm still alive, thank you very much!
Emma: Ok.. This means its not my room la. It should be your (thinking) second room.
Mummy: Yea.
Emma: Ok.

So from now on, it is not known as my room, its mummy's second room. But I keep forgetting.
