omg! i juz read this super duper sad saddist crazy book today. it was a little rushed cuz well...i had to return it back to wanda for her to read by the end of school. i spent like the whole history class reading at least 3/4 of the book. i was like tearing up almost every single pg lor. so i had to like juz skip most of the parts to something else not so bad. it's like so sad lor. it's called "a child called 'it' " by dave something. i think it was pelzer or something. it is like a true life story of the author himself. it's about child abuse. he's mother was like perfectly normal at first. she's really nice and well...juz ur typical mother. then, one day, she juz changed. i think she was changing already but that day was the huge change. ya. so she began calling dave and his brothers to do the chores and stuff. and she started beating them and scolding them. but afterwards, she only called dave to do everything. she started giving him room corner treatments as punishment then he was upgraded to the mirror treatment, which is she smashes his head against the mirror and wif his head still against the mirror, he was suppose to chant 'i'm a bad boy' or smth. i forgot. ya. there were this small incidences that anyone who has read the book will always rmb. like the time when she smeared dave's face wif his baby brother's diapers which were full of poo. and then, she demanded him to eat it. eww!!! yuck!!! i was like so horrified and disgusted when i read that part. how could a parent do this to her own child!? dave's father was even worst. he tried to help dave but he's really actually a coward. he didn't even try to stop his wife's madness. he only escaped it by going to work and leaving the hse at the end. he was dave's hero! how could he do this to dave!? man. i was like really angry lah. ask angeline. then there was another time when she 'accidentally' stabbed dave and dave still forgave her! he loves her, that fool. but i suppose u can't hate ur mother can u? no matter how bad she is to u. but really. she doesn't deserve it. the way she abused dave by hitting him and brainwashing him, telling him that he was a bad boy. and dave is so stupid to belif that too. he's not stupid k. he scored really weel during tests and i'm really surprised cuz those bangs on the head should hav affected him somehow. oh ya. and she tried to burn him on the stove and she even made him drink detergent and ammonia. i was like omg. i feel this urge to juz tear the book apart, as if that would stop her frm doing those horrible stuff to dave. she even tried to gas him to death in the toilet. i mean like. omg. how cruel is that. she starved him for 10 days too. 10 freaking days! all he survived on was tap water. i was like skipping this part a lot cuz i didn't wanna cry in front of the class. i only get emotional at hme where i can scream and cry do whatever i want. k. so. the mother is like so sick. as in sick in the mind and really medically ill. it's a wonder dave ddin't die after all these years of torture. i'm like so full of admiration for him. i'm gonna go to the library to borrow his other two books, sequels to this story. it's so nice lah. i told my mum the story too. she was like...horrified. oh ya. i didn't study for the maths test today, so i can be prepared to fail or smth. i totally forgot how to draw a stem-and-leaf diagram and how to read an dot diagram and how to find compund interest. i'm like so dead lah. i dont' think i got the indices and standard form questions ryt too. haiz...ah well... anw, tmr is the last day of school. yay? i still hav to go back to school though. for the parent-teacher meeting stuff and dance. i'm so looking forward to dance. today was real fun. but super duper tiring. i was like aching all over and still am after dance.
YUI rox!!!<3
