Blasted with missed calls from home

Last Saturday, I had got an event to attend that I had to skip my piano lesson.

In the morning, had a last minute extra recapped training with my fellow group members for the <<孤单芭蕾>> dance for the Women in Arts Performance on 20/5. After which, we went for lunch together and I went for the event which I suppose to attend.

During the event, I got a phone call from home but it was inconvenient for me to pick up. Immediately after that call was hang up, another call from home rang again.

After that, it stopped a few minutes (like 15 minutes or so), then I got blasted from phone calls again. I didn't remember how many missed call from home but should be at least 10 calls.

I was thinking what I could do then. I can't sms my mum as she does not know how to read any sms. But there is nobody else around her who got handphone also. *sigh*

When I finally decided to sms my dad (when he's at work) to help me convey message that I can't answer any call, my dad called. I had to reject the call to sms him but when I reject the call, home number appear again. Then my dad's number again.

I almost go haywire. When I finally called back, my dad was grumbling that I never tell my mum that I got an event to attend. The fact is I did tell my mum. How on earth do I know she'll keep calling and calling and calling. And even to the extend to call my dad and throw her frustration at him for unable to contact me.

I really hate what they are doing. Like I had to be by the phone all day long, picking up every call they made to me, despite the fact that I convenient to pick up or not. If they can't contact me, they'll keep blasting and blasting my mobile.

Sometimes, I really wish that the technology now aren't that good. How I wish there aren't such things as pagers and handphones.

In the past, I had a pager and they expect me to return call immediately. Then when I had a mobile, once when I sneak to Wild Wild Wet with a friend, I had like 50+ missed calls and even my friend also got 10+ missed calls from my parents. And now this... when I already told my mum I got an event.

They'll really drive me mad eventually...

Then yesterday morning, my dad brought out the topic again which I know no matter what, should not talk about it again as my mum will flare up. When my dad nagged at me for telling my mum that it would only be for a while and that my mum called & throw her frustration at him, as usual, my mum denial throwing her temper and said she was just asking if my dad know where I am. Well, my dad continue on and insist that she wasn't asking nicely and somemore he's working. That's it... my mum flare up again. Saying next time she won't call him ever again when he's at work. That she can't call him to check with him. *sigh*

I guess I won't be surprised if one day, I'm really admitted to IMH... so I'm glad I have Gohonzon. I'll be ok... But still... can't I have peace at home?
