Bumming

Everyday, I bummed around watching tv, checking emails, helping mum around the house making paus and sometimes deliveries, reading newspapers/story books, etc. What else that I haven't done? Yesterday, I woke  up with my right eye being painful. I didn't think it would be that serious so I just complained to Sherp. She thought I cried. My mum said I did not drink enough water. I wailed back that I did, why else with the frequent trips to the toilet. By night time, my right eye was half the size of my left eye. I told myself to sleep early but in the end, I slept later.

Mum woke me up in the morning, asking us if Sherp and I wanted to go with her. She proceeded to say that I can take my passport photos. It took me few seconds to register that in my head. I shouted back, no my eye is so swollen, no way am I having my passport photo look so horrible. By that time, mum was already in Sherp's room waking her up.
