5 things I learnt abt teens:
1. When you are given the permission to go out with your 'dahling' frens....take advantage.
If you are going to the library... don't go straight home. Take the opportunity while you are out to go for lunch. Go faraway cos this is the only opportunity that you will get. If you are in town for a crappy pementasan.. take the opportunity to go for dinner also. Take the chance to celebrate a fren's bdae.
2. Don't call home...wait for home to call you.
Of course the parents will call you to find out where you are... don't tell them wt time you will come back.... they will tell you the time to come back..then start barganing. If you are on the train and you are 7 or even 10 stops away from home, just say that you are at the MRT station, reaching home soon.
3. SMS to say your HP battery flat. Tell them NOT to call.
Then you switch off your phone. They can't call you. So you are uncontactable. So just enjoy your night with your buddies.
4. If your are goin to be late, might as well be VERY late.
After all you will still be grounded. So might as well take the opportunity to spend time with your 'dahlings' just crapping under the stars. Then its all worth the scoldings that you are goin to get.
5. Use your whole month allowance...then can stinge later.
Spent wtever you like...even if you finish more than half of it within a week. Then you can stinge to two dollars a day. Or you can show your sad pathetic face and ask for an advance. They will definitely give you.
