The weather here is hot and humid. The first thing I said when I got out of the airport I said, 'Damn, it's hot!'

I made a conclusion that you cannot go stay in another country for more than two weeks because after that duration, your body is just beginning to adapt to the climate and weather, and you're just getting used to the system. Leave before you start thinking of staying for a whole year. I wanted to remain in US, I admit, but I couldn't force myself to pretend that no one needs me back in Singapore. I'm not being obnoxious but it is true, my family needs me.

They have become so dependent on me that they cannot do laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning up the house, washing the toilet, and etcetera, without me.

I am almost 18 and I'm still being treated like the maid of the house. Well, I'm sorry that you couldn't survive without me for the past 3 weeks, but you must realise that I may not be there for you guys all the time. I have my own life and I will build my own family in the near future - even if my family only consists of cats and adopted kids. Yes, I know all this running-the-house shit will help me to be a good housewife, mother, blah blah blah. But I just hate it when people take advantage of me.

I'm sorry, but I really despise going to a messy, unkempt home with an empty refrigerator.

So that's the reason for the silent treatment.

Oh yes, another thing. I have been fat and overweight my entire life and I am glad to say that I am happy the way I am. You don't need to tell me that I gained a few extra pounds over my stay in Detroit. It's my body and my life. If you're too ashamed to call me your sister, or daughter, then that's just too bad.

On a higher note, tomorrow will be my first day at Heartware Network and after which I'll be helping Adam out at an event.

I truly apologize for the emotional outburst. I told you I'm just as weak as you are.
