Woke my daughter up at 8.40 am knowing her kind of irresponsible attitude who couldn't care less or manage her time.  She's supposed to attend a workshop this morning organised by SPPA at SMU.  Their meeting place is at Newton MRT Station just beside Sheraton Towers between 9.45 am to 10.00 am.  She called me at 10.05am and told me that she couldn't see anyone nor does she know anyone.  I asked her to approach any students there and checked if they are going to SMU for the workshop.  She kept telling me that she doesn't know anyone and I told her off that she doesn't need to know anyone.  In the end, I have to call the organiser and was given direction that she should wait at the taxi stand which is the right spot where she is waiting.  She can even tell me that she took a cab there  when I already reminded her the night before to wake up early so that she will not be late.  Speak so much of her responsibility.  Why does she not learnt her lesson.  I just cannot take it anymore looking at her attitude and her disrespect to me.  I feel the heartache and anger that no one can understand how I feel.  Just found out that she actually gave $6 to a girl in her school band yesterday who claimed that my daughter owed her money which she did not even borrowed from her.  I really have to get to the root of it to check if it's extortion.  She's so ill-mannered especially to me and yet she chicken out when something like this happened in school.  She does not even treasure a single cent I earned and spent away however much I gave her.  God please help me to discipline her and bring it to her senses.  This is driving me mad.  Thank you God.  In Jesus Name, Amen!
