It's our turn again.. My granny came to my house this week for her 2-week stay.. time would always pass very slowly when she's at our house.. especially my family has nvr tried stayin with old folks before.. life styles are different, ways of dealing things are different, everything is different..
Let me tell a short story 1st: Dada was the third son of his family, he has 2 elder bro, 1 elder sis, 1 younger bro and 2 younger sis.. His mum was biased, she only dote on the 2nd son of hers.. Dada was sent to his aunt's hse at a tender age as his aunt doesn't have any children, in the past, pple believe that you shld hav adopt or bring a child back so that it is easier to have children (i duno wat logic is that?).. Dada's mum did not bring him up, his aunt did.. when his aunt had her own children after a few years (at primay one), she sent Dada back.. When Dada went back home, he has to go to work at his dad's sand site.. once he went back home after sch, he was supposed to change and go to the sand site straight away.. be it guarding the gate, collecting receipts, etc under the big, hot sun.. everyday w/o fail..by the time, Dada reached home after work, there always no dishes left.. there's only rice with soy sauce or vege gravy..
Dada had no choice but to giv up his studies after primary 6 as he had no time to do hw or study.. Later he moved out of his house and stayed at his fren's hse.. Both elder bros of Dada will ask him for money when they had no $$.. Being the hardworking and not willing to see his parents working too hard, he still had to go back to the sand site to help out where both his elder bros did not hav to work.. Later the govt wanted to use the land and had the sand site and house "confiscated", Dada's dad then bought a HDB flat.. Dada paid for the renovation as Dada's dad was a gambler and lost all his money..
Later Dada's dad died, Dada paid for the funeral too.. Dada's mum came out to work, she gave her 2nd son her ATM card, he can withdraw any amount he likes at any time.. while Dada has to slog his guts out.. (continued...)
we went courts on monday.. my granny went along with us.. My dad went smoking and my granny asked where is ah chuan (his second bao bei son).. i was so angry when i heard that.. it's ridculous!! she doesn't rmb my 2 sisters' and my name but rmb my cousin's (daugther of second son) .. what does that mean? BIASED!! :(
