Haiz, after so long of being away from AA, i'm back, not bcos of
rship issues but bcos of family disputes, not exactly a dispute but
some unhappy things that happen to family. From young till now, my
family has always been looked down upon but my eldest uncle's wife,
whose attitude and mouth is quite bad. I pity my mum who needs to
hear things that's demeaning and insulting even though it may not
be a direct one. And why all this?? money...
I may not come from well to do family but at least my family is
self sufficient, sometimes we may SEEM to encounter some financial
difficulties bcos my dad is not very educated and he holds a low
paying job and my mum's working part time. However, we do not need
pple's help in any ways and i'm really grateful that my uncles and
aunties like to give me some money occasionally bcos they do to
award me for my efforts in school, currently pursuing a
degree.
Story goes like this ( heard from my mum since young)......
When my mum was a few mths pregnant, my mum stayed in the hospital
for a few days. During that time, my 7th uncle n his current wife
(not married yet) was staying in my flat for FREE when they were
still young. During the few days when my mum was in hospital, my
aunt/uncle brought another couple to my house as they were their
frens from msia, not informing my parents at all until my dad came
home and discovered it when he came home cos he's in the hospital
accompanying my mum and nv go hm for days. HOW thoughtful..
......... few years later, my 7th uncle became slightly richer, did
quite well in his job, and got recognition from my eldest aunt, i
was like 5 to 6. First incident that sparked off the unhappiness,
it was CNY and we're all at my grandparents house. During dinner
time, the eldest aunt of mine who was GOU YAN KAN REN DI tt time
said loudly that she wanna "reserve" the chicken drumstick for my
7th uncle's son who was 2 yrs younger than me, maybe it doesn't
sound wrong but tt's how she favoured the 7th uncle. And for her
info, i hated drumsticks and like wings and chicken breast
instead.. lol..
..... btw the yrs there're some events lk my 7th uncle didnt do tt
well in job, owe pple money, the eldest son also owe pple money and
my other uncles and aunties hv to help them repay the debts and up
till now still haven't repay and her own husband borrowed few k
from my dad lk 20 yrs ago to repay debts and also nv return and she
got scolded by my 7th aunt and my dad won 4D few yrs back and she
became slightly better, or seeing me doing well in sch, compared to
cousin, son of 7th uncle who was not that academically inclined etc
etc.. what made me wanna post this is bcos my mum told me that the
auntie called her up and asked her whether our family needed any
help for my education, can go approach my 8th uncle or the 6th one
bcos they're single and they are the ones who helped those screwed
up pple pay their debts. My mum said dun need bcos we can afford..
a few days later, that aunt called up and asked the same thing
again, as if we'll borrow money from her, this rly pissed my mum
off and she said she wun be that nice if tt aunt called up again,
asking the stupid qn again.
money money money, cause of all troubles...
