Thanks everyone for the consolations, somehow it makes me feel
better to know there are similar people to me whom share this
shadow over my life.
my parents are the type that will never tell you what they like,
coz they believe they should not give their kids unnecessary
burdens.
It was like the trip to Korea. I believed that my mum would love
Korea (since she's so crazy about K-dramas), that even though she
raise really vocal protests, I dragged her to Korea (not really
literal, but more or less force her to go). In the end, I saw the
best smile I have ever seen on my mum in YEARS. A smile so genuine
and sincere it really makes me so happy. Thank god, I caught that
smile on a picture, and it has been frozen forever in time.
That's why this time round, I am 'dragging' her to Japan. I know
she will protest and protest, but I believe I should let my parents
see the world to the best of my abilities.
My dad likes to travel, but does not demand from me. So I know that
he is happy that we are bringing them together. I actually delayed
the trip by 1 year due to my changing of jobs, so I did not manage
to bring them last year. This year, I want to make sure I fulfill
this.
Anyway, I also know that on their secret list, they would like to
see Australia and possibly New Zealand, so I will work on making
that come true for them.
Of coz, the everyday role of making them happy, I am still
fulfilling.
Let me tell you, I had a problem in the past. My mum favours my
brother more (he is the gem in her eye, coz he suffered more than
me, and he is more intelligent and a high-flyer than me). I
suffered quite a bit of imbalance in my heart coz I firmly believe
she favours him more than me, even though she doesn't admit
it.
But when I mature, I decided to just focus on making my parents
happy, and not hanker over who they treat better, and now, I am
happier than ever before
