half done post yesterday and I digress too much. Continue to digress
I have a lot of inert rebellion. All those years when I felt that I "suffered", I would have voiced it once. But it fell to unhearing ears. I would remain a hushed person till I break loose. It would be of no return of what I was determine to do in the next stage.
Basically, I was determine to get the grit of life by getting my diploma, get some savings and get of the house. I did it by getting married. They did not make it any easier, they demanded a ransom in my opinion. I was worth $12K. That was the first and last time I saw my father in law lose his temper. whilst he was kicking a fuss of how my parents were "selling" me, my parents sat inside their little shop smiling that they made someone so angry.
I almost stopped my relationship with them but I do have a heart and my religion does ask me to forgive. I try but they always play the devils advocate and make it really hard to love them.
On festive seasons, when it meant that I must give festive gifts or birthday ang baos.. I still fulfill my duty. They would rave about my cousin's children or the child my mum takes care but when it comes to my children, the kinship is strange.
enough of those rant. Back to my sis wedding preparation.
Instead of helping, they want to add things for us to do. The joke of the entire thing which was so evidently shameful was the bangle my mum wanted to give to my sis.
She thought of giving a diamond bangle to her but yet knowing her, she's too stingy to do that. She bought one for $800 (she claims) but at the looks of it, diamond industry might only have cost $400. She wore it on the day of food tasting, where my sis future parents in law was present too. She showed everyone that she may be giving my sis that bangle or she might get another one. She told me in private that she has one bracelet which she hasn't worn for some time as the clasp came loose. She laments that she needs to spend another $80 to redo the clasp and wash. hinting me to give her some $$. I feigned innocent.
Flustered, she says that she will re-think what she wants to give to my sis at the tea ceremony.
That, is only one of the disgusting thing she did.
Now, back to some brighter things on my happier part of life.
I am hoping to quickly jump ship soon.
quote of the day (N is my son, J is his cousin):
N: do you know that XX is the leading company in Asia?
J: how you know?
N: I read that "XX is the leading XXtions in Asia Pacific".
J: say only wat, got do meh?
Now that's funny.
Judging from this, my son is an info collector. He absorbs info like sponge and gullibly drink it all in and trust it wholeheartedly.
My nephew is more of a street wiser. He challenges the info given and makes judgement after he is being convinced.
Now, that is telling about the parents too eh?
