 Imagine walking into a bungalow and you find yourself a mini Great Singapore Sale mayhem going on where aunties are sifting through clothes and shoes with great excitement. There are mounds of clothes and accessories all waiting to be given away, all of them can be taken home without paying a single cent.
Imagine being only 17 and u already have a terrace house as your own home, all to yourself, equipped with a Volkswagen sports car and you have 2 $1600 Persian cats; and a collection of expensive designer watches; and finally getting to study in Australia.
You all must think it's some fantasy or that I'm making an exageration of what I have seen around me. You are wrong. These scenarios did happen and they happened at my Uncle's place. That 17 year old is my cousin.
Well, my family and I were quite puzzled when we arrived at my Uncle's bungalow for very few people were actually outside. Usually, there will be a lot of people relaxing outside and chit-chatting. But when we got into the house, it was like entering a scene of the Great Singapore Sale. You see, my Aunt was kind of like giving away her old clothes; clothes that seem rather new and unused. So my other distant aunts were like sifting through the heaps of clothes with great zeal and excitement. I dunno, maybe I'm not the type to be too excited about such things. I kind of felt quite irritated. I mean, baju tu semua cuma 2nd-hand, I tau la kalau orang nak kasi, ape salahnye kite ambik. Tapi, kalau da kecoh sangat nak pilih baju sampai tak dengar orang mengaji, sampai tak ingat yang kite ni puase. Sampai bile da nak buke puase pun orang lain kena ingatkan. Hai, kadang-kadang, rase malu jugak tengok pasal you just don;t think it will happen to your relatives, even if they are your extended family.
About my cousin, well you see, my Unclue bought like 4 terrace houses located side by side over a course of a few years. he merged two of them to become like a bungalow where my uncle and aunt stays on one section with my girl cousin and my other elder girl cousin stays in the other section with her husband and children. The other two houses were given to my two other male cousins, one the same age as me and the other the 17 year-old. That 17 year-old was featured in Berita Harian once, this year for his collection of designer watches...very expensive and expensive. SO basically at such a young age they already have a house for their own and a car each, even if they can't drive yet. Ok, while you are reading this, you must be thinking that I must be envious of my cousin's better lifestyle. I'm not ashamed to say that I do sometimes. However, all this is in the past as I began to think that there's nothing to be envious about. After all, all this material wealth that they have is because of their parents,not really the fruit of their own labour. For me, I would be envious if you actually have all these things because of your own labour. That's why I'm more envious of my eldest cousin than the others. Moreover, I don't really envy them now, for I kind of feel that even if you have all this things, are you truly happy? Sebab walaupun they dapat belajar kat Australia and ade semua benda-benda ni, tapi kalau tak de the right attitude about life, tak guna. I tengok they take things for granted, macam tau yang their parents will always be there to back them up. Hmm, entahlah, harap-harap they all sedar and matang in future.
 I know la, I shouldn't be criticising and mengumpat about others, especially during bulan puase. But, this is not about mengumpat, but more of comment so that boleh dijadikan satu pengajaran so that we don't repeat the same mistake too. Tha's all I have to say for now. Enough talking, now I'm going back to work. Byez! |

| Confused Ethan |
| Friday, October 14, 2005 |
I was watching ”Child of Our Time” on Thurs and I really pity some of the kids who have kind of suffered due to their controlling parents especially their mothers…I kind of felt tt way too sometimes but I guess I was not suffering tt much as compared to them. One of the kids featured, Ethan, I feel is the most pitiful (he’s the one who has a post-natal depression mum). I pity him coz while he was an infant, he wasn’t really getting the love and attention tt a mum usually gives to her child. It’s as though he’s like an unwanted child. 4 dis episode, I pity him coz @ home he’s like being told ‘No’ all the time, without any explaination why. Wat the narrator said abt him getting mixed signals from his mother’s instructions is true . I mean if I were him, I would too. For me, I hate it when ppl instruct me or give me orders without giving any explaination and when the orders change very quickly. It’s really pitiful seeing how he was struggling to keep up in class. The mum really ought to know something abt this. Haha, I guess I’m being biased since I know how hard it is 2 keep up…I guess everybody has. So, future mothers out there…dun be harsh on ur children no matter how irritating n annoying they can be. After all, as seen in de series wat u do or ur spouse do can affect ur child anytime since they’re in de stomach n until they grow up. Like Ethan, now he’s looking like he’s gg 2 grow up as a backward kid who can’t express himself well n likely 2 b a misunderstood rebel. So muz remember ah, ur child is a mirror of ur attitude and actions. |

 Hi Hi, I juz went to de Hari Raya Bazaar after break fast n it was actually quite fun! I din really go all de way but in de short trip tt i went wif de family, I actuaaly bought a lot of goodies 4 de big day..(altho I think they will b finished b4 de big day itslef). Also, I bought a baju kurung, altho I haf been quite adamant of not wanting 2 get one...hehe got kind of roped in coz de place was so happening n juz feel like Hari Raya was coming! It's a classic e.g of how de atmosphere of the place does make u feel like u wanna spend. It's not as crowded as it will b nearing 2 de big day, but it's still happening...Anyway, my baju kurung is in de shade of red, something diff fr my usual blue n green colour. But it's a lil big 4 me...hehe, de size is L but it's a lil big on de sides..I tried it juz now n i look quite shapeless...but i like it coz it's juz comfortable. I tried my sis one, it's de same as design n pattern altho hers is in golden brown colour n size M, n I fit into it perfectly, n I look good in it..Haha, but seriously, I dun regret my choice...after all, it makes me feel gd tt it feels as though I actually lost weight, I mean I always wear L n now I'm able 2 wear M. Anyways, all is gd n I'm happy 2 juz soak up de atmosphere n haf fun! you shld try it sometimes...It's like a stress-reliever since it's retail theraphy n a nice walk @ de same time! |

| Your Hidden Talent | 
You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system.
And while this may not seem big, it can be.
It's people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes.
You're just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices. |

| What Your Sleeping Position Says |
You are secretly sensitive, but you often put up a front.
Shy and private, you yearn for security.
You take relationships slowly.
You need lots of reassurances before you can trust. |

| Too tired 2 think of a title... |
| Monday, October 10, 2005 |
Yup, tt's me n my term paper babies, altho I haf definitely more 'babies' than juz 2. C how I'm howling, tt's how I feel inside of me rite now. Some ppl haf told me tt I haf been walking around like some emotionless, dead zombie. Sorry, it's not tt I'm proud or wat, juz been so tired tt I juz zone out @ times. So forgive me ya...
Been quite a while since I last blogged..let's last mth..It's not abt laziness,dun worry. It's been very hectic lately wat with the massive Cities presentation which ended last wk n de preparation 4 all de deadlines tt are staring @ my face n reminding me tt all of them( well, @ least most of them in 2 wk's time). It's been really tiring n juz plain exhausted( wait, isn't it de same thg...hmm oh well)4 de past mth...n also, Ramadhan is here n I'm feeling gd abt it altho I know tt I'll b more tired than usual. Moreover, I finally got back my laptop up n running again...Hehe, when I told de guy @ computer centre my prob, he gave me tt LOOK, de look tt of disbelief. I can understand his disbelief n disapproving look since I kept my laptop from getting it repaired 4 like 2wks..Hehe, wat can a gal do when she's too busy. Can't really blame me, you know....
Anyway, I'm well n haven't been sick 4 quite a while, altho I'm really hitting the low pt of tiredness. Any suggestion 2 rejuvenate myself? I really really need it..PLEASE!!!tt's how desperate I am..Sunday's LO has been helpful in doing some stress-relief...attended last Sun's class n it was really fun despite me feeling v thirsty fr all tt jumping n laughing. We even had some hip-hop moves..So, it was fun...altho it was almost sinful 2 see others drinking their water...mind you it's JUZ plain water...Still, despite all de whining of being thirsty, I truly enjoy de class n was rather rejuvenated. But it's not enuf...I need MORE..but I can't really do it more than once a wk 4 now...Juz plain busy...n it's no lame excuse...ask any NUS student taking de mods tt I'm taking n I assure u, they'll say de same...
Anyway, I'm off 2 finish up Lit n Nat Haz..Juz hope my eyes can actually make it past 11pm...luckily tml is a free day, @ least if I can't make it late till de nite...can continue early tml morn...nyways, cya all... |
