family wtf is this? money-driven?

this could most probably be an x-ray of my mum's shallow head.


Long story with bad grammar and the simplest vocab from a 20 yr old.

It is always money, money and money issues. My parents, my siblings and now including me. As we all are aware that almost no one is satisfied with the life that they are having. And this totally include me. As usual, my mum is forever whining that no one is giving her money. And my dad is forever saying that he is trying to make more money but i do not see any 'trying' other than i-dont-even-wanna-say-anymore. Being the youngest, my sister is going throught that phase of life known as 'peer pressure' so she likes it when she have got something that her friends does not possess or cannot afford. Now to my brother. It's not that i like to pin-point at anyone, especially this handful of people whom i live with, but he is consently acting like a sneaky rat. I do not wish to further elaborate on that; let's just say that i hate to wake up and realised that my purse have missing cash, additionally, some of those cash arent even mine. It belongs to jasper, for he cant bring into his camp so much money, so he keeps some with me.

Now some time ago, when i thought that i was going into singlehood for a long time, i set my mind that i will join emirates and leave sg for at least 3yrs. I hated sg because of the so many bad memories and experiences i had. Of course i told my mum about this plan and i told her that i could only come back, from dubai to sg, only once per yr. I emphasized that dubai is part of arab to my mum. Then all she exclaimed was: "Then you dont have to give me any money is it?" My heart sank. In her eyes, she only bothers about money. All she cares about is money. When i told my dad about me wanting to join emirates at that time, he said (with relief), "Good. Then you can help out with the family stuff." The 'help' that he was referring to was, needless to say, money. At that time, i came to realise that all my family bother for was money. Even if im gone, they would not care, as long as i still stuff money in their pockets.

However, now that jasper has come into my life and thus im putting off that 'emirates plan' and now i intend to join SIA, if i can that is.

I just chatted with my mum through the phone just now and as usual, she was complaining to me about money. She told me some people are not as fortunate as we are because we do not have to pay our hp bill ourselves. Then i told her that after this semester i will graduate and then i can go out to the working world. I told her i will pay for my own hp bill and whatever necessities that i will need. What took me aback was when she said this: "Wah like that ar? You wont give me any money ar? $50 or $100 also dont have?" SEE!!! Till now she is still as money-minded as ever.

Last night before she left for work, she was whining when then will she have money. Then i reckoned my dad couldnt tolerate her whinings so he took off. And my mum told me: "See? That young man run off when i talk about money." wtf?!?!?!

Sometimes i wonder whether being born into this family is a curse or a blessing? I shall just put it as a blessing in disguise.
