My Family (not a primary school essay pls!)
my dad is a funny man and im very proud of him. not cuz he is funny but because he is a very honest and down to earth guy. simple minded and straightforward. someone who cant hide his feelings yet who doesnt flare up easily. i remember when i was around 4-5 years old, he pampered me alot. i was so sticky to him that i even pulled his pants and refusing to let go when he was leaving for work. he rarely hits me and the only time i can remember was when i refused to let him throw away the dead goldfish and he got fed up. but thats like the only time i can remember him hitting me.
i never talk much about my dad. maybe cuz his life is not that exciting to publicise about. but i have this urge today to speak briefly of this guy who made my life what it is today. i always admire him of his ability to raise up 2 children and providing for my brother and i all the way even at this stage where im already 21. all these years, i wasnt as unfortunate as some of the others because i lead a very sheltered life. theres no ups and downs, no financial difficulties, no major big hoohaas in the family and no major conflict. and because of this peaceful and smoothgoing life he provides for my family, i am able to dedicate full attention to my studies and hobbies. although he is not rich, but he has never shortchange me of anything. perhaps i couldnt develop my musical interest when i was in primary school, nor did i join any dance classes even though i wish that i could dance, and all these are because my family is not well to do enough to buy me a piano or letting me attend music lessons. but i never did once blame them for it. they were much deprived of their social life than i was when they were kids. my dad studies til primary 6 and my mom couldnt further her studies after o'levels because she has to work to feed her family.
my dad is the most honest man ive ever seen. he doesnt take anything that is not his. he returns lost wallets and handphones thats left behind in his taxis, he gives free rides to old people and even gives them money to drink coffee, he gives my uncle money when they are in a financial crisis etc etc. he GIVES. he doesnt LEND. thats him. he is not blinded by money and im proud of it. but the funny thing about him is that sometimes he is too straightforward and naggy. i guess he just say whatever is on his mind. theres no hidden pun and you dun even have to look out for any. and sometimes he makes unnecessary comments and once even said that ryan is putting on weight... in front of ryan. (dearr.. it's not a personal attack k!)
and of cuz, besides my dad, my mom is great as well. shesh someone whom i strive to be when i grow up. shesh like my dad, except shesh of cuz more sensitive and knowledgeable. her chinese is superb and shesh a kindergarten teacher for almost 15 years now. i guess it's partly of her educational level which makes her a more analytical and sensible person. i should dedicate a post to my mom next time. shesh worth much more than a paragraph. haha
and my brother? you guys are aware that he is like the "guy that buys his sister anything". if i wanna get something, he will just offer to buy it for me or subsidise part of it voluntarily. he gives way to me (hell yeah cuz sometimes im fucking unreasonable). hahaa what more can i say? im glad i dun quarrel with my brother at all. the last time we quarrelled should be fucking long ago that i cant even remb! i always admire my brother for his arty-farty genes. everyone can fucking study but not everyone has the in-born talent to draw. while people praise me for getting good grades, i feel that i rather be born with arty farty genes. the ability to capture life into drawings is a gift from heaven. and my brother is blessed with that gift.
and thats my family. a family that im glad i am born into. perhaps at times i take them for granted and come to think of it now, im a BRAT (still am). seriously i should have shot myself with a gun if i ever see a replay of my life now on screen. i once told ryan perhaps i wun even go overseas (if i have a chance to) because im not ready to leave behind so many wonderful things. it's easy to say "i have to learn to be independent" but it is not that easy to actually do it.
and i feel that everyone should start to cherish people around you. especially your family members ;) they are there for a reason.
