I'm writing now with my brother is sleeping in his room. Hmmmmmmm, didn't school starts again after the festive season? He's doing Final Year Project then so, why is he still at home in his lala land? Slacker... well, unless he's on MC which is not highly possible since he was looking perfectly fine last night. Why wouldn't he just put in a lil more effort in his work? He doesn't seems to concern about his future.
Just 2 days back, he had some disagreement with mum on his "financial statement". Oh, it's a LOUD disagreement. He seems to be spending more then what was given to him and yet he still dares to argue back even though black and white was written down in mum's notebook. Oh ya, mum has this habit of writing down everything she spend or give out. So that includes brother's weekly allowances. So after some heated exchange, mum's pissed. So was him but what makes he thinks that he has the right to be pissed? Sometimes, I think mum have to let him learn the hard way. But too bad, as usual, mum is way too protective. But looking at his bank book statements, I seriously thinks that brother needs to settle down and give his expenditure a SERIOUS MANAGEMENT.
Did I mentioned that he has a girlfriend now? Great, now the expenditure should almost double. I've been there done that so I know roughly. Dinners, movies and shoppings. You do the math.
And now, he's applying for a debit card so that he can book his car lessons online. Ya right. How can I not foresee that he'll start swiping away his savings. Besides the annual ang pao money, the rest of the savings are from mum ok. That lazy bugger don't even work during long breaks or holidays! I'm thinking when will he start to bear the thought of not using mum's money anymore. I hate to use the words on him but he is making the Chinese idioms "Yi Lai Shun Shou, Fan Lai Zhang Kou" coming true. When will he be able to self-sustain?
Nowadays in modern society, the Chinese virtue -- filial piety, is becoming more and more vague. From Dictionary.com, filial piety means: in Confucian thought, one of the virtues to be cultivated, a love and respect for one's parents and ancestors. But we take a look outside, how many still practising this virtue to the fullest? How many times have you read from papers about sons beating up parents for money? How many times have you heard from people about children cheating away their parents houses? How many times have you seen with your eyes about children squandering parents hard earn money?
But luckily, my brother is not till those extend... well, at least for the moment. Phew!
Now I have to re-train my character in another server for D2! Shucks! I'd realised that I'm playing in the wrong server all along! Argh!
Anyway, just a lil piece of good news. Finally the HR department called me yesterday LATE afternoon. I have to go back there to submit more documents for work and also the signing of contract. Gonna read clearly ya. But somehow, the tentative date for training seems a lil late. It's at 21 Feb for goodness sake! So late! They'll only start paying me when my training starts. So what do I survive on in the meantime? Gosh! Think I have to do the usual way -- eat air. Haha.
