October 10th, Monday
wanna talk about something neutral today. every entry also talk about myself, even i also find it boring sia. haha. so shall talk about my family.

dad's a taxi driver. sole bread winner of the family. hardworking, self sacrificing, lives to provide. his idea of giving his kids a good upbringing is to provide for our daily living and to give us a good education. since i was young he would always tell me to study hard, excel in what i do because the best gift that he could give me was a good education and that i should treasure that and not take it for granted. he would remind me that he won't always be around and one day i would have to strike it out on my own, my education would help me to do just that. dad isn't too passionate about government, he's definately not a pap man, he's got this really cool pot belly, and his first reaction to a tight pair of pants is, "dear why you wash until my pants shrink". haha. yeah my dad's cool in his own way.

mom's a housewife. equally passionate and caring and self sacrificing in all she does. poor mom lives with 4 boys in the house. one big boy, one medium boy and two small boys. all these years she also never complain. when i was still a small boy, mom stopped working as a secretary(i think) to look after me. hee, of course mah. precious son. haha. in those days they had things called typewriters instead of computers and shorthand was still in vogue. mom was an expert typer. she could type a 10 page document faster than you can count from 1 to 10! haha. okay, not really. but she won a couple of awards in her company as the fastest typer around. dunno how many hundred words a minute. very fast lah. i rem mom saying that when she was younger she wanted to learn to play the piano because she liked the sound of it. but she didn't have the opportunity to learn, maybe thats y i was carted off to to learn the art of playing the piano when i was 8 or 9. child prodigy eh? nah. never really enjoyed it. although i have a grade 6. mom rules the house man, she cooks, washes, cleans, irons, folds, tidies, packs and organises the affairs of the house. sometimes i wonder if she morphs into an octopus when nobody is around. mom is always thinking of others before herself. she's always puts the family above herself, eat less food so that her 3 hungry monsters can eat more, wake up early to prepare breakfast and send these little monsters to school, go out and buy dinner for the hungry monsters when we are lazy and the list goes on. mom is great, i think she's the best mom in the world. (no offense). haha.

for a long time my best pals were my lego toys and he-man figures, playdough and ninja turtles. so you can understand my excitement when my first kid brother came out. i was so excited i went to help mom make milk, change the diapers when he poo poo, carry him, rock him to sleep, play with him, make a fool of myself just to make him laugh. (i was p6 then). haha. those were the days. then came along the other little monster, so now there are 3. (plus myself, that time still considered little lah. haha.) shall continue this entry at another time.........(to be continued)
