when u are a teen / young adults, parents find all means to stop u from having a relationship with one whom they considered, a bad person.
when u are an old adult, they will use every resource possible to marry you off, to the extend of throwing away all the boundaries of age and background of your partner.
what does all this proves?
parents can judge a person better than we can? and what criteria do they measure? the tops of the chart will be age, occupation, background. these do determines he can give you a good life but not if he WILL give u a good life. like all the people knows how to brush, but how many of them faithfully brushes 2 times a day, and cover all the surfaces?
i know ppl are reading and 'spreading' the news. here i am being honest yet ppl rat on me. this is sabotage. please respect me. for all u know this is the last time u'll be able to read the posts.
i am disappointed with my parents. their concern came at the wrong timings. when i was young and yearn for their affections, i got nothing. what i can recall of the image of my father is caning when me and my brother, made too much noise and woke him up. the only toy we as preschoolers had from him is nothing more than a box of lego; my mother nags about my studies and finds tuition teacher for me, bringing me to temples to pray for excellence.
yes, as not to disappoint her efforts, i was in the best class all along, striving hard to keep my place in the top 25% of the school. i spent an equviliant amount of effort in order to meet the balancing scale.
i do not wish to stay in a house with politics. i know even my closest family GOSSIPS behind my back. how do i know? becos she gossips abt u too.
i do not need this overwhelming sudden concern of who i am going out with, becos it simply shows how artifical and supeficial parents can be. i am brought up in a cold enironment and this sudden wayang and hoo-has feels out of place.
i believe i do not have the autonomy to choose a boyfriend or stay out late until i'm in my 30s when i am not attractive to rapist or robbers.
oh ya, till then, bring me to the grave with you.
and bad enough, during the preachings, fabian heard everything - how i will get cheated, blah blahs. please, if you overheard your boyfriend family rejected or against you, saying how u would con his money, how would you feel? especially what they had are based on bits and pieces of words about him. its so not fair.
on 2 occassions he knew but he kept quiet and smile it off. i sensed that something was wrong but its awkward to bring it up. if i were rejected by his family (which is possible with my family background), i wouldn't know what to do. but the bottomline is, i don't think i will be able to smile it off.
