The long-lost Aunt.
Monday, October 10, 2005
i finally saw my long-lost aunt. she's been given away after birth. yes, so sad. but at that point of time, my dad's family could not possibly afford to bring her up. times were bad n the entire family of bout 10 were struggling badly. n my dad said this to me which i find it so hilariously funny n dumb. lol. he said: "ya lar..the pple in olden times..dunno how to think..only noe how to make babies...nvr think of whether they have the means to bring them up." heh..i find it soo truee.nw in modern society.. costs of living is like so darn high. n yet the ironic part is the govern encouraging more births..cos we're movin into an ageing population. although with some help from the govt like grantss, i guess it dun really help much. maybe a little. perhaps they want to try cutting down on road tax, transport, housing, food etc?? LOL. i guess to me, the ideal is two kids!! hee. givin birth is like so torturing summore..inflate like a balloon for 9 months. after that gotta go thru that excruciating pain to get the baby out. i really admire those women in olden times!! 10 over kidsss!!! my GOD...OKOK back to my aunt..its really a miracle we found her :) they found her through church. thk GOD. today we met up for dinner at fortunate restaurant. mi, my dad, aunt lili, aunt mabel (the long-lost aunt), her husband, uncle poh n uncle liang. n she kept on askin bout her past. i guess she's really curious. but wun she have some resentment towards my grandpa n grandma for givin her away?? maybe a little but my dad and aunt lili keeps on tellin her that its for the better. at least she would be able to have a proper education. but the funny thing is my dad's younger then her. get it?? it means my grandma give birth again after she was given away!!!!! but they said the reason y they could afford to keep my dad is bcos my grandpa prosper when my dad was born. soo lucky. lol. n the story goes on n on after grandpa prosper...the fights at home with grandma..the women he kept..the money that was swindled..the education he failed to give his kids..the many houses that was bought n sold..n lastly the death. from heart attack. seriously speakin if he know how to put his money to good use. he would be a millionaire today. btw, i was totally shock when aunt lili put 50 bucks into my hand. i was like "wat for give me money??" n she only said :"study hard." yea she's rich. but i like earnin money myself :) thks anyway..huggs. i found out another freaky thing. high blood pressure runs in dear's family too. i was so shock when i found out durin our tok on the fone just now. we have like so much in common. when i first found out he is left handed like me, i was amazed. n now..the high blood pressure thingy in both our family??? oh man. maybe its nothing to freak about. but dere's more things to add.. which i'm so tired to remember now. okay its time for bed..this post is sooooo lengthy.
