long time no post. haha, anyway, i had a talk with my father just now, my grandma was comlaining about my sister which i totally agree about. i wont say what she did here cause its just not right lar.But instead i would wanna say what my father said. after lecturing my sister, he said that people in singapore is changing rapidly. we are becoming more and more like the western world. our culture and values are slowly being diluted in the sea of fast food and western believes. i do agree to it. he says that in the future, family relationships wil llast only 2 generations. the child and the parents, there wont be such thing call grandparents simply because they believe its their parents responsibility not theirs. im a stauch supporter of traditional confucious teachings on family values and i dont wish for that to happen. its like a cousin of mine, my uncle paid so much for him to go overseas to study but he then decide to migrate there and not come back anymore. How heart breaking it can be for my uncle. you bring him up, you support him, you put your entire CPF for him to study and he one day says oh ive found a life there, im not coming back. i feel sad for my uncle. i swear i will never treat my parents this way and ill make it a point to educate my child about real chinese values. just like how my father has taught me
