I know this might be a bit late but my connection was being retarded last nite.
Good luck. Try not to worry about what the uncles says. He ain't always right!

If it helps: there is no camera in the 4th floor and on the 3rd floor there is this comfy little corner somewhere where u can sit and slack off without being seen by the cam.
p/s : u r right. the cam is also used to spy on workers :)
Thank God for great cousins.
BUT really, when i think of my position now - working with the family where the BOSS is someone as judgemental and as narrow minded as the worse one comes, it makes me wonder, for how long more can i do this????
Maybe they are doing this for our own good but they sure have one weird way of handling things then. BUT hey maybe i am just as judgemental as them..sighh...
The first thing he said to me was "Aiyohh....you are so fat laa.....please laa....do something bout it, can wan la" i know he meant it for my own good and trust me i do want to lose weight but i cant help it sometimes that i have polycystic ovaries and that my hormones are not balanced and that weight gain is a side affect. Thank God i am older and do not take his saying to heart and i know he meant it in a good way but really for someone younger, wouldnt that me a bit traumatising?
Everynight when we get home, we chat about our family....who is how, who is what....and then we pity some of the others and thats when we realise...maybe we should thank our lucky stars we don't get it as bad.
It has come to my knowledge that the certain uncle has a certain impression of me - that i am a brat, that i am materialistic, that i get my way by sweet talking my father.
This sadly makes me ponder that - Maybe they feel as such because of what my sister tells them about her life without realising how bad it makes me look.
That thought comes to mind because another thing that came to my knowledge is that my sister has been preaching her "I'm Cinderella" story to the family here.
"Everyone loves Frou Frou better there. No one cares for me. They always give her everything she wants but not me. Maybe its caused she is so good at sweet talking them and getting close to their hearts"
I don't blame her at all because she has had it more tough but sometimes i wish she would realise that life isnt all about her and that when she tells people things as such it reflects badly on my immediate family when my mother has been none other than totally supportive of my sister whatever she does and so have i till late as we have recently fallen out. sighh.....
Ok, i am going off tangent.
BUT back to the main point, HOW can i change the impression they have on me when i am not given a chance????
With the dirt a person can get from our family, we sure can write one hella great Cantonese serial saga.

It's amazing how homogenous the dramas of Cina families are! We all have the same problems with our cina families..maybe with a stroy line tweaked here n there. It's all about tough love, and proving yourself against the odds. We come from the same line of "image issues" because people think we are spoilt little brats. In my defence, I am spoilt, and yes I can be bratty (and admit babe,u are on the same boat as me)..but fuck me dead I'm not a stupid, nor am I lazy. They get one part of the picture and don't see the rest of it. It's up to you to show them the other parts of your personality.
There is no point trying to change relatives. We all know how cantonese serials go, they won't change their perspective unless (a) you suddenly earn them squillions of ringgit or (b) you sacrifice your life for another in some sort of tragic accident or you fight off a bitching ghost using ur good karma Tao power, thus dying with dignity of your ancestor's honour. Since neither one is in realistic sights, leave it and do your best. Fcuk what you think your sister is saying. She may or may not be a Cinderella, but show 'em rellies that you ain't no wicked step sister either. You just got to KL, there is no way they are going to give you slack anytime soon.
Cina families are damnnn good at giving you crap! Look at me n my aunty here...9 years man....and only now does she sometimes give me a glimmer of quasi-respectful non-condescending comments.
Fowahhh this comment is damn long...too much coffee at 8am i think!
Hudson's hazel nut latte?
damn!
but thanks....good advice babe....n so true bout the rellies....
sighh...the cina in us all!
The Cinas I tell you,been getting so many freaking fucked up comments ffrom my grandmother that I want to throttle them, throw them on the floor, stand on their chests and spit on them. You just gotta let it go in one ear, out the other. Be yourself, and heck honey if they don't see you for who you are eventually then it's their bloody loss innit?
awww...aja....thanks
nice to hear advice from frens
specially out here all alone in my dungeoun!
