It just takes 1 whole week of living with both your parents and grandparents all under 1 roof to understand the generation gap in between. Different generations, different upbringings, different attitudes. Not being bias, but i sometimes do feel that these old people are just too much. It is one thing that you are at your golden age now, and it's time for the young guns to take over the tasks, but please, don't push it. Sometimes they are just too much, don't they ever know that we have a limit to things as well? Just because we are young is one thing, but asking for too much is something that im totally do not agree upon.
I expereinced the most unexpected the last night of my stay there. Imagine this scenario : you are in your 50's and came home at 10.30pm, and got screwed by your dad because it was 'very late' and everyone was worried! Who could accept that! Everyone has a life, including me! If you do not then it's your problem! I have my piorities in life, i have my own freedom. Not that i did not inform you where i was going (the best part was that i was volunteering somewhere!), not that this is my 1st time doing so (I go there every weekend!), and I AM ALREADY 5? years old! Its a pity that some people just fail to listen to explanations and want everything their way.
The old saying that the chinese community has a preference to the male gender is ABOSLUTELY TRUE in my family. But luckily that stopped at my generation, where both males and females are treated equal. I just fail to understand that why they are so 'into' males. Is it the testicle and penis thingy, or just because they are plain dumb? Come to think of it, it is the male gender which determines the gender of their offspring, not the females. So if you can't get a baby boy the next time, BLAME THE HUSBAND instead! Your son never came back when you needed his help. All he comes back for is your fortune, all he does is keep diggging and digging till you all go dry financially! There are so many other people out there who care for you, who take care of you on a daily basis, why not you just open your eyes wide and have a look around? It's still not too late to start appreciating whatever you have now, than keep waiting for the useless brat to turn up while releasing your temper on others...
It's impossible to change the mindset of these 'old people', but i sincerely hope that mine and future generations will not repeat the same mistakes and misfortunes in the future...
