There is a saying," Fated mean fated."
I came across a happy girl. She is so cheerful and make everyone day with laughter with all her lame jokes, cold jokes, riddles and much more. As usually, she went to school everyday, go to work right after school at town and rush back home to sleep and prepare for the next day. I may sound that she is a independent girl which know how to earn money to support her own and one more thing, she is a smart girl.
But..... you wouldn't want to know the behind story of this cheerful and happy girl.
After much hang out and today market day, i find out that she live in a 1-room flat with 4 sibling and a parent (single parent family). The house is so small which some of your room may be bigger then her house which have to squeeze all their cupboard, TV, fridge, table&chair, bed, fan and anything that is available in a normal house. It may sound poor life but indeed it is but worst...
She work part-time everyday and need to pay her mum $100/m. As a student, part-time pay is only $300+ and do you think she can survive with $200+? Not only that, she have to give her father money at times. Worst thing is she is the youngest yet she have to give $300 to the family instead of the other sibbling (one in NP, one is lasalle, two NS).
She is smart and awarded Bursary award to study in NYP, $1000 cash for her. But when her mum know that she got $1000, she secretly stole her ATM card and bluff her that the amount of money will only come in at the end of the year. One day, when she went to buy things and found out that her card is lose, she went back to ask if any of the family member mistaken her card but everyone deny and she report lose the next day. When she report lose and told her mum, her mum ask her:" why did you cancel the card? I took your card. Now can return you already." So she reply," The card can't be use already because it have being teminated."
The story behind this is that her mum wanted to steal her $1000 away without giving her a single cent and luckily god help her to save the $1000. But the storu have not end yet. After her mum know that she will be taking $1000, she demand her to give $700 to her! She don't mind giving some to her mum but the problem is she need $400 to buy books. She ask her mum weather $600 can or not and the answer is no. Her mum insisted $700 if not she will not talk to her anymore. (What kind of parent someone have here. I really cannot stand) She got no choice but to give $700 and work hard for the following weeks to get extra $100 to buy her books.
After i heard this story, i really pity this girl and in the mean time, i admired her. Although she got sure a mum but she is still happy with her life. She don't care about when the sky going to fall and everything. What she care for now is to spend whatever she have and not letting her mum use.
I know i may be better family condition then her a lot but some how i am not content with what i have. I NEVER BE CONTENT.
BE FAT MAN, fat man are alway happy man(:it is true, don't you think so?
