Relatives; War of the Worlds
Hello My lovely blog! Today is a good day! In 2 days time I’ll be in New Zealand. I just finished my picture. Click the thumbnail to enlarge it! And… Hmm… I went to the cybercafe with my bro~ He asked me to go.. he wanted to beat me in some games.. but apparently that didn’t happen as often as he intended. Mwahhaahahaha…
Something I just thought about is ‘Relatives’. How many of you are really close to all your uncles and aunts? I am very close to my first cousins, aunts and uncles.. but none of the others. Anyway, the thing is, I was sitting at home drawing that little number up there when suddenly the doorbell rings and outside are these ‘never-seen-before’ people. They were like "oh my god! Its been so long! hi! Blablabla" and my dad asked me to converse with them. After a while I decided the convo was going nowhere so I left to the kitchen to get a drink. Not intending to, but accidently I overheard the conversation. Suddenly my dad was paying for the fees of the university for their 19 yr old kid. I was like ‘wtf? Who are these ppl?’ Once they left my dad was like.. ‘Oh! They are our relatives so we had to help them right..?’ Although he didnt sound sincere.. but.. heck.. Well what was worse was exactly 3 mins after the first group left, another lot came and sorta begged my dad to let their daughter work in his company cos she couldnt find a job.. Again these were some random distant relatives whom we’d all never met before. EVEN MY DAD DIDN’T RECOGNISE THEM! But wtv.. It was all so wierd. My mum was complaining about this too! Its not right to come over and beg for things. I mean they never helped us before.. ?! When my mum was pregnant and ill, they never came over and showed sympathy! When my brother had denghi in the hospital~ Not even a call!? Why should we show sympathy suddenly like that. Sigh.. But I guess I would have done the same.. Such a pushover I am.. bah! but if anymore of these ‘caring’ relatives pop over.. i’m gonna kill them. =)
oh btw, that drawing up there.. I feel like I was inspired by war of the worlds when I drew it.. wierd eh? Such a silly movie! =) Hence my blog entry title. hahaha
Well toodles for now! Can’t wait for newzeland!
(I’m coming May! I’ll visit you! =D )

i seem to always leave a comment on your blog. I dunno, i like it when people leave em on my blog so…
Anyways, just to tell you, you’re not the first person i know who’s got relatives who suddenly appear out of nowhere to ask for help. I can’t say I’ve ever experienced it before but I know people who have. Rediculous though isn’t it? People who come out of the blue suddenly asking for help. Finantial help most of the time. Hey, people didn’t get rich just by sitting on their asses all day asking for help. I can’t stand relatives who suddenly appear out of nowhere (again, can’t say that i’ve actually experienced it before but i know i’d hate it). If they were people who we always meet, always meet atleast once a year during raya, or chirstmas then it’s not so bad but suddenly after years? Not worth our time.
We are however brought up to help others though…your dad’s a nice guy and i’m sure he’s aware of his decisions. “They’re relatives after all”, dont you just hate that sometimes? Forced to be nice to the person just coz of they’re your dad’s cousin’s uncle’s aunt twice removed or something -_-;
Well, a comment given =)
PS. GET ME SOUVENIERS FROM NZ!!! Or better yet…TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!
