I have an uncle which is my mum's oldest brother moved into their new place yesterday.. Just he and his wife, as he used to be living with his son & due to issues with daughter-mother-in-law (as usual), they bought their own 3NG HDB flat in Bedok.. 3NG normally refers to units with attached master-room toilet.. Corner units which also have toilets are normally bigger and they are referred to as 3A unit.. They actually spent 50K on renovations!!
Its sad that children aren't able to get along with the old nowadays but for my instance I feel its becoz of how the world has actually grown & some of the elderly hasn't really changed like how the world changes.. Difficult to understand? Aiyah, just means their way of thinking is History! lolx of coz i'm not referring to all, like mother-in-laws like my mum is so open-minded.. we can drink, smoke, club together.. which is definitely a better way of getting to know your child & their group of friends better.. if you know your child is slighty wilder than others.. come on, just let go a little.. as how my situation was when I was young, my dad used to be very strict, during secondary school days, i had to be home after school by 3pm, i could only go out on 1 weekend & had to be back by 7pm.. my friends were all going to Canto for tea dance & stuff & i had to be back by 7pm!! i didn't get to go though & when i came back late, i got whacked! belt, cane, wooden ruler was the usual tools.. once, i was slapped infront of my friend & my father's friend without even listening to any explanation.. i hated him. seriously..
so, ever since my mum left him, it was the time of my total freedom & that was where i really lost it.. i came back really late, i got into drugs & it took me twice to get caught and ultimately change.. i lost 3 years of my youth to prison..
