I'm back from TW. Had a great trip even though it was short and I didn't really get to play much. I'm happy because I got my family there with me. Relative that I'd acknowledge them as true family unlike the ones I have in SG here.
My grandpa had a stroke on half side of his body, fortunately he is still conscious. It pains me to see him unable to move, speak and eat properly. :( They were considered quite poor, in taiwan the tap water's too dirty to drink, no matter how they boil it, the water is still dirty, so they can only buy water from outside, the problem is that all of them (my grandpa, grandma and uncle) have problem walking, their legs are too weak to travel so they can don't drink water for 2 days until other relatives visit them. Hai. Also, they only ate soya sauce with rice when they're hungry as they do not have enough $$ to buy good food even though food in taiwan is so cheap (it's not that they do not wanna eat outside, but the food stalls are way too far away from their home and they were too weak to travel so they'd rather have soya sauce with rice. We're so fortunate here in SG and we are still complaining this and that.
I miss my grandpa,grandma and uncle1. Uncle 1 is like a father to me. He treats me just like his own daughter, he is damn clever becos he reads up on chinese medicine himself, but he couldn't find a job because he has no qualifications aas they were too poor to go to school when they were young. Almost all his teeth were rotten but he didn't want to pluck them because he said he wanna wait until all of his children (including me and my bro) get married then he pluck all. Actually i know it's because he don't wanna waste money because he's lousy children (only 1 gave him allowance) the rest don't care about him wth. He always claim that he's ok but I know he's always in pain when he's eating. It hurts me to see him pretending that he's ok. Hiax. I wanted to gave him cash so he could go to a dentist but he refuse, so I left it on his bed when I left. I really love my uncle as much as I love my mommy.
I was so ashamed I couldn't do anything to help them because I don't have so much money now and what they needed most is actually company and money. Not only I wanna take care of my mother, I will also take care of them!
I want to earn alot of money so I can buy them a better house with air-con, and a water filter, I vowed to give them a better life. But I wish they will be able to survive till then, so I can carry out my duty as a granddaughter and niece.
Just wait a little longer, and 巧克力一定会好好孝敬你们的!
After these few days together with them, I don't mind emigrating back to TW to take care of them for the rest of my life even if I have to carry and feed my grandpa whenever I go and not everyone can take it to stay there (like my bro). But first I have to plan about my future first. I gotta earn big BUCKs so I can give them what ever they need. I'm going back on March next year. I hope till then , I can buy my own air ticket, use my own money to take care of them.
