Everybody in my family has bad temper. My dad and my brother they are the same type. They are like the volcano. They can erupt anytime, without warning, and eruption can be as bad as the worst that mankind ever recorded. My dad now is a bit mellowed down, as he's almost reaching 70 right now. I hope life shows him how to calm down at this age. My dad has high expectation on his children too. It's very stressful.
My mum nags all the time, same like all other mothers. She does complain a lot, and same as with all other housewife (Chinese got a nickname for them: Yellow Face Aunt), she stops kids from playing; don't jump, don't climb, sit properly, eat, don't talk, don't become spider, don't play with water, don't don't don't don't don't. Things that she says are all about don't. Some would say she's being too negative. In addition, she is extremely blur too. Her classic: put rice at one side of the container, and put the soup on the other side, they won't mix. Common mum, the container doesn't have divider. Hahaha. She gets into my nerve sometimes when I stay at home too much. My temper would flare and she's driving me nuts sometimes.
I don't really have much things to say to my brother. We have a totally opposite perception of life. The time when he went crazy and screaming when his two boys didn't do or reacted slowly to his instruction, I couldn't bear watching. I left and went out to Merdeka Mall for a fresh air. I pity his children, who is under stress since young age. I foresee that they would be very rebellious in their teenage years. I hope I'm wrong.
My only sister left, is the same. Hot temper and extremely blur, inherited from my mum I guess. Things that she and my mum do, sometimes it's just unbelievable. Classic from my sister: one time when her children made her mad, she threw her hard disk onto the ground and broke it. She regretted so much, because she lost many of her memorable photos stored in that hard disk. Well, think before you act then. My late eldest sister told us once, when you're extremely angry, but give yourself one second before you act. Your action will be definitely different. I miss her wisdom.
I'm actually the only one that doesn't get angry easily, when I was living alone. When I moved back to Miri, I think I became one of them. Damn. I really don't like myself that much right now.
Life is very simple. I don't know why people live such difficult life. Anger is not healthy to human being's body. Smile is. Wonder why people don't smile more often.
My new life perception: Time is running out. Enjoy it while you can. Be simple. I learned from my late second sister.
Lastly, I love my family. I love who they are. I hope they continue to drive me nuts, for long time to come.
