Sacrifices in a family
Posted in Intro on 04/29/2009 05:25 am by LewJoonHere is just a story of Lew family
This is just a very small family live in small part of the world. Well on ancestor is just verbally told..We might have far far relative in China. Its been told by my father lost contact when we are small. (far relative is could be my grandfather father family Wooo very far hor..) Hmmm… thinking back ..how is their life there.. As i can remember and told, a handsome guy i guess hahaha, well i very picky in choosing a wife. Age 29 as i can remember well just get to know a girl in a near kampung. The is very innocent just get to know the guy for a few months and there goes the guys to ask for marrying her. Well last time not like now, have to buy flower and ring and propose…what the guy did is just ask from the girl mom. Proposing to the girl mom of marrying her daughter. The girl just 17..too innocent to know what to choose for her life. Then everything is prepared there goes the couple get married….. mom and dad this is where Lew family start…. Will post their marriage photo
Mom and Dad start their family…first with a just a rented house. Dad always quarel with grandfather so have to live separate. Living life of my parent is very tough on the first year. Mom get pregnant after that. Without any knowledge of anything whether what should eat and what should not..hearing them talking about i felt that now moderns girls is really fortunate.. thanks to the modern tech..mom carrying me doing house work, hand wash clothes for father family.. the worst thing is she doesnt even know what is morning sickness..now with just one click the symptom of prenancy info just spread out pages by pages. Then after me Joon born, life even getting more worst when mom pregnant again. Dad hardly afford much to give to us a proper living. both of them struggling very hard to give a warm family environment for us me and brother. They live in a house without proper sanitary, water piping and electricity…However we do have a happy family then..despite the difficult living.Father start with two jobs rubber tapper and saw machinery..He woke up at 4 am go to the rubber farm and after that at 7.30 go to the woods factory to work as saw machinery there. On break time dad go back to the rubber farm to collect the rubber milk and then go back to factory to work again. I still remember is very hard to see dad around except at night. I have 3 brothers, life is getting difficult now. Cos my youngest brother refuse to eat milk powder. Seeing him so thin and tiny only feed on breast milk, we have to bring him to see specialist cos after so many doctor said my brother might not be able to survive if still refuse to be feed on anything except breast milk. I still remember how i feed him with nestum using the chili sauce bottle. He is so tiny and skinny if were to compare with the normal children. Still remember wake up at 3 am in the morning to sleep in my parents room to take care of him while my parents out to work as rubber tapper. Sometime i cry when see them work so hard. Life started a bit better when mom have do her part time job, mom start to sew cushion cover and as well wool sweater. i still remember that me and brother helping her to sew the thing as well. it is quite fun hhaha..in the making of wool sweater is really bad for health..mom’s friend dies of the wool stuck in her lung then consider it so bad for health mom quit the making wool sweater as all these done at home…
Realize…dad always want to have a better living for his family. when i was small i don understand and sometime i blame them when i feel really tired and pressure in helping them. scolding and working no appreciation at all…but always i realize i am wrong when i hear them talk at night secrectly, i cry for so selfish and despite how hard it is mom and dad will always have a helping hand from me … all what they have done is for us for the family. ..my siblings not able to know and i am the resposible one to let them realize. .. it really took me sometime for letting them know thats we still stay together until now… Life getting better..dad been working as rubber tapper and sawmill machinery while mom make money by sewing the cushion cover life started be a bit better..dad tried many things to improve our living.. father begin rear chickens, ducks even goats. Last one is rearing the catfish. At that dad is working 3 jobs altogether..Dad and mom we owe both of you a lot… dad begin to find other job when the wood factory is being sell off to Japan company. Well so coincidently an uncle accept dad to be his student and he passed over his business to dad…dad start his business selling pancakes and mom stop sewing cushions cover as that time not much that she make. Both of them sells pancakes. me and my bro starts to study in University. Financial again be a problem for them. they start to sell other food and drink … They really work very hard…
Life with 3 younger brothers…first bro is quite straight forward,hardworking person and too soft hearted person(sometime too innocent people take advantage on him especially girls hahhahah sorry bro)..he is actually a good helper indeed..he will spend his bull strength to assist you. I can remember of him helping my parents collecting the rubber milk. at that time he just 9 to 10 years old (pretty young hah!) carrying 2 bucket of rubber milk walking way down the hill. kind of notty when he is small time..thanks to mom and dad he is now a good honest man now. 2nd younger bro … kinda of smart and stubborn headed person (boiled headed person hahahha) small time he is cunning person.. me and bro always will describe as lazy bump cos we do all the work while he will have some excuse to avoid the work..can be say he is always the one that worried us more..Get steady bro…youngest bro hmm…. small time he is a very shy and timid person,. doesnt talk much. He is the most enjoyed and lucky one as he do not need to go through the tough period we have gone through. Now he is totally opposite of what he is when he small time.too enjoy i guess… As we all grew up together we discuss, talk even cry together just when things gone wrong.. all have their own personality but i can darely say we are really well mannered and well taught by Mom and Dad..We love u very much all
Now and then… All of us grew up have our own family but we are very near to each other because we do care about you. We hope we can take care of you now. Sacrifices from you we would never be able to pay you back. I made a promise to you no matter how hard it is i will make sure we will take good care of you.
