Rough Rhymes

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Lazy and tired to the core. But just before I go, I shall just put up about another father and son I happened to eavesdrop in the bus today. Too bad I was too sleepy to whack him with something. This is what I heard just after I sat my ass down behind the father and son.

Father: Nothing in life comes free. You have to work hard for everything. Nowsaday, [Note the nows-a-day] nothing is easy in Sing-KA-pore. [I loved the way he emphasized on the word 'KA'] Must study hard and earn good money so that you can support yourself. Money not easy to earn one hor. Earn also not enough. Must know how to save. Don't go waste your money smoking and drinking. Must always have good habits. Money is so easy to spend these days. Especially youngsters.
Son: Yes pa.

Having heard that, I was thinking to myself this must be one of those good men who still graces earth teaching his son a lesson or two about life in Singapore. Of course we'd know the pain of money and hardships and how easy it is for us to spend money. I felt guilty coz I spend half my pay on cigarettes every month. The son probably being only around eleven years old, nodded in agreement to what his dad had to say. I took a good look at the man despite my heavy eye lids which were racing to draw the curtain on my pupils. But I just had to look at him in admiration while he was fiddling with his handphone for being a good father that he was. At least he knows how to bring up his son. Unlike some people who leave their wife to die alone. Anyhow, he dropped me a bomb just as I was looking at him. Like this:

Son: Pa! Pa! I got something to ask you.
Father: Wait wait, I checking 4D results! See if we win money or not. Papa will bring mummy and you out.
Me: *In shocking wondering* WHAT?! Wasn't he the guy who educated his son about money and good habits?

Anonymous @ that was a humourous post, praba. but i guess the father having been brought up in a generation where
4D is considered as an investment, he probably only knows to spend little of his money on our national gambling habit. :) 9:14 AM
Praba @ National gambling habit. Very true. Pun intended. See if you get my drift. 2:52 PM
