He departed on Friday night to Melbourne, Australia to work there. What kind of job he could be doing there? I have no idea. Really. Being a man with less education and English isn’t in his tongue, going there is equivalent to semi-suicide. Luckily that there will be someone there watching over him. (I hope so) His parents (my uncle and aunt) have to work that night despite they really keen to send him off. Being the youngest child in his family, leaving the family behind is a tough decision. They couldn’t go all the way to KLIA to send him off because they have to work, operating Ikan Bakar stalls at night.
His girlfriend didn’t notify me about his departure until the late evening Saturday. I came to know when my uncle was worried as he haven’t called back after 16 hours. The reason was he has been detained by authority for mis-communication. His plan was to announce his visit for 3 weeks. instead of 3 weeks, he mentioned 3 months. Thus, the authority needed to verify and stuff like that.
My cousin called my sister that Friday night. He wanted to borrow RM200 to get some warm clothing or sweaters. My sister break down to tears as she couldn’t afford it. She doesn’t have that amount of money when my cousin asked her.
As I trying to judge the issue objectively, I derived some pros and cons
Pros:
1. Your family love you the best. (Air dicincang tidak akan putus)
2. He finally learn to pick up his own shit.
3. During this time, I believe and have faith in god to guide him.
4. Understand that are we doing our best yet?
Cons:
1. His birthday is on the 1st Chinese Lunar Calendar. (he’ll be celebrating alone there)
2. Everyone missing him already.
3. I do miss him already as I learned to watch Chinese Costume Kungfu Drama with him since I was young.
I couldn’t omit that this reminds me of a story (true story in China)
Am I doing my best to provide to the people I cared?
Note to self: Are you doing the best you could?
