A talk with mum...

When my mum don't talk to me like we, all of us owe her happiness, I actually loves to talk to her. My parents are a couple of VERY smart and brainy people. Really, they had gone through so much and they are so wise, so convincing. By actually JUST talking to her, I learn alot of things, and will have alot of thoughts. Mum is really a genius!

We are all very smart wise but when things involve relationship that comes with love, we are all doom. Thats our weaknesses.

Yesterday almost the whole family went to help out on family business. 1 of my cousin, who is running the business met an accident. He was the business right hand man since my dad was around. With face swollen, bruises all over, he still went to work. A whole set of responsibilities, he work 363 days a year. The business is simply very hard to go on without him. Although I do nothing, sitting there only observing... *sigh, I have only 1 word, "kek xim". It means heart ache in hokkien.

The uncle neighbour of our business told us, my dad was really good at the business. The business is more to making very quick decision in quoting the price. Mum said, the uncle neighbour told us, thats his talent that none of them(the whole business line people) gotto learn. He drop price earlier than people when the market is bad, increase earlier when demand is high.Until todate, they still salute and respect him. He had created a history in the line. The whole town still known us as LC's daughter/son. I am proud. Just too bad.... and after he left, everything was mess up, we begin losing one by one...until now.

I felt a mixture of angry and sad at the same time. Seeing all the problems and thinking of this business can let my dad once earn so much, why it becomes like this today? I have the urge to stop my studies to help running the business, really. Mum would have disagreed, sisses will support me I guess, if I insist laa. Afterall this is our OWN business. Whats the use of getting a degree, working from 9 to 5, earning your boss's money?

I am speaking about all the assets my dad earns, that until now we are still enjoying since 12 years ago, a family of 6.

Our conversation was interupted by the accounting firm's mail boy. I hate him. And mum realize we had talked too long... EW~ she said, "wahh..talk with you I many things didn't do already".

I feel she felt is a waste of time talking to me. :( I was actually discussing with her about the business, hoping to understand more, and try to come out with solutions.
