Family Affair

I seldom talk about my family as in my parents here. This is because I do not have the kind of relationship that I'm proud of with my parents. My parents are so much different from other parents and also from each other.

My father is a quiet and serious man, but he is also the pillar of our family. Everyone will look for him if something came up in the family. I always have a nice memories about my Abah, he always there for us. He seldom says his love for you but hos action will tell you that he loves you. My Abah still send me to work now eventho I myself a mother of 3.

My mother is a totally different character all together. She is a very strong woman who likes people to listen to her. She always right and even when she is wrong she is right. Imagine growing up in the household that have that kind of mother. We don't usually get a word of encouragement from her but words of condemn. She is strong minded woman, and you must listen to her. If not she will nag you from morning until night. Oh, yes, she can do that. When we were small, once she starts nagging, we went to our room and stay there forever. We even willing to skip food to avoid bunping into her.

I seldom talk to my mom, in fact I can stay in the same room with her without saying a word and this can go on for days. Whatever information that she get aboout me are from earvesdrooping my conversation over the phones or when my aunties came and they started asking me questions about myself. In fact she never knew when I got my first period, or when I had my heart broken, when I fell in love for the first time and she never knew and never ask what happened to the guy that I bought home last summer 95, and why the next next year I bought home a totally different guy. That is my relationship with my mother. We do not talk,and I'm fine with this.

You see, when I was ill, it was my father who stayed with me in the middle of the night. It was my father who went round KL looking for medicine for my illness, it was always my father. Never my mother. And because of her strong character, my husband cannot take this. Me, I get used to her critism, but not my husband. So many times that this has caused an arguments between us. You see, when my mother is in her bad mood and when she nag and critise us. I just kept quite and totally switched off my hearing mode, while my husband will take it into his heart and than sulk and give a bad times to all of us.

But whatever it is, she is my mother, and I love her in unconditionally and I'm sure she must loves me in her funny way too, same goes with my father, he loves me I'm sure even he never says anything. My parents have a funny ways of showing their love to us which we do not mind at all, after all we have been their kids for over 30 odd years but to my husband he cannnot take this, he finds this all funny and he does not like this. Like I said they are my parents and that is that. That's why pls people says that wehn you get married, you are not only marrying that person but also the whole family, so you just have to accept them the way they are.

Problems

I've been having trouble with my blogs lately, all of these started after I changed my blog to the beta whatever they called it. You know, now that you have an option to transfer or export your normal blog to the google thingy. I did just that 2 weeks ago, and I been having problem ever since that. I cannot put any slides in my blog, it just not there, and forget about the videos. I tried to upload it so many times yesterday until I gave up. I will try it again later(if I have a time)

And even worse, I cannot post any comment to other blogs that are still using the old blog format. It frustrated me, I do not want people to feel like I stop reading their blogs, so I email them and let then know. Sedih tau...

So, if people out there have any ideas on how to rectified this problem, please do let me know because I'm dying to uploas Tasya's graduation photos and the videos.
