My PooR Washing Machine

My poor lil washing machine kong liao .... Serves me for more than three years, never break down before. I guess we gave him too much load to work on. Haiz.... now I've to wring my own clothes -.-"

Actually, it can only support 5.2kg clothes plus water. However, I don't think anybody care about it... We just throw everything in, and this is the consequence we get!

Think of it further, after I started my working life, whenever I feel tired, I can just take a break, apply leave, get an MC if I'm ill etc etc... I always shout to people that I hate work bla bla bla, and now, I feel lazy to study, bla bla bla again...

But, my parents, they are the funny 'species'.
My mom, she never wanna stop. She is a typical housewife who always keep everything tidy, clean and orderly. She woke up 5am+ every morning to clean all clothes, dish, floor, windows, bla bla bla... you name it. I think, my mom is a squeamish aka clean freak. She will mops three times a day, in the morning, after cooking lunch and in the evening after dinner. See... told ya =.=


My father, he works more than 8 hours a day and 7 days per week. Which means, he don't take day off, at all -.-" He always gave different excuses to go to work. No matter it's raininng day (he's riding a bike to work), came back late for lunch (1pm to 2pm), or even he's ill. He takes his job post soo serious, that he only relax a bit, when we (siblings) are home. Well, thats rare >.<

I know they both work hard to keep this family, for us =) I'm glad to have them in my life. But, I hope they can have breaks, like other people's parents. Tour, holiday, vacation, wadeva... So they won't suffer any 'break down' like my washing machine.

When we're trying not to work 'so hard', my parents are finding more reason to work harder and harder. Ain't that ... irony? I guess that is the different between the O-generation and the so call X-generation...
O-generation = older generation X-generation = X (no) to work generation
(yea, I am crapping) =X

I sometimes, really hope that I have the ability to bring them to Scotland =) I know they will love that place, a lot ^^
