So you have to disagree if you think what is right by submitting to God's will.

Wah the age band difference btw ur siblings v big. Your youngest bro is 16, and your eldest sis is 30.

You can have a chat with your parents again n say to them what you prefer. I am sure they will respect your decision.
*
Whoa there!! You don't simply assume that I disagree with God's plans.

Age difference is not a big deal. Its the attitude of my brother that irked me here. The middle child is suffering here, hello??

I will definitely tell my parents about my plans. nod.gif I'm a responsible adult and I know what I want.

Today really a slow day for me, can't even do any proper work. That's really bad for a German standard. sad.gif

Maybe have him transfer to boarding school?

16 years old is vvery immature in mind
*
hahaha... hmm.gif

It might work but the fool is a rascal. shakehead.gif

Yeah, he's quite immature.

Basically, I would suggest these 3 options to my parents:-

Option No.1

I would return home and work in Germany for 2 years, "babysit" him and make him go to church. haha..

Option No.2

Since he dislikes to stay with relatives in Germany, he can come to Malaysia to study and stay with me, that mean I have to move out from my cousin's place. We will stay at my own condo. And he need to go to church. haha...

Option No. 3

He have to live independently and learn to how to survive, ie, cook, cleaning, etc. My sister or my relatives will check on him during the weekend.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally, I dislike Option No.3 because then he will have too much freedom, he will have parties, invite all those skimpy dressed girls over...etc.. doh.gif

Looks like Option no.2 is workable.

Err no...sorry if I made you misunderstand what I said. I don't mean you disagree with God's plan. I mean, you disagree to go to Germany to take care of your brother.

I am sure your parents would support whatever decision you make. Hmm I thought Germans are ingrain with the military discipline spirit. Your brother even though at 16 yo should be able to be independent.

Cheer up Tina. Your cambodia trip is round the corner. Just tell your parents what you feel, if you don't feel like going back, they will understand.
*
OIC. Well most Germans are. Not my brother though. He can be independent but he's lazy to do house chores.

QUOTE(De_Luffy @ Feb 2 2015, 05:19 PM)
Then it would be more costly for you already, Stay in boarding school is not easy you know
Boarding school has a very strict discipline, like you are to switch off your light after certain hours at night and weekends u have only 1 day off icon_rolleyes.gif
*
Nah, my parents rather pay a babysitter to do it. Which got me thinking...He can enroll for Bundeswehr University in Munich, and Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg, 2 top military school. LEL.

Guys at 16 always want freedom to be alone. Trust me, when I was a teenager I wanted to stay on my own and not have my parents tell me what to do.

Let him stay alone, sure will do house chores one.
*
No way! Later he have parties and there will be a lot of girls. At his age, I'm sure he wants to do it. (have sex).

When there's no adult supervision, I cannot imagine what's going to happen.

Send him to boarding school, no chance of parties haha

No worries, let him grow by himself, he will somehow learn to be independent n responsible. I got a friend who went by his own at 16 to Singapore to take up the Asean scholarship. Today, he is working in China by himself.

Boys will be rebellious if they have an elder sister looking over them.
*
It takes a thief to know one. icon_idea.gif

I was rebellious too. blush.gif

I need him to go to church and at the same time I need to watch over him, I can't help being an elder sister.

Boys at his age only knows about porn, sex and girls. How do I make him go to church?

I can't force him to do so.

Furthermore I am reluctant to return home, not yet anyways, he can study here for 4 years or follow my parents to China (worst case scenario). LEL.

If watching over him and too much control, he may become more rebellious and not listen.

Let him fly like an eagle and find his own wings?

We are thinking of letting him stay with our relatives. The one that he dislikes the most. hahaha...

That way, he'll learn to respect others.

QUOTE(kron_ka @ Feb 3 2015, 09:03 AM)
Well boys will be boys.

Slowly encourage him and be supportive. Do pray for his growth. Course of time he will grow and mature.

Am sure your parents will work something out for both u and ur brother.
*
Boys will always be boys. This time my parents will support me, because I have given up so much of time for family.

Why do you think I went away to Malaysia? LEL.

QUOTE(Carlo J @ Feb 3 2015, 11:56 AM)
Do something else to take your mind off her. There are plenty of good movies that have been released. Download and watch them.
The stuff you're accusing your brother of seems like they've happened before.

You can't force him to go to church if he doesn't want to, it doesn't work that way.

Send him to boarding school seems like the best option so far if you want to avoid him from committing debauchery.
*
Of course it happened before. Boys will always be boys.

1. My Victoria Secret catalog are always missing. vmad.gif
2. I would noticed that he locked his bedroom door after 10pm. rolleyes.gif
3. The rest are too explicit to be listed here.

I know my brother won't like it when family members are not around him, he just wouldn't say "I love you" or "Thanks for taking care of me" in front of everyone but he'll do things for the family.

Yeah tell them that you can't always be there for him forever, he got to learn to be independent. I remember when I first left to Australia to study at 17, I was very happy, first time enjoy fruits of freedom. I learn many things on my own, like cleaning house, cooking and shopping for groceries.

You went to Malaysia to be independent, LoL.

hmm.gif how come you got Vic Secret catalogue?

Throw the catalogues away lah...then get those National Geographic magazines with mummy corpse pictures, in his room, he sure get turn off.

For me, Asian families don't usually say "I love you" to each other...we just show our appreciation by helping our folks.

That what I'm hoping for. flex.gif

Coz I buy VS lingerie. Duh!

I have National Geo magazine. lel.

Yeah, Asian families are weird.

Well you have a first introduction on how boys behave.

Half or not, you still got Asian blood.

Yeah but I don't have Asian upbringing. Its only in Malaysia, that I've slowly learning Asian values.

Especially during CNY reunion dinner, everybody will have to wait for the seniors to come and eat first right?

I would sneak in and eat my food first before grandma, haha...Grandma so pissed! blush.gif

I know she's scolding me. lel. It was during my first year in Malaysia that it had happened.

Then when I received my "Angpow", I immediately opened it in front of grandma and waving the money in front of her. blush.gif

Yeah, my first CNY was a disaster. Of course now I don't do those silly mistakes coz I learn the custom, lel.

Ang pow in Malaysian Ringgit haha...banana currency now.

Oh so you living with your uncles n aunties? Must be very big house.

CNY is time to play blackjack and cho tai ti...one card RM10...used to bet with my friends.

Sigh, i am going to experience a very quiet CNY.
*
At first I was thinking, hey grandma only gave me RM20. Then I realized, all the grandchildren received the same amount. blush.gif

Kinda. Mostly with my cousins. My uncle and aunty are working in Singapore, they only come back during the weekend.

cho tai ti?

Mine a quiet CNY too because grandma passed away last year but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't stop celebrating CNY.

I have finally bought some firecrackers..lel.

Ya I gotta run to...in office today working alone...foreveralone, haha.

You working already la, your granny should cut your ang pow allowance.

Say you in JB or KL? Since your uncle n auntie work in Spore.

Cho tai ti is a card game.

Both side of my grannies passed away, they were in their 90s... cry.gif

My father side, I don't recognise most of my cousin children anymroe...anyway most of the uncles n aunties passed away

My mother side, uncles n aunties still around, but we not so united after granny's passing...always dispute who pay the bill for gathering.

I'm in KL.

See, that's what I don't understand about Asian culture. If nobody want to foot the bill, why don't just split the bill and everybody pay?

QUOTE(Carlo J @ Feb 3 2015, 06:27 PM)
1. Haha, you definitely won't want them back anymore,
2. That's normal for his age, but he's not sleeping.
3. That's fine. Too much details are not good.

Well, he's probably shy to express his feelings for the family, not everyone expresses their feelings the same way.
Yes, that's the spirit, m'boy!

He's in control!
Wow, you're like a rebel!

But, waiting for the elders to eat first is no longer practised in my family, it's 'first come, first serve'

You really did open your angpow and waved the money! I couldn't imagine that happening.
I'm the favourite grandson so I get the most  laugh.gif

Cho tai ti is big two or Chinese poker.

My condolences to your family..
*
Well, he's not shy to express his love to his gfs. shakehead.gif doh.gif

I'm a rebel without a cause. LEL.

Yeah, I did. I waved the angpow money in front of grandma and everyone. My mum was so embarrassed. blush.gif

My dad thought it was hilarious. hehe..

I thought CNY was like Christmas. You opened your present for everyone to see. blush.gif

Nobody wants to pay, everybody want to save money. I don't think it is an Asian culture.

Err not good idea because sometimes people give different amount of money to different people in Ang Pau. If an uncle gave RM20 per ang pau, how would he feel if another uncle gave RM10 per ang pau, he say he sure wasted money.
*
Its ok to save money but how often you have family gathering?

Then I like the uncle who give me more money. laugh.gif

On a side note, most of my mum relatives are Buddhist, Taoist, etc.

So one day, my grandma put some cookies and tidbits in front of a deceased family member potrait, which is in a living room.

So here I am, curious about it all, decided to eat some of the cookies which, later I found out, were supposed to be for the deceased.. shocking.gif

I put out a fire, when my neighbour was burning some papers outside their house during some Chinese festival. blush.gif

Yeah, later I found out I was not supposed to do that.

I took my dog for a jogging once, and we passed this Chinese shop right, and at the road junction there's this small chinese idols. So many food leftovers, so my dog ate it..

Not supposed to do that right? blush.gif

Aside from my cultural shock, I like the Mooncake festival and the colourful chinese dessert. Winter solstice festival?

Yeah its very common...my family too, mostly buddhist and taoist. I was once a buddhist before I converted. I never had the privaledge of being raised as a christian.

We have every year but it looks like this year it may be uncertain. Its also due to some dispute over something that I can't say here. Anyways, hopefully we have one big gathering this CNY. Countdown to Valentine day coming, sigh...i hate this day...

ROFL...even if I have never encountered chinese culture, I would never take food from any altar.

LoL...the neighbor must be angry with you for putting out the fire.
*
Yeah I know, my mum specifically told me NOT to eat anything from the altar...but I was curious and I never seen those colourful cookies before, and grandma was busy so I decided to eat one cookie...

My grandma was soo angry. haha...Of course dad was laughing so hard that my mum didn't talk to him for the whole day.

I told my neighbour that, "You're not supposed to do open fire burning..Beside the smoke was entering our house." ohmy.gif

He was just speechless.
