DO SOMETHING bout your life, man!

Gone over to Sungai Petani (SP) last weekend, and that trip really pulls me back to reality.

My grandma lives over there, in a house that my father own. Then there's this whole bunch of close relatives, that also lives there, plus the extra "leach".

"Leach" is referring to one of my relative's girlfriend that stayed in that house without paying a dime, for everything that she eat, use and shit, over there. I swear that one day when I took over the house, I will sweep that leach out of the house.

That leach always give me "the stare" like I owe her a million bucks. In fact she should be thankful that I didn't scream her out of that place that is owned by my father and is only for my grandma to live in. She doesn't work, and all she does is wait for the food to arrive, and while she waits, she hide herself in the room with her broken air conditioner (that still works, probably that's the reason why the electricity bill is expensive) and watching tv.

First off, she's not in any way related to my family, other than being my relative's girlfriend, and she's been living in MY house for the past 3 years without going back to her family's place. WTF?! It's not like you don't have family to go back to?!

And then there are a couple of useless relatives, I really shouldn't be picking on them, but then again I can't stand it anymore. They have this dream of being rich, and keep investing the money they don't have on businesses. They even sell off their children's mobile phones when they don't have enough money to travel down to KL for their so called "business".

Let me tell you, I am SO THANKFUL that my parents had taught me well. I sat for my UPSR, PMR and SPM. I got my Diploma and now persuing a Degree. My parents always taught me to be down to earth and don't just sit there and expect the money to fall down from the sky or grow on a tree. That's not going to happen. You have to put in your effort and time to get something in return. Not just sit there and blindly invest the money you don't have in some business.

Being there to see how my relatives have turned out to be in their lives (secondary school drop out, didn't even made it to sit for PMR or SPM), makes me think that I am SUPER lucky to be born and raised by my parents, that always stress on working hard to achieve the things that I want.

Sure, some might say education is not everything. Heck, Bill Gates is a college drop out (correct me if I'm wrong) but at least he doesn't sit there, hoping money would fall out from the sky, right? I am definitely not criticizing high school drop outs or anyone, but, please, at least DO SOMETHING with your life, man! DON'T be a loser in your life. You still have a long way to go. Get up and fight for your dreams!
