Favourtism

My mother was reading the chinese newspaper with my elder brother, and she exclaimed out loud at one particular article.

One mother had asked 2 maids to bring her young twins (around 4 years old I think) to the void deck to everyday from morn till night so that they do not disturb their sister.

It is not indicated how old this sister is, but I dont think it is of any importance anyway.

My mother shook her head in disbelief at how a mother would be so biased to one child that she have to send 2 other out of the way.

Please leh~ I then need to shake my head in disbelief -- at her.

Dont she remember how it was when I was studying in poly? The comp was in my elder brother's room due to his insistence, and nothing I said could make them agree to move the computer out to the living room.

I had to do my work in his room, translating my hand drawn plans into autocad, but I wasnt allow to switch on the lights because that would affect my elder brother's sleep.

Hence I had to bring my drawing close to the monitor so that I can see something from the light emitted. I had to type very softly so that I do not wake my brother up with my noisy typing habits.

I had to go though that for 3 years of my poly school life, and the only time I can switch on the lights was when my brother decided to play mahjong overnight outside.

And here she is, criticising favouritism?

Nabei, dont give me that.
