a sad life of my dear friend.

this post is dedicated to my dear friend is having a hard time with his life.

it might get a bit long so here it goes...

the problem started when he was a kid and being raised in a average family with brothers and sisters and also parents. the dad aren't exactly the brilliant type although he have a diploma in mechanical engineering (shipping) but he have to leave the dream behind because of the family and he actually banned the mother to go to work and the dad ended up working as a goverment worker to look after a quarters. before this job he works a person who collect money at the parking lot and i don't know what is the name of the job.

as i were saying he wasn't the brilliant type because he practically listen to no one buts himself and always make the wrong decision and not good in financial thing as he never think out of the box or long term planning and also never make any saving for the kids education or other things.

when my friend was still a kid a married couple came to his dad asking to adopt him and the married couple is actually well educated and the wife is a headmistress in a well known secondary school.
i don't know what happened in details but my friend's dad said no....and my friend just found out about this few weeks ago and told me about, if the father said yes then i'm sure his life will be much better than now.

well as my stories goes...

years have passed after this incident and when his father reached the age of retirement which is about 55 or so,his father did not get the extension on his contract with the goverment and he actually can stay at the quarters with the rental 100+ per month but he sticks with his ego and by himself went to look for rental house because throughout his life,he bought a low cost flat with 2 rooms on the 4th floor with no elevator in bayan baru..and i was thinking to myself, how on earth he wanna squeeze the entire family into house that small.

the family dont want to move out because they love the life in the quarters house plus the rental is cheap...he end forcing the whole family to moved a terrace semi detached house with the rental of 600..how dumb is that ?

then he invested all of his saving into a good for nothing investment which is a stall selling cigrattes with the magazines and stuff and now all his time and money are thrown there plus he had a job as a accounting in a small company but he was kicked out from the company which i think due to the recession.

and things started to change 3 years ago when he literally neglected the family. he go out in the morning then come back late at night. and when the wife checked his bank pasbook,a huge amount of money withdrew from his account. which we all don't know for what.

and as for my friend which the father agreed to and promised to pay for his education fees untill the end (diploma+degree) years ago now starting to twist the story by saying he agreed to paid untill diploma and if wanted to go higher use his own money.eventhough he have money he won't spent it on education of the children and according to my friend the father said i also need money to enjoy myself and now he wanna further his studies to degree and having hard time with finding money and everyone in the family is asking him to go to work where all he want is to further studies and get a degree like his sister and he told me he have a dream too. but all of his dream are about to shatter into millions pieces.

his dad knew about this but he keep quiet and say nothing and pretend like he don't know and he always keep quiet whenever matter regarding money arise.....and to avoid from the money issue,the father won't talk to anyone in the house.

now he is struggling and all i can do is write a post for him to let others know not everyone is having a happy family.
