CNY reopens painful old wounds

[Eisenhut]

Happiness is derived from believing that you have gained somewhat an advantage over another person. The advantage can be wealth, health, education, marriage etc. Anything that says 哈哈! 我有你沒有 ... brings happiness to the person who asked the question.

You bought a BMW you sibei happy not because the BMW makes you happy. It's the people around you who cannot afford BMW that will make you happy. If everyone owns a BMW in Singapore, you will not be happy. It's the same with Rolex and holidays at exotic destinations etc.

This is why comparing is very important. It's through comparison that you enjoy the advantage that you have gained.

Of course, it's also important to mask your comparison (and eventual gloating) as "concern" 關心. No wonder CNY is the perfect opportunity to showcase your success and whack the losers.

Hemg moi is yandao....no matter how big BMW my friends have, moi face is always more.handsum

With CNY arriving shortly, many would probably dread the impending questions posed by nosey relatives about one's personal affairs, such as whether he/she has found a girl/boyfriend and if not, why......so on and so forth.

Yet this is seriously nothing next to my own set of circumstances. For me, CNY is a time when my extremely dark and sad past returns to haunt, to reopen painful old wounds.

I came from a dysfunctional family and really hated everyone in it, from my parents to my dad's many brothers and sisters (aka my uncles and aunts).

For a start, my dad was never around, almost always absent from my life. My only existing memories as far as he is concerned were those of me getting beaten up by him when I misbehaved.

My mom loved me, but she detested my brother (and very openly too). She would inform him outright that food on the table was meant for me, not for him. And that she loved me and not him because she breastfed me but not him, so she had no emotional 'connection' with him whatsoever (I mean wtf right????).

My parents are divorced. Those moments when my dad packed his suitcase and literally walked out on the family are forever seared in my mind, especially the bit involving my mom begging me to ask my dad to stay. I had to sleep with her on their matrimonial bed that night, fearful that she would take her own life.​

If he has managed to upgrade out of a HDB flat to a condo, owns a car, has a high paying job, is married and has children, then CNY will be the ideal opportunity to flaunt his High SES status.

If the writer is a MAN, then go marry wife and make many babies to be a good husband and good father to balance off all the negativities of the past and bring joy to your new family.

If the writer is a WOMAN, then marry a husband and produce many babies to be a good wife and good mother with unlimited love for children to overcome all the sadness happened in the past.

If the writer is a SHE-MALE, then go Thailand and start all over again.

What are the crutches you allude to? Let's lay them out.

What are the crutches you allude to? Let's lay them out.

Back in 2002, Deputy PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi urged Malays to embrace meritocracy and give up the "crutches" of special govt aid. Under the affirmative action programme, Malays are given economic, education and other benefits to help narrow the wealth gap with the ethnic Chinese, who are discriminated against based on race.

"The time has come for us to give up the crutches and start walking independently," Abdullah was quoted as saying by the Sunday Star at a ruling party convention in Johor. "We must embrace meritocracy positively and view it as an opportunity to gain dignity for the community by proving we can achieve success on our own merit."

My mind sees the policies as very mildly preferential but nothing that can be deemed favouritising or advantageous to Malays.
This is also borne by the fact that with these built in, it's the Chinese that gets rich.
So I don't see any discrimination unless somebody can point it out.
