MZ has 2 cousins living in malaysia..
cousin A has a BIG BIG house w 4 maids, equiped w a full length pool and a garage bIg enuf to house 7 cars. cOusin A is unmarried. he believes anyone who gets close to him is after his $$. he's forever hurling abuses at his maids to vent his frustrations. his mummy is constantly afraid that her husband is having an affair. she hides her insecurity by shopping aggresively and paranoidly checking his everything.. emails, phonecalls, smses, calling his office etc.. this fam has riches.. plenty of it..
cousin B lives in the kampong.. everyday when he comes home fr work, his wife would run out to greet him, "hi dear, u are back! let me carry that for u.. how's ur day?" tHen they would settle down for dinner.. the amt of food they have is not alot.. in my mum's words, its 吃不饱又饿不死.. after dinner, they will sit outside, look at the stars, watching their kids play and chat.. they will take turns massaging ech other cos they both had a hard day.. and every morning b4 cousin B leaves for work he'll giv the wife a hug and tells her to take care..
