Once upon a time, there's a girl falling in love with a boy, girl was quite pretty, with very fair skin, the only girl in the family, with 2 brothers, very pampered princess i can say. Boy was from average income family, dark skin, not so good-looking and only graduated from primary school level. But both was very in love with each other and boy was hardworking.
A few years later, girl & boy decided to get married with each other. Girl & boy became woman & man. By that time, Man was very hardworking and eventually established his own company, and of cos getting richer as days goes by. Man's career was very successful, bought himself a nice car, hired a maid, and cosy home of their own, very standard kind of slightly above average family in Singapore. Not long later, their 1st son was born. Very happily marriage in everybody eyes.
By now Man's very rich, and started to waste time & money going out for entertainments, golfs, cars. On the other hand, Woman start to waste lots of money on shoppings, gyms, very tai-tai lifestyle. Later, because Man didn't spend time looking after his business, keep playing golf & signing up country club members, buy mercedez car, wife splunge money on branded goods. Soon, both of them declared bankrupt coz Man's business folded, and of cos owning lots of debts to the banks.
Woman cannot take the hardship, she was leading the pampered princess & tai-tai lifestyle before, and now that she has to work, support the son & household chores, she cannot take it. As for Man, he cannot find a job, only freelance if the company has got projects for him, no stable income. Later on, woman was pregnant with their 2nd child, a daughter this time. Man was caught fooling outside & having affair with another lady. Woman was very upset, so was everybody in the family that cares for them, utterly disappointed with Man. But for the sake of the children, Woman decided to forgive Man & goes on struggling with life. Man was very grateful and promised to give Woman a very happy life from now on. But deep down, Woman was really very upset, felt so miserable & ill-fated to lead such a life!
Man was heart-broken to see his wife so sad, as he doesn't earn as much as before, and swore he wanted to give her a comfortable life. Eventually, he got a job. Illegial job, something like a pimp, to bring girls all over the world. Unfortunately he got caught, and was sentenced to jail for dunno how long in Colombia. Man called home, informed Woman about what happened, and needed afew thousand dollars to bail him out. Woman desperately goes round and tried to borrow money from everyone in the Man's family. So everybody contributed some money to help him, hopes he can come back to Singapore soon. After the bail, he needs to serve abt 6-9mths jail over there.
And because Man left Singapore for very long time which is against the law, even if he is to come back, he will need to serve prison in Singapore too. So he continued wandering and working in Thailand and some nearby countries in Asia. He misses his children very much. Woman finally filed a divorce with Man as she found someone else who can take care of her & the kids. Man loves his wife alot still, and every month he'll send some money back to her. The 1st time was 4K, then afew thousands & so on. By this time, Woman only wants Man's money, not him anymore. She got together with a very old japanese man. This japanese man actually rented a room from Woman's flat, and then get together, and i personally thinks that he is living on her.
Some time has past, Man has been away for afew years, and their 2nd child, is already 7-8yrs old by now, recently she was being sent to the hospital as she has suffered kidney failure. So Woman called Man, said their girl's very sick now, need a sum of money from him. Man wants to see his girl badly but can't, and promised he will find money for Woman so as to take care of their daughter. Sad to say, Woman was spotted in hospital's cafe with old japanese man who looked like typical uncle siting @ those coffeeshop kind. On the other hand, woman looks very tai-tai style, definitely not poor at all. Living in a 6-room HDB flat with maid around as well. Yet she keeps demanding money from Man surviving alone w/o any kins or friends overseas. Man's family members visited the daughter and felt so sorry, decided to give Woman some money to come in handy for her medical fees. But most likely, the money will goes into Woman's pocket.
If u are in Man's shoes .. what will u do? And if u are the woman, how can u take it when others seeing u as only a money-digger now? And as the outsiders, how do u see this broken family as? Its a true life encounter story. Just wanna share it. Do cherish the ppl around u, lead life to be happy & contented...
