Money not enough 2

My daughter after watch the show, asked me to go for it. When I watch the show, ,I have the same reaction as my daughter, I laughed and cried throughout the show because the story is very closed to our heart.

I recommended my friends to watch the show. One of them is a Korean lady. Although she is Korean, but she has moved to Singapore since 19, she married here, have 3 children here, she has business here, she has called Singapore her home, she has no intention to move back to Korea even she is going through the divorce process now.

She told us after seeing the show, she thought about her mother who is now 84 years old. Her mum is not well, and is looked after by her elder brother. So she called her mother to chat. Her brother half way take over the phone, didn't sound very happy even though they have not been in touch for some times. Her brother seems angry that he has to take sole responsibility to look after the sick mother, with so many daughters, none offer to help.

My friend explained why she thinks her brother should look after the mother. When they were young, the family is poor, but the mother make sure that the brother has new make to order uniform to wear to school everry year. He enjoy big pocket money. While my friend never has a single new uniform throughout her school day, every things she has are used items, used dress, used school bag. She decided to leave home since 15. She worked and find the money to study all by herself. She thought all this while, since her brother has everythings best from the mother, and the mother adored him the most, when she was old, he looks after her is natural.

The next day, her sister called her to revive her brother reaction, her brother wants the sister to take over the mother. My friend's 2 sisters all has their own personal problem, so the best person to take over the mother would be my friend because she is the most financially steady among her family. She is the only one with the energy and the mean.

She told her sister to relate to her brother that she can take over the mother and bring her to Singapore to look after her but once she was in Singapore, she will has to die in Singapore because she will not fly her body back to Korea for funeral. You guessed what, the brother agreed, and said he hands off to look after the mother. She can do whatever by all mean. And tells her, whatever documents she needs, they will prepare for her so that she is able to bring her mother to Singapore.

So, my friend decided to bring her mother to Singapore. She said during young day, she did not get much things from her mother, but she thinks look after her until she is capable of looking after herself was good enough. It is her payback time. Furthermore, she is very lonely in Singapore, because her Singaporean husband has gone for other woman.

This is one of the outcome of watching a good movie.
