when the time is bad, the bad is real.

had a long conversation with my dad today after sending my bro off for enlistment.

my family now is kind of in some financial difficulty =/ the story is like this.

My dad have been in business for more than 15 years. so apparently, a few of his clients have owned him money since years ago, and i realised all these debts sum up to about $100+ K. =/ so now, short of those money at this time of the economy crisis, we still need to pay for the remaining sum of my house. which according to my dad is about 6 years if he's not wrong. but the problem is that, his CPF is almost dry (except for the medisave which has some 50+K that is untouchable). i think maybe it's time for my to use my CPF to co-own this house.

anyway, the morale of the story here. my dad always tell me since i was young, that mutual trust in people is extremely important. he, being too trusty with others, to a stage when people owe him a few hundreds thousands, then ran away in the end. leaving him with all this shit to clear up.

question here. is this the real world that we're leaving in? what happen to all the 'ideal' mutual trust and stuff? all fake? but i still do believe in people that i trust in. no matter the circumstances, they will be there for you. i hope i am still right.

conclusion from my dad: good times, people says hi; bad times, people siam. FML
