My Family
I still remember when I was in primary skul, teachers used to ask us writing essays on My Family.
Erhemm….ok….let me start composing now.
Well, my name is Wong Kai Lan, as shown in the name, I was born in Wong’s family. People used to call me ‘Wong’ when I started to work. I think I prefer ‘Kai Lan’ as it refers to my real name, or else, I think they’re just calling my father’s name, or my grandpa’s, hehe. But here in KL, my colleagues used to call me Kai Lan, and, KL. Whatever it is, I’ll respond to them as long as I know they’re calling me.
(Wong Kai Lan, u’re diverting from your topic….)
I was born in a happy family. This is my father. I call him as “Ba…...” He’s my backer, or patron whenever I’m in trouble, well, such as, when being scolded by mum. Besides being my patron, he’s my supporter, or I should say, my sponsor, yes, financially. It’s a norm that whenever I ask for RM500, he’ll double up the sum of $, being scared that I’ll stay in hunger. So being her good daughter, I’ll make sure that I spend my money sparingly.

Ohya, he’s also our “omnipotent” or all-powerful engineer at home, he’ll fix whatever the problem, from electrical appliances, right to the furniture fixing…everything. Since my bro left us to NZ 16 years ago, he’s the ONLY MAN at home, whom we love so much! His personality? Funny, of course. Everytime when he acts childish, I’ll post him a question “May I know how old are you?”…Even though i like to tease him, among the siblings, i know he loves me the most! haha.
Next…..my mum! I call him as “Mummy”, or “mi…..” People used to say “a kind mother and a severe father”, but in my case, I think she “was” strict when I was young, comparing to my dad. Well, there must be an angel and devil between the parents rite…so maybe, my mum is the unlucky one! Anyway, she’s still our loving and cute mum! Her most frequent advice to me…. “Eat more arrr….” *fainted*
Here comes Wong Kai Li…my sis….well, she’s 7 years younger than me. Yet, I think she’s more mature than me, mentally. Don’t be cheated by her baby face, in fact, she’s cool, and I think she’s more trendy than her sis! You know, the typical youngster, being so energetic that she can reach home late at night (or early morning)…Looking at her, I would blame myself for being so obedient at my young age, (Imagine, 1st started to go clubbing at the age of 28?!!)...Well…anyway….my sis just started to work in NZ and I wish her all the best in her life.
Here comes my brother! Wong Gee Hing, whom I call him as “Ge…..” Well, he’s supremely rich! Earning…well, at least 10 times more than my salary per month…I admire him not because he’s rich, but due to the fact that, he’s rich by himself, w/o much supported by the family. I remember my parents used to tell us, the only precious “asset” they can provide us is in terms of education and among the siblings, he’s the only one who has made good use of the “asset” given, hehe…Undeniably, he’s capable. A doctor, who’s also a man of foresight in investment. Yes, I admire him.
Last but not least, the new comers to Wong’s family….The little angel Wong Su Yao and her gentle and soft-spoken mum, Yin Zi. By having them with us, we may learn to appreciate each other more as a family!
