The life story of my mum and her brothers

I had eight uncles at my mum's sides. And you do know that guys were treated better in an old Chinese family coz they could be of better uses  in terms of labours and they inherited the bloodline. 

So basically, they were more spoiled sorry to say this. They took dignity more than anything else. Most of them were educated to a primary school standard, a few to a lower secondary. My 5th uncle however went to Kuching or Spore and obtained a degree in Electronics. However, his dignity prevented him from working under the instructions of someone else. So he went back to my grandpa's shop and worked there ie taking care of the shop. He then taught in a school opened by my grandpa in Limbang or is it which he donated quite a lot of money into. My mum said my grandpa contributed a lot to the education institutions in Limbang. 

Btw, my mum was just guessing on all these dignity stuffs bcoz no one knew the reason he refused to make use of his expertise. The obvious characteristic of this uncle is he smokes using the thingy Sherlock Holmes used. You might have seen him for the shop was one of the shops you could see once you arrived in the town. I was pretty familiar with the streets and shops and some shortcuts of Limbang coz I always went there when I was young, not now anymore though...

My dad had the same life as this uncle of mine. My dad obtained a degree in electronics in Taiwan too but then he ended up taking care of my grandpa's shop. It's all coz he applied to the American uni to further his education but the best one didn't accept him but only the sort of second best. So my dad felt angry and he came back to Brunei. Then Brunei didn't recognise the education qualifications of Taiwan.

Anyway, my second uncle was now staying in Labuan. My third uncle and fourth uncle in KK. My third uncle used to stay here, taking charge of the cinema in Bandar. None of you should know it coz it was closed when we were pretty young. It was owned by our relative too, who is the owner of the Terrace Hotel. My brother and I used to sneak into the cinema to watch some films, which they rented from Spore. 

My eldest uncle stayed in Kuching and I have never seen him before. The others are now staying in Limbang.
