I did a brave thing

I offered (i offered my sister too. haha) to finance the housing loan for this flat if my dad's contract is not renewed. He will know in September.

It happened on Sunday morning. My brother and I woke at the same time. He asked what the commotion was about early in the morning. (apparently, my sister and my dad had an argument). Lilia said that my dad said not to buy breakfast for my sister and I, that we should buy our own breakfast. The usual practice would be for him/Lilia to buy food for the whole family. I was slightly hurt, but being secure as I am, I was amused too.

I think I didn't respond very positively to his comment a few nights ago.. about the possibility that his company may not renewing his contract. I reached home close to midnight and the living room was dark and I didn't think much about what he commented. He sounded nonchalant anyhowz.. I guess I could be more sensitive and sit down to speak with him some more, but I didn't.

He should have enough to pay off the remaining housing loan with pension/insurance/cpf, but I figured he will appreciate the offer. I am ready to finance the remaining loan (it's gonna be 3000 a month * 5 years. Not looking forward to it though.. and it means I won't be able to get my own place .. but when something needs to be done, it needs to be done..

I am at peace and I think I did the right thing.
