A particular cousin...

I don't really like. He is a spoilt brat or rather aiming to be one.

He has and continues to give me the idea that he is materialistic, irresponsible and selfish (and not to mention vain).

He is a cousin from my mother's side of the family. His dad is retired, his mum is a housewife and his sister is studying in a college in Kampar, Perak. They live in Ipoh.

Now as far as I have known them, though not enough to be considered close, I believe my uncle and his family are in the middle class income earning range maybe lower. He used to work in the geological department but don't earn much.

And here we have his son who uses his emotions and scheming ways to get what he wants through his mum. If not he throws a tantrum or vicious fit and say things like he has a bad life and his parents don't want to help him etc.

1) Must study in KL not in Ipoh
Die die also want to study in KL because his friends are there. There isn't much entertainment in Ipoh. Needs his freedom and independence.

2) Vain pot
Tries to dress immaculately. Shaved and shapes his eyebrows. Poses like a magazine model in family photos. While working at Beautiful Gate KL for industrial training, hurt his back while helping with some household chores (like carrying stuff and wiping the fan). Has membership in a gym (when he is only a student). Die die want to get an expensive stylish blazer (every guy should have 1 good one but for RM400 you can get a tailored suit mate).

3) Gadgetry
Insists on getting the lastest hi-tech mobile phone with camera and mp3 player. Must have a good piece of laptop. Needs a car so that he get around easier when he starts work later here in KL.

4) Hypocrite
Says before that he only goes for cell group so that he can be at a more close level with his peers rather than going to church (be part of the real thing or something like that). But on a 3 month industrial training cannot stand working or be near the disabled at Beautiful Gate KL. Complained enough to get his mum to come all the way down to KL to speak to the coordinators and allow him to change jobs in his industrial training.

I hope he will grow up and start to have a sense of reality. His dad is already having a difficult time coping with some of the finances at home and having to help the sister to complete her studies and he is demanding this and that. I heard recently he wants to complete the course with a masters. Hoping that the dad could help pay that as well. So then how the hell is the sister going to complete her advanced diploma then?

I feel like slapping him.
