  Well, the day you receive your O level results will be on Monday. At evening, go find your MP and have it sorted out.

  A few questions for you to clear the lines

  1) Are you a Singaporean? (Which I guess is a no because you are an indonesia student but claims to be more "singaporean" then some....don't say that, it is irrelevant.)

  2) What happened to your Dad? 

  3) Do you have any other income sources?

  heck no MP will be helping non-citizens. She's most likely going back to Indonesia with a tail between her legs.

  I am not sure....they are supposed to help the people (citizens) and represent them in parliament.

  But what I am sure is that 50-years-old is not too old to work. My dad is 54 and he's still working to support the family. Singapore is a very expensive place to live in...I talked to a socialogist once before and he told me since our life expectancy has increased, we should expect our retirement age to rise... 

  Which meant that I have to work until I am 80-years old!

  I am expecting your mum to live til >70-years old..how is she going to support herself during the minimum 20 years gap? Since you are still a kid, she shouldn't expect you to support her.

  Think about it, how can she help you in the next two years leading up to 'A' levels?

  i see.. yes many parents still have to. 

  i guess it is a fair exchange.. like paying for  additional lives.  nw that  you mentioned it, i once talked to an old cleaner at vivo and was shocked to find out she was 70 and had to work from morning to night. makes me think if she's going to work till the end. o guess the only way is to strike a lottery?:) 

  er sorry i don't see how not... like so many other people can, i just think it is because she's lazy or something. 

  i've been finding for solutions, like subsidised school fees or  loans, but so far can't find any like that.
