i'm back to talk abt my dad first~~~
my dad is patient, kind, simple and down-to-earth. he used to earn like around 1k a month and still he managed to single handedly feed our family of 4 and brought me and my bro up. although my pocket $$ was always soooo little, but i never complaint... hee i'm glad i was an understanding kid. *LOL* now it's time for me to repay~ =)
when i was a kid he used to bring us out to places like chinese garden or botanical garden over weekends to take photos of us with his cheap old and reliable camera. he used to like photography when he was younger. which is good cos now i have a lot of photos to keep my childhood memories with me! otherwise weekends will be at either of my grandparents' places... my dad always take very good care of me and my bro, asks us if he sense there's anything wrong, talk to us and listen to us... and love us a lot a lot a lot!
i still rem when i was in pri sch i used to take his company transport to school. my family can never afford a car so i never have the luxurious life of being driven to and fro school (until this year, i always find sitting in a car front seat is very exciting *rolls eyes* cos the only times i take cars are cabs and i sit behind one... seldom sit in car front seat *LOL* then this year my bf bought car liao
). have to climb up and down the ladder onto the giant truck in my uniform... hahaha~ sit with all the male factory workers etc. but quite fun lah...
when my dad was working he take co transport to work everyday and my mum will wake up early to cook lunch for him to bring while he bring bread for his breaks, so he can go out without a single cent on him... he barely spend any $$ at all but if me or my bro need $$ he'll always give us without asking much.
he can't afford to save with the meagre income as well, so it's like every month his income all spent on the bills and us... he used to just slog and slog, work OTs, work over weekends, work day and night shifts, just to earn his little bit of income to give me and my bro a good life... with literally no life, everyday he work his life away for his family, although he did complain about work, he still just work on and on to support the family... i really really salute my dad a lot. at present he's 58, a school cleaner, and earns $600/mth. but still ok cos my bro and i dun need $$ from him anymore~ my baby bro's in NS now.
now that i'm working, and earning much more than him, i give my parents $$ every month and i hope my parents will have more comfortable life, although they are just so used to their simple and thrifty lifestyle... eat every meal at home, never go out shopping unless for groceries and household items, only entertainment is FM958, channel 8 or channel U.
hmmm... piangz i wrote so much... okies to summarize it all~ i always think i have the most wonderful dad in the world!!!!! never otherwise.
