Dad - the man who worked hard to sustain our life..




I realised that I didn`t type much about my family for this blog (I`m sorry).Hence, I take this as a chance to introduce my family via my blog. First, I`ll introduce my dad.


He worked as a teacher and he is a teacher. You might be surprised that why did I describe him in this way. Thus, this is the explanation: My dad was retired about 3 years ago but yet he worked as a teacher at his tuition centre.

My dad came from a poor family. They faced many difficulties during their lifetime. My dad had once described his family member to me. They lived in a wooden house in a small village when my dad was small. He had an elder brother and a younger sister.

His father, who was my grandfather, came from China. He was a thin man but he had a big strength to hit my dad`s brother in earlier times. He was bad-tempered but responsible. He took care of my dad and his siblings very well. He canned my dad`s elder brother not because that he was too mad because of the pressure of the life but the behave of my dad`s brother. He was so disappointed to know that he was unable to teach his son the moral and the principal of life. He was upset. He passed away during Chinese New Year before my dad`s marriage. My grandmother cried a lot because of this.

My dad`s mother, who was my grandmother came from China, too. She was a very thin woman but she was a very tough woman. She worked hard to sustain their life. She paid her loyalty to her husband and she was totally a responsible, obedient and well-behaved woman. She paid her love and kindness to my dad during her life time. My dad said that during the first time he brought my mum to his house, her mum (my grandmother) insisted that she want to cook herself for my mum as celebration. My dad said that her mum was having some problem for her eyesight but yet she insisted to cook. She cut her fingers unconsciously when she was chopping a chicken. She hid it from my dad and finally when my dad knew about it, my dad was so touched and sad to see his mother`s love and scarification. I forgot whether did he cry but my dad remembered it for his whole life.

My dad`s elder brother loves to gamble and he is a drunkard. He used all the money given by my grandparents to gamble. He is a disobedient child and he refused to come back to see my grandmother for the last time before she passed away. He was not a good character but yet he was a good swimmer. He disobey my grandparents` advises and he swam in the pool (which was dangerous for children). He often scolds my grandparents and my grandmother was bullied by him. Although he came from a poor family, he loves to gamble. He spent at least RM 10 (which was a big figure in earlier times) almost a week. He had two daughters and one was died because she was raped and killed by one of the people who gamble with my uncle. He passed away when he was only about 45 years old. I can feel that my dad is disappointed with him when he told me that his elder brother asked for the location my grandmother hid her saving money when she was about to pass away.

My dad`s younger sister (My aunt) was a tough and obedient child. She obeyed every advices and demands from my grandparents. My dad treated her very well and they were close to each other during earlier times. She is working at Singapore and she lives in Johor Bahru alone. She divorced with her husband when her ex-husband turned over to find another woman as his wife. She was highly disappointed with him. She has two children and she treated them as her whole life treasure. Unfortunately, her son refused to accept her as his mother and he went and lived with his dad .I heard that his stepmother treat him terribly. Besides her son, her daughter also turned against her and she had once cheated my aunt for her own sake. She was also a disobedient child.

My dad came from a poor family but he succeeds to change his life better. He is an obedient child and he obeys every demands and instructions given by my grandparents. He loves gardening as he is from a poor family which needed to make their own food to sustain their life. He loves family and he pays his loyalty to his friends and family. He is not only a good son but he is also a responsible husband, a good father and a good teacher.

My dad grew vary of vegetables and fruits at my house compound. He loves to joke to us and almost every day he`ll say ``I love you `` to my mother and I .He loves to teach and he is good in BM. He loves to eat bitter gourd, pumpkin (any vegetables and fruits will do). He loves his family very much and he sacrificed most of his time to his family and to work. I`m glad that he is my dad! ^^
