Dear Diary,

                 Hi, I am Ah Hock. I am the head in my family and the sole breadwinner. I faced a lot of stress as my parents did not have much savings and so I needed to find a job quickly to provide for the family. Luckily for me, I found a job easily and worked at a provisions shop owned by Mr Chong. Although the job was hard and tiring, I did not complain and grumble. I persevered on for my family. Because of working outside, I needed to quit school. Although I would like to continue studying, but I know for the sake of my siblings to allow them to continue their studies, I quit to do it. I worked from 10am till 10 pm every day. My mother would always take good care of me as she knew that I was very tired at work. I did not regret doing all these as I know it is my duties as the head of the family. Ah Kee complain that I had a good time at work and felt that studying was much more harder so he wanted to work too. He heard me saying that I had a good time cycling around while working. What he heard was just the positive side of my job but he did not know the negative sides. I explained to him of how hard it was to push the cart up under the hot sun. Ah Kee understood and went away. Now, Ah Lin is going to be a teacher, Ah Seng is doing his National Service, Ah Kee is now a junior manager in his company. For me, I left Mr Chong's shop and now work in a big electronic company, and I also passed the examination to be n qualified electronics technician so I was put in charge of the whole workshop.
