Dear Diary,

                 I just came back from work. It has been a seven years since my father has passed away. I have decided to stop my education and help my family by going to work. My mother also has took a job too.
                 Thanks to Mr Chong,I had a job. He took me in his shop for me to work. I remembered that Ah Kee said that he wanted to work. He was so stubborn that he wanted to work. He says that he wants to help the family too. But I explained to him that having job is really difficult. I have to cycle up slopes everyday in the hot sun. I would sometimes have to get scolded. If he did not go to work he could study well and get a greater job in the future so that he support the family more than me.
                 He listened to my advice and went to study. Now everyday in he family has a great job. Ah Kee has passed with flying colours in his university. I have planned to take mother to dinner. I want to thank her for working very hard and treating me with respect all these years. I really appreciate it, so I decided to bring her to dinner to show gratitude.
                 Ah Nya also has passed her exams well. I am taking her dinner too. I hope she gets a really good job. Even if I stopped my studies long ago it is still very important for me to study. I want to learn too. Everybody has studied except me, so I would have the wanting to study.
                 If I study harder, I would get a better job then being a electrician. I am the eldest brother, so I must set an example for them. I hope that Ah Seng is fine at his National Service. I am disappointed that I could not see him today. But he has to do his part for his country. I feel happy today everyone is my family has succeeded in life and I am promoted by my bos to be in charge of the whole workshop.

Signing off,
Ah Hock
