Let me tell u a story okie ????Once upon a time , a teenage ….. being rebellious and ambitious , he knows that he is not a study person , he left home at the age of 14 from Johor to Singapore…. His dad was so mad at him and then sort of assumed that he doesn’t have this son anymore…..
This boy left home to Singapore… he started working… he worked various jobs including melting the metal at the factories, sell whatever , he basically did whatever he can to earn a living… those lives were terrible….and even took up smoking at the age of 15 … he hardly return to Johor because he felt distanced from the family …. he hate going home to face his dad…. also because both the father and him are strong in their own believes… never want to give in to each other… so they hardly communicate…. As time comes by , he only went home once a year … which is during Chinese New year…
But he didn’t give up… finally he manage to earn some money … he invested in a bakery … but failed… because he cannot bake !!! he invited bakers but God must be making fun of him…. later on … he left Singapore and headed to KL ….
In KL , he started doing sales again… he is so so so hardworking..he worked day and night , weekdays and weekends..never ending ….finally , he became a supervisor … and maybe he invested a bit in that business…..
he was doing good ….. and that’s where he met his partner… both hardworking couple worked day and night…even when they date… they will be in the office’s van delivering goods!!
He doesn’t know how to tackle girls, he doesn’t understand the idea of sweet talking …. guess how he proposed to his wife?
” my mother said even my youngest brother is getting married , she said we better be fast!”
haha, and that partner of his is also silly … fell into his trap and they got married ! They got married just months before his youngest brother’s wedding!
Both the couple continue to work hard…. the business was also doing alright… then they got 2 daughters…. from a rented room, to a rented house, then they bought a terrace, then expanded into a bungalow….. from 1 lousy car, to Honda, to BMW, to Mercedez Benz and also a car for his wife….. they also got another 3rd daughter after many years ….
Things never go on so smoothly right? i guess that’s life ! the economy crises hit the market ! and also the product that he was selling was such a hot product in market, many imitations came up with extreme low price…. they cannot compete anymore..then decided to slow down that business ……..
This man is smart… he foresee another new business… then he persuaded another friend of his to be his partner…then they started another business…… they started off buying some products then they build their own products , from one shop to many many shops , from a few workers to few hundreds of workers, he even started importing and exporting , from a local business , he expanded it to an international business and now his business is among the few oligopolies in the market!
People who previously laughed at him then changed! they laughed at him saying that this business will not work , but he proved them wrong!! those people now turned round and seek help from him! he is still a kind person, he tries to help whenever he can …..
Being the CEO of the company , he never sits down and rest…. His kids never get to see him much … but his kids understand that daddy was trying to earn more money for them to buy LV!! hahaha ….
yeah … now that this man is approaching 55 years old …. or already 55 years old …. still drink and smoke EVERYDAY!! regardless of what his kids and family tells him, he never listens….. plus his favourite food is BAK KUT TEH!! terrible right ?? his hard liquor are everywhere!! in the living room , kitchen , his room ,garden and in every single car at home ( all the 4 cars they have) …….he even keep a few in his partner’s/workers’ cars…..
This busy man can’t even spell his daughters’ name correctly …:) so bad right ???
But that doesn’t matter…..
where on earth is this man now ????
Last Sunday he was sweet to send his girl to Pasarakyat Imbi to catch a bus .. He carried her laptop and bag for her…bought her snacks( which was suppose to be her dinner ) … went to check out which is the exact bus that she has to take…. then he sent her INTO the bus!! yes he followed her INTO the bus…found her seat then he said BYE!
this may sound normal to others but this is not normal to his daughter…. he hardly spend time with her .. so it is very sweet to have him doing all those for her….
the following day ( Monday) he flew off to Dubai!
sounds like a rich man’s traveling place right? but he is not rich la…. he is not there for holidays rather he went there for a business trip! heheh….
that’s the last news his girl heard about her daddy….
and …..
I miss him….
He is my daddy dearest ….. i may scold him and give him nicknames! but …. he is my one and only daddy !! He should be back in Malaysia already … but as usual… he will still be busy with his work ….
When will he call me ? no.. i won’t see him till October when i come back from China or if i am lucky , he will send me to the airport… or else , I’ll only see him when i return to Malaysia again after the trip!
***So , parents out there, don’t force your kids to study …. even without proper education , a man can do well in his life too…. but of course he has to put in extra effort and work harder than others…
