Scene 1 Ah Hock

Character:Ah Hock

Scene:1

Dear Diary,

    I am so sad today.Why must father die?He was so good to us and always made us laugh.I feel that the one who is suffering the most is Mother as as she was crying very badly.I hope that he could rest in peace in heaven.Last time,he was in terrible pain and could not even recognise us.Like what Ah Nya said,if he lived he would suffer even more.I have promised Mother that I will give up on continuing my education and start to work in Mr Chong provision shop so that we would have enough money to survive.I told the rest of the children to complete their education so that life would be easier in the future when they have jobs and start earning more money.Luckily,the school can offer textbooks to us so we would not have to waste any money on buying school necessities.Even though Mother came up to me and told me that I could not complete my education,I felt alright as things would go better soon when the rest of the family gets jobs.I am very happy that Mr Chong offered me a job so that we can continue to live and I am willing to work very hard so that Mother would not worry.Father, you can now rest.Let me help you to support the family like what you had done last time.Life will be tough,but rest assured that we will continue to live life to the fullest.
