Character : Ah Kee / Scene 3

April 10 2017

Character : Ah Kee

  Dear diary, today is such a frustrating day! When i came home from school, i was tired and hungry. I asked Ma if we could have dinner but she insisted on waiting for Ah Hock to come home before having dinner.

When Ah Hock came home, he started boasting about how much fun he had while working when the rest of us are stuck in school!

  During dinner, Ma was clearly showing favouritism towards Ah Hock by helping him take more rice and fish. When Ah Seng wanted more rice, Ma told him to get it by himself! I even asked Ah Hock if i could help out buy working at the shop after i came back from school but Ah Hock refused to let me work in the shop as i needed to study. I just wanted to help out by earning some money so Ma will appreciate me too!

  After dinner, I asked Ma if i could watch television for awhile before going to sleep but before she could answer, Ah Hock cut in with a "No." Who does he think he is! My father? Fancy him telling me what to do all the time! I really wish i can go and work, i get scolded by the teachers all day as if i was still a little boy while Ah Hock has fun riding on a bicycle! He even told us not to wake him up when we go out early. So now he has the privilage of waking up late too?! 

  That just makes me more frustrated as i have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get ready for school.
