Today I went out to the sea with my dad and my dad's worker using a small boat which is known as "sampan" in Malay language. As usual, every time I came back, I would always follow my dad to the sea to collect some fish from kelong, a place that trap fish..what a pity that I didn't bring my phone along to take some picture. The sea waves were so fierce out there as the Chinese new year season is drawing near. For those who do not live nearby sea shore will not aware of this season. Well, when I saw my dad went into the sea to collect the fishes, it remind me of my childhood time when I always follow my dad to the sea. There were a time he got himself stung by a poison fish. Not once but twice, thrice or more but he never quit because he catch the fish not only for himself but for the family. Sound like a typical poor kind of family, doesn't it? But it is really how my family life used to be. Every time when I saw them work hard for the family, I will always tell myself, "come on Herman, u definitely have to give them a better life in the future, I know I am unable to support my family now due to my current study but at least one thing that I can do for them is to study hard, I cannot let them down" I swore to myself.
