He gave me everything he could because he knows how it felt to have nothing in life.

Today, I would like to share with the world, my own personal hero: My Dad.

When my Dad was younger, he did not completed his education due to his less-privilege circumstances. He was the oldest son in his family. Back then, my Grandfather divorced with my Grandmother and resulted my Dad to be separated from my Grandmother at a very young age. My Grandfather remarries another woman (step-grandmother), and she ill-treated my father when my Grandfather was at work in the day. I remember him telling me that he will only be given 2 pieces of plain biscuit everyday for his breakfast/lunch. The money that my Grandfather gave to him will be taken away by my step-grandmother, and she will spend it her own blood son instead. However, till today, my Dad did not blame on my step-grandmother, he had forgiven her for what she had done to him in the past. Now, my Dad works as a taxi driver at night, and has a hobby on collecting birds as pets. He taught me to forgive even when bad things happens to you.

I will like to thank my Dad for his unwavering support in my life till today.
My Dad has always been there for me, he has given me countless emotional support when I am feeling stress or down.
He was the one that encouraged me to keep pursue-ing on what I dream to be in the future.
He work till 2-3am every single day, so that I can pursue on what my sibling and I want in life.
He gave me everything he could because he knows how it felt to have nothing in life.

Thank you Daddy, for being the BEST of me always.
