Have you ever tried to trace your father’s footsteps?

Not true

Cos if he went to UK and be a UK citizen, his parents are still in Singapore.  Maybe I can come over as FT

maybe only la........ i also got regret last time my father nv join his colleague in many things and also nv buy certain stuff

like my maternal grandpa almost bought a place at river valley. u know how much that is worth. last time was fucking dirt cheap and money easy to make

1 cny they made enough to buy a new car and can buy a flat at jalan kukoh (not fully paid of course)

that time was between buying a flat or a landed/land at river valley

my father's colleague was doing odd job in the shop, now is union gas boss (u can check his interview whr he also mentioned working at the shop)


a lot of things in life is 注定 one

A trading company in Rochor Road hired him as a general dogsbody. "I swept the floors, cleaned the toilets, ate and slept in the company and was paid $30 a month," says Mr Teo, who stayed with the company for five years. "But I also learnt a lot - how to do business, how to deal with people."

His army certs.  He told me it's equivalent to "o" levels so after getting the cert he could work for any British company for any job that required o levels or the skills he got from the army.  Apparently the army skills certificate is also recognised by any British company, even private ones

He was a trained marine engineer

if chiu see the logo of the cert ish the uk govermant coat of arms.
of coz it ish reconised in the uk rah

Depends la.   Are certs given by SAF recognised in Singapore also?  Like can the SAF issue certs for maybe N level or o level regulars that are equal to o levels or a levels outside of army?

Or they must go through MOE?

My late dad had a fun life. Farming, planting, fishing.
Enjoyed eating many foods, had a great appetite.
Enjoyed his freedom, involved in many hobbies.
