I remember when I was a kid, Dad was down on his luck and his company folded. He had no choice but to sell of his car to pay debts and since then we spent the rest of our childhood taking public transport and I used to envy my friends who own a family car. I then told myself that I'll eventually own a car before I hit 30, at least that seems to be a realistic goal. At that time, we were rather poor and sometimes, we even had to go hungry. Me and my bros started supporting ourselves thru school at a young age, taking on part time jobs in between classes and weekends were spent waiting tables at hotels.

For a while, we even began to doubt that we can ever get out of poverty...

Years later, we managed to put ourselves thru to poly and then uni and now, Dad got a stable job and his boss lets him drive the company van. Me, I realised my goal of owning a car before the big 3-O, even though its an off peak car but still a car nonetheless. And today, my bro collected his Nissan Latio and so it seems that we have restored some family honour... heheh

My youngest bro just started working so he has to wait for his turn...

We are not filthy rich, you know, but compared to the life that we had, I'd say we had braved thru the worse and now, life is looking good again, and although to some people, it would seem pretty dumb to be owning so many vehicles in a household, but to us, its just a way to show that we have successfully walked out of the darkest days and we now have the trophy to show for it... So there...
