For My Father ! Happy Father's Day. I love you, Father.

He has a sweet face. He is also a loving person. He rarely gets angry. He always be the kind person when ever with me. I am always proud to have him. He never let me down too. He always did his best to make me feel happy. He also will always be with me when I feel down. He never stop giving me advice and spirit for me in anything that I do. He is the person I love the most. Besides, became my mum’s husband he is also my father. Yes he is my father! My only hero in the world. The guy first that I loved. The guy that I always fought for from my mother. He is the one who is very important in my life.

Mohd Daman Huri bin Ismail is my father’s name. I used to call him ‘Ayah’. My father was born on 31^st May 1969 at Ipoh ,Perak.  He is the fifth child from seven of his siblings. He was not born with silver spoon in his mouth. My dad was a poor person. He came from a poor family. My dad is a mix of Javanese and Siamese. That is the reason why I’m having such a handsome father. He lives in a kampong house which is so small. But I’m proud of him because he never complained. My grandmother which is his mother told me that my father always help her to sell ‘nasi lemak’ and some ‘kuih’ around the ‘kampung’ area. My father also did not fight with his brothers. When the time for him to rest, he don’t mind to sleep on a plank while his brothers have a good place to sleep.

When he grow up, he studied at a small kampong school. My dad is not a clever person. He only studied till from 3 because of have some financial problems. Although have to stop study, my father did not complain to. He accept the fate. At this young age which is 16 years old, my father start working as a clerk in Ipoh. He works non-stop just to help his parents to get some extra money. From a clerk, he became a bus driver. He was not ashamed to be a bus driver at a very young age while his friends get to further their studies. My father told me once, he was sad but he don’t mind because he realized he came from a poor family. That is why he always asked me to study hard and make him proud.

He became a bus driver for quite long. When he met his soul mate, my mother he was still a bus driver. They got married in the year of 1996. My mother chose my dad because of his attitude who is a loyal and a loving person. Although he is just a bus driver but he still can take a good care of my father. After they get married, they moved to Penang and officially stay here until now. Because of my father have no other knowledge except driving, again in Penang he became a bus driver that have to travel few miles just to get some money. After a year of their marriage, I was born in the year of 1997. My father was not there when my mother gave birth to me. But he tried his best ran from his work as soon as he found out that I was born safely. He told me that he still remembered the first time he saw me and hold me, it was amazing for him to have me.

I rarely see my father when I grew up because he was busy working. But he never failed to provide my stuffs such as school uniforms , stationary and more. He always not at home and came back late at night. Sometimes he did not come home at all. Once he did said sorry to me when he felt that he always not with me when the time I grow up and I need him. My father finally change his mind of his working style when he had a new job as a supervisor at a new company which is Rapid Penang. He accepted the work because he said he always want to be with me and my mother. My father is a hard working person. He always work till late at night to earn more money for the family. From a supervisor, now he became the manager of Rapid Penang in Butterworth. All his hard work worth it when he got a better place in the office. He will always be my role model on how determined he is towards his works.

Now, my father is still working as the manager. He also always have time to spend with the family. I love my father because he never give up in his life. I am not ashamed to have him as my father although he came from a poor family. Although he is a driver but because but because of his determination and hard working he became a successful person now. I am proud to have my father. All his positive attitudes make me feel that he is the important person for me. Thank you father for everything you have done to me and the family.
