Retrenched...
25th May 2005, Wednesday
The morning started with dark, lightning -ladened clouds casting over the entire island as the usual hustle bustle to work and school became decapitated by the torrential rain...
For Dad the dark cloud would cast over him for a while...
For one immensely proud, his pride and dignity has been wounded badly as his boss gave him a buzz to break him the unfortunate news of he been sacked...
No wonder I had seen him pacing around the house looking listless last night...
What an ingrate, my dad got into such bad state of health, with his aged ribs got hurt in the process of carrying heavy load in the workplace....
We all knew that Dad's fellow workers hated his guts, so I guess they would try all means to find this golden opportunity to oust him out of company... well the boss would taste the repurcussions as without Dad their projects would never deliver on time properly...
So today Dad has to return the blue Isuzu truck which has so accustomed as our family transportation (NO~~!!) and Dad has the possibility of getting only half a month pay for his recuperation period and no medical claims from his boss...that's the problem when you worked as an unregistered employee with no submission of CPF...
Well now the family gotta make plans in case Dad is to go on his unemployed state for a while.. actually sis mentioned to me a few days back that he is actually looking much cheerful without the burden of his wretched work, so perhaps it's good for him to stay off work for while and recuperate for full health for a while..Plus it seems like age is really catching up on him to do those tedious dare-devil like construction work...
Mom also contemplated on him becoming a cleaning uncle in some factory somewhere but seriously doubt his pride would stoop that low for him to work as that...
Been a paraniod as he is, he would thought his position at home would be threatened if he is not working full time and in some parts the financial state would be affected a it..but with my sister completing her studies in a year time, and if she managed to clinch a job fast enough we would have another source of income in the household...
well sometime I would want to whine that if I am earning 5 digits a month now, I could provide a comfortable life for my loved ones at the same time able to indulge in my lifestyle easily... well we just gotta to see how the situation will work out..all these money woes is really bringing me down...

Japanese word of the day: 首にします ~ku-bi-ni-shi-ma-su~ (dimisses) My dad got the end of it...
