A brave boy

The previous entry reminded me of my ex-pro******** Bru** Tan. He just ended pro****** earlier this month.

His parents used to be gamblers and not surprisingly they ended up with alot of debts. The mother now works 2 jobs to pay off the debts and Bru** would also work during the school holidays to earn his own pocket money.

The father? He does odd-jobs, got work got money kind. He has a skill in cooking and I tried to recommend to him some job but it never materialise. I forgot the excuse that he gave. Anyway, he in my opinion is useless. He does not bring money home and he does not care for his sons.

Bru** is not only brave but he is also a sweet boy. The day he ended pro******, he told me 'any problem call me'. Most of the time, kids would say 'Can I call you again after I end pro*****?' I was very touched by his 'offer'.

I hope he would make it to the national and then international tchoukball scene.
