明天要买菜，下午有空再写走出老家的路。
会提到其他老人，但大部分是俺走过的路，所以其他老人看后可chip in, 因俺也想多知道你们各奔前程后的路线。最近比较忙着其它事情。
[7/1, 10:03 AM] NCC: 老家连吃饭都成问题,爸爸跟阿公打工一个月才$150要养一家九口,靠收非法萬字被捉,因此,我十七歲就出来做家庭工,當女佣
[7/1, 11:14 AM] Angie: Ya lo papa 很可怜 一生辛苦劳苦没享受过就走了连 satu pasang kasut pun Tak beli untuk sendiri
[7/1, 11:39 PM] : 走出老家路。
老三读书年年第一，小妹也是，我排小妹后，因我没年年第一。每年都会拿到年终奖品，多是作业簿和家用朔胶罐，爸妈可乐开怀。街坊邻居会来恭贺老爸，感觉爸妈那天最欣慰。
大姐成绩也不错，小楷写得很美，她班都喜欢上校长Tan Koon Teck的华文课，校长课讲得好，人也英俊，有一众铁粉。可惜大姐初中LCE(SRP)好像没得看榜继续升学，因欠钱学校没还。过后三叔来老家与爸商量后，大姐就跟着去做家庭工。老四被老家鸡寮旁的一颗大香蕉树，不知何故倒下压伤头部流血，可能脑震荡，接着书总读不灵。
每年年假一到，大家都需各自追着学长尾巴借课本。有时借到的已再版，发现老师讲课跟书本不一样。我们三个学业都优异，学杂费都免，但每每想起将来或步上大姐后尘就揪心。所以经常种完菜后会感叹，何时走出老家路。有时也会幻想找个有钱家，商量供我完成学业，待毕业后工作才还钱。
初中在胶店里帮忙，来客时需把胶片套两端，再和客户用肩挑起，爸居中掌秤，老花眼找到秤吗后，我们才可御下千斤重。每每都希望爸快手快秤，不然长期压下会变成武大郎。最后肩膀还是压歪了一边，个子也压短了。
有位客户知道我们处境，经常开玩笑说，大家一纸为约，他出钱我读书，再把女儿许给我。这买一送一，指腹为婚，又没看过美不美，所以不敢笑纳。而每次有大客户来卖胶片，爸就得去隔壁同学金店先借钱，等卖完胶片给永南胶厂后再还钱隔壁。我每看在眼里，愁在心里，清楚家里真缺钱，而爸却希望我考完MCE/SPM后，申请师训教书补贴家用。
日复煎熬升学梦，终于生命中的贵人出现了。有天遇到小六辍学的何同学，他提起在新加坡做过工，年尾将与另一位学长再去。我求他一定要等我考完MCE带我一起去。考完再求爸签护照因不足岁，就这样傻傻跟去，还好当年没猪仔卖。
当天提了行李，简单出发，转了很多趟巴士，晚上终于到达Boon Lay小贩中心。人潮很多，随便用餐后就前往找同学的朋友留宿，可惜人搬了。只好半夜再去敲另一大龄同乡借宿，不然得睡街边。隔天一早道谢后，我们就去Jurong工业区找工。因我没回头路了，又需尽快解决住宿，所以拿下第一份需午夜轮班值的工作，而2位同学想继续再找更好工，所以我们就此分道扬镳，送君一别，很感恩两位恩人带出一条路。
随后换了几间厂，因每做了两星期后就得申请工作准证，我怕护照盖章准证后，隔年再来找工难，所以一需申请准证就换工。
有了经验，趁一次假期回家与爸商量，让做家庭工的大姐也来新加坡工作。经爸和二姑商量后，大姐就随我到大巴窑二姑家，由二姑帮忙找工。因事先已明白，未办好工作准证前，需前往关卡盖章，所以就预带大姐去关卡模拟盖章，再教她用青红灯，过路到对面坐对巴士回大巴窑。后续就不清楚了，但感觉她混的不错，回家时带了很多在新加坡购买的家用电器。
等一切就绪，我领了工资回校已是开学第二星期。老师与同学都以为我弃学了，我得解释等领工资，才有钱回校交学费。班里来了很多新同学，皆来自五湖四海，因理科成绩不入流，被编入这不三不四的文科班。纯文科是地理历史纯英与巫语文学。我们班只提供数学地理经济，需自修一科补全。好在小六看过古典小说，反正没路了，就硬着头皮报考红毛丹文学科。班里有一半是女生，坐前半部，有些男女同学各来自纯女或纯男或混合校，我们是原校生。因迟报到，所以坐最后一个位靠门边。老师时常没来，女生就会来与后座男生交谈。有的问我为啥没学音乐，她有学到八段琴。我学费都有问题，还向牛学琴，不饿死才怪。有的问怎没学芭蕾舞? 我只懂赤脚劈柴和爬红毛丹树。这些可爱同学，总让我以为身在幼儿班。温室效应，小花将来面对室外风雨或会很痛苦。
了了学科，接下是仕途路。每天五点摸黑追校车，回家行万里路到公交站，到家已近午时三点。所以经常一上车就会昏睡过去，有时惊醒不知身在何处，因从来没清醒过认路，只知终点下。有时突然惊醒已过了站，有位售票员专挑我臭骂说吃了他路钱。一角五分路钱，还真冤枉，被骂了还得多走一哩冤枉路回家。再遇到时交代他，到站时记得把我轰下车，这样大家都不受罪。
路途知马力，日久下去难应付HSC/STPM考试，何况我还有一自修科。所以考试前一两个月向大姐借了点钱投资未来(先前赚的已不够)，就在学校附近与其他外坡生，一起合租房间做最后的冲刺。时机到时不投资，得待无花空折枝。
接着冲出新加坡，这次没再单靠工厂赚钱。因Lower 6回校迟，惊动另两位也是星马与学校往返的理科同学，所以约好再出星得互相介绍好工作。
我先到Nestle厂，奥永上司还想派我去PJ厂学艺，后因工龄短改派别人。派去的两位回来就纠众罢工，因PJ厂某些福利我们没拿到。我掌管一台德国的新机器Tetra Pack，制造当时第一批星马的盒装SoyaBean, 也轮过夜班做Maggie面与Tomato Sauce。我要的是赚取工钱，但员工罢工不能开工，最终整组被开除。我领了工钱离开这些不长进同事，加入在东海岸码头做工的理科同学。
他们做场地督工一段时，我开始做土地测量师助手。在海风日晒沙尘下开工，长了很多痘痘，头发被海盐风吹成赤色。也在这时候借了他们的海鸥相机，拍下回校后参赛拿二奖的照片。
放榜后，我们三位成绩都不理想。他们继续留任工作，我只能候补等第二学期才能进大学。这对我反有利，因可多留半年赚足够钱回大学。弊是我迟同龄一年毕业。一报到大学，我欠着学费，只还宿舍费解住宿，然后申请助学金，结果立马拿到柔佛每年$2200的助学金。学费宿舍虽有了着落，年假还得多赚生活费。但助学金发放不定时，有时得先向几位要好同学借钱应急。有位蔡同学因亲戚关系拿到货，就批发我在大学卖次等Levi's牛仔裤，赚取生活费。第三年时，趁年终假衔接internship假，向华华与三位同学借了约$2000到澳洲洗碗和洗厕所赚外币，回来还了本金还赚千多块。还以为大四一年生活费费不用愁了，怎知老四成绩不理想，进不了政府Form 6, 所以只好把大部分赚到的钱，给了他去Ipoh念私院。他都把升学梦寄望我身上，我不能不顾他，因老爸胶店当时很需要他在店里帮忙，所以他没法出星赚钱。好在他第二年上诉成功回政府学校，但第四年下半年我的愁生活费了。所以要求学校让我提早毕业，因我三年半的学分已足够毕业了。但校规不通融，最少要4年，最长7年毕业。7年还得了，牛也会死。所以最后半年只报考一科挂名留学額，整半学年都在BP 做 Tax Assistant，等考试前一个星期才回校报到拿考试暗示，就把事解决了。所以最后半年没在学校花生活费，反在BP赚钱。
郑博见或许对，我的少年天干地支都是劫财，所以得到处找钱。青年有正财助学金，地支劫财，所以得来回星马劫老李的财取生活费，然后回学校上课。没有正官能量，所以没有平稳的仕途路走，得行弯曲颠簸不平的路。但这也是我与老天约好的路，所以无怨无悔。
