My father used to work with the British army in Singapore. We were quite financially well off. Staying in the clan's home, we had 2 rooms & we were the 1st family with a TV. We eventually moved out to our own home.
When the Brits withdrew, he was laid off. We tightened our belts during this difficult period. He then worked for a while with a timber company in Temerloh (Pahang) & then Paka (Trengganu), which means he was away from home a lot. When the company closed down, he came back & became a driving instructor. I still mention with much pride that I was taught by him.
He's always been thrifty in his spending. In fact, when we go to the supermarket, he'll just wait outside because he said he has nothing to buy while we filled our trolley with groceries.
I still retained that DNA. Which is why I was ecstatic when I found this ......
After all, I AM my father's son. I think I'll wear this to church tomorrow.

A nice post about your father. I think you may be able to find even lower priced acceptable looking shirts around if you searched for them online.
Mun,
thanks, but I have yet to buy clothing online.
