My Father

Last weekend was Father's Day, unfortunately i was working so had to postpone Father's Day dinner to this weekend...hence, since we're on the topic, let mi tell u abit abt this unique father of mine :)

Some of u might have met my father before...some of u have ever commented that he looks like garfield, and the more i see him...the more i agree...especially when he smiles :) not to mention the size has some resemblance too, hehe! and dats why he's unique~

My father has quite a num of beliefs(as do most of us), and one of his stronger beliefs is in feng shui...and because market research shows that 70% of a person's interests and character is based on peer and family influence...i'm also a little into feng shui...but dats beside the point...as i said, cuz father believes in feng shui...he tells mi "do you know that putting blue roses in your room can improve your luck with girls?"......now tell mi...how many fathers out there would tell his son such things???? but dats why he's unique~

My father is retired, and enjoying life(i think...), but he used to be a teacher...there are many types of teachers, like those type who cast an instant spell of sleep upon starting class, those who dun give a damn abt discipline and let students run around the class, those who rule with an iron fist, and finally those who seems to stand on the line with teaching when he/she needs to yet allow bonding with the students...my father is one such teacher...and so much bonding he has done that he has female students asking him out for dinner...and because he says he's shy, he has to pull mi along! but dats why he's unique~

And cuz my father is a teacher, he can be very long-winded at times...and because i am his son...i inherit this long-winded habit as well...for example, you can ask him wat is the answer to a certain question and he can start off with "Once upon a time, in the southern province of China" thingie...but dat's why he's unique~

Now some of u noe as well dat i have a driving license, infact its already a year old, so i dun need the p-plate any longer...so dat's supposed to mean i'm in a way more experienced...rite? not so for my father...now dat the p-plates are gone...the onli time he lets mi drive the car(his baby) is from home to the market and vice versa...even when there was the p-plate when i was driving, he would go into a state of panic and be rattling with words like "STOP", "BRAKE", "SLOW DOWN", "DUN GO SO CLOSE"...things like dat...and cuz i'm a guy...my ego is crushed into tiny bits cuz no one trusts my driving skills, not even mother who would directly tell mi in my face "you cant drive the car!" sob sob....so i try to tell myself...the car is my father's, its onli rite he cares abt it and get panicky when i drive...dat's why he's unique~

Though i gotta say i'm one lucky ass to have this father, cuz blur as he is...he never fails to be by my side when i need someone most...no joke...there are too many countless times when he has been there for mi that i wont be able to repay him in this lifetime...and the same goes for my other 2 sisters too...for whether they realize it or not...father has always been suporting and helping them whenever they needed someone...and becuz of dat, he's unique~

and so with this weekend's dinner, i can onli think of 1 best present for him...to let him noe dat he doesn't have to play matchmaker anymore(he luvs doing dat...for mi...), that i now have a dear dat i love and will cherish :)

Pa, Happy belated Father's Day :)
