Thoughts on Dad

I know Father's day is still like another few weeks away. Here goes my post on my dad.
Being his only daughter, it was obvious to people who knew the family that I was his "little princess", always is and always will be, I know that for a fact.

Because my dad spent most part of his young life providing for the father, I didnt get that close to him until I finished secondary school. That's when I began to see things through his perspective.

As I grew older, I find myself becoming closer to both my parents particularly my dad. I find myself missing him more than ever these days, so unlike previously I speak to my dad (or rather my parents) at least 5 times a week if not daily.

When I was much younger, example: in my sec school days, I could not understand why dad restricted me from doing some things but now when I think back, I find myself being very thankful for his "protectiveness", otherwise, I would not be who or where I am today.

Being an only daughter, I admit that my dad was a bit protective of me. I didnt go to a formal party until I was about 21 or so and my curfew was 10pm and my mummy called my friend's house every 30 minutes to check on me. I was embarassed by that fact then but then I realised now that they are doing it all for my own good and because they love me.

Over the last few years, I was taken aback by how much more liberal my dad had been. When my mum started questioning me about relationship and my intentions to eventually settle down, dad chided mum and told her to let me decide myself.

Sometimes I think could it because of age that he no longer want to bother about my life or it is because he trust me?? Curious on a recent phone conversation, I asked him this question to which he replied, "It is not age, its because I trust you know what's right and wrong and what matters to me is that as always you make me feel so proud of you." It was nice to hear such encouraging words from someone who barely spoke.

My dad always say that "no where is better than home", if "no man can provide you with a safe and warmth home, i can".... My dad will always be the first person I run back to when I am faced with problems. All my life, he had been the person who is the first to celebrate my successes and heal my failures.

The bond which I started with my dad cannot be ever replaced even by anything else. Once, my bf asked if i were given a choice between him or my dad. My replied to him is, i would have choosen my dad anytime because I know that he will never let me walk through life's alone.

Perhaps it is time for each and everyone of us to reflect on our dad and to appreciate the many things that he had done for us.

To my dad and all Father's out there, Happy Father's Day (in advance) and have fun!

Lazy Monday

For some reason or another, I am feeling very lazy today. I am not in the mood for anything at all not even really to do work. All I wanted to do is sleep. I went to bed at about 10 last night but throughout the night, my phone had been beeping with smses and calls, which woke me up and...my phone has this very annoying white blinking light.

Maybe it is time for another retreat.....Someone had promised that we'll go somewhere one of the weekends in June during the school holidays. Am keeping my fingers crossed for the moment.

Balloon Flower

Ah...it felt so nice! Finally, the long awaited day is here. Last fri was my last working day of the week and I am happy about it.

I had a great time on last Fri where I had manage to catch up with some friends over dinner. And oh yes, a very good friend of mine Jx had just gotten me a purple color balloon flower... I was really surprised! Such good friend he is er?



I had sooo much fun although I didn't really got any appetite during dinner but the company had been fun and entertaining. I am always blessed with many good friends

What if

He had left his handphone in the car few months back and while scrolling thru the numerous smses I found a few from his ex. While I have no problem with them still keeping in touch,I secretly harbour on the fact that she wont come back especially not after I've worked so hard at making the relationship work.

In one of the sms, she asked him for help, with what exactly I dont know and he responded that he will help her. That itself is heartbreaking but then I could be a bit paranoid because he might be just helping as a friend but...I dont know.

He did mention she is just a mutual friend that wants to borrow car or things like that am not sure. Am still not feeling too good abt it after months....

Labour Day

Great labour day for me... I went out to Jing Xuan's full month celebration at Jurong West with my poly friends. The house was so packed and overwhelming with friends, relatives and colleagues. Baby Jing Xuan was so tired because she didnt get any sleep in the afternoon.She slept throughout the evening and we gdidnt get any chance to play with her. Baby Jing Xuan is so lucky, Aunt Amy spent her half day leave shop around to get a present for you. Hope you will like it.

Jing Xuan is coming to 4kg... RBelow is her pic.



This is a small present for you and an ang pow for your daddy & mummy. Be a good girl!



Then we proceeded for drinks at Mind Cafe located at Purvis Street. I had not been there for a long long time, like 2 years so I was game for it. The crowd was nice just that the crowd was a bit too much for me and the catch up session was great and not too much on the high side.

Had so much fun I will be doing this kind of thing again when all of us can find time......:) Here's to a great weekend ahead!!!
