HAPPY DADDYS' DAY!
We just got back from our Fathers' Day dinner at Vivo City's No Signboard Seafood Restaurant.
All I can say is, its expensive.
We ordered, or rather, Dad ordered a Alaskan King Crab which cost $200/kg.
The one we had was 2.3kg. If you do some math, it totaled up to be $460. Please say ohmyGod.
& that's ONLY the crab. We also had other stuff like Oyster etc. Which is also expensive.
But never mind, right? Its Fathers' Day! Its a day worth the money spent! As long as the Dad's happy (:
I would like to take this chance to thank Dad for always being so supportive & encouraging in whatever I do. He never fail to stand by my side ALL THE TIME.
& it's like whenever I'm troubled over something, he'll be the 1st to notice it. Like he could read my mind.
Let me share with you guys some life story of mine...
When I was very young, like 7-year-old, Dad left Singapore to work. He went to lots of places - China, Japan, Korea... wherever his company send him to.
& whenever he leave, he'll go for months, & only returning to Singapore for a few days, & fly back again. To put it simply, I almost grew up without a Dad by my side guiding me.
That explains why I haven't been in a very close relationship with him. Even though he called home every night while he's away, I'll always pretend to be asleep to avoid talking to him over the phone. I don't know why. Just don't feel like conversing.
A few years later, or maybe a decade later, he finally came back to Singapore, for good. By that time, I'm already like, 17? There was once when he just came back, & I went out alone with him. It felt awkward. We're in the mall, & I stood very far away from him. He asked me "Are you very scared of me?". It hit the jackpot. I was indeed a little afraid of him. Because he's just so foreign to me. I wasn't used to "hanging out with my Dad". I know that hurt him a lot.
Even though I wasn't open to my Dad, I know he dotes on me the most. The way he treated me, as compared to the way he treated Sis & Bro, was totally different. I could sense that I was the apple in his eye. No matter what I do, even if it wasn't fully right, he'll stand by my side & support me.
Throughout these years, the family was so reliant on Mom while Dad was away. She's like the bread-winner of the family. Not really of course, but she's the only one around that's in-charge of the family happenings.
I remember when I got back my results for PSLE, Dad wasn't there. Same for O Levels. Whenever I got back my results, the first I'll do is to call my Dad, before Mom. Because I know no matter what my results were, my Dad would be proud of me. On the other hand, no matter how good my results is, it wouldn't be good enough for Mom. I'm always as good as Sis, that's how she like to compare.
Now that Dad's back in Singapore, though he have to drive in to Malaysia almost everyday, I am glad I get to see him everyday. Even though I could only spend a few hours with him daily, it's sufficient. I love to crash my parents' room at night & just talk to them. It made me feel so loved.
