About A Dad

My Mom has asked me eons ago to find a man like my dad. I like to tell her that she got the last good one. As their child, I still act disgusted (completed with mock barfing sounds and eye rolling action- yes I haven’t matured much have I?!) whenever my parents:

1) Hold hands when walking (even after 30 years, they still do it!!!)
2) Dad plans vacations with mum (they stop bringing me along too! Humph!)
3) Buys my mom’s birthday, Christmas and anniversary presents (he never forgets!)
4) Dad asks to have his birthday dinner in the restaurant that they got married 30 years ago (it’s right along Jalan Pudu, still existing)
5) Built her a Tropical Garden in the back yard- complete with hand made pergolas, hand made wooden tables, improvised gutters, and self landscaping as soon as he retired (last year)
6) He calls her from work everyday just to talk (he is out of retirement)
7) Loves my mum just the way she is
8) Infidelity = nil

And so yes, for Father’s Day I shall write why my Dad is not only the best-est Husband but also the best-Dad:

He set the standard.

He will probably never read this pathetic soppy blog about him (and it shall stay that way) but I just wanted the world to know that he is my favourite Dad. I know, I am such a show off.
