I'm UNIQUE






My family is unique.

Cos none of us look alike.

Neither my sis nor I inherit any specific facial features from either parent that will link us as a family. That's what makes us special I thought.

But my character is a give-away that I'm their kid.

Quick temper - from Dad
Mischievousness - from Mom
Easy laughter & humour - from Mom
Sociable - from Dad
Procrastination - from Dad
Loves to eat - from Dad


So, Im alittle more like Dad than Mom.

This Father's Day is unique. Unique because I came to realise how much more we are alike in-terms of character than physical appearance.

I also came to realise he is a very lucky man to have such a wonderful wife who can cook, sew (as in complex stuff like cheongsam, blouses & skirts .. dun play-play ah) and handle finances as well as having 2 lovely daughters who didnt give him much headache since our childhood days.

Some people can say their Dad is the best but wait till u hear mine. No other Dad in this world will fetch their daughters around (sometimes at wee hours), make egg & corn beef breakfast for the family, squeeze orange juice every morning when Im going on a diet, fold my laundry (sometimes), clean the house, take leave to bring me around Singapore to seek medical treatment for my skin problems, take time-off to fetch me to attend job interviews. Where to find such a Dad ??

I couldnt understand when I was much younger why my "macho" Dad dropped tears when he listened to a recording of the nusery rhymes and songs I sang for him at 3 years old, which was sent to him whilst he was serving his overseas work posting. Now I know .... for he's a great family man.

So whenever we have some disagreement, I will think of the orange juice, the foc trips and the breakfasts & I will go ... Ommmmmm ... *meditative alpha state* cooooool down, nun ...

I cant be angry with him for long cos we're of the same character ... Bound to have clashes.

So Dad, I will cut you some slack ... Happy Father's Day =)

Chants for inner peace but secretly aspires to be a *bellydancer*

Laidback but not yet a slacker, nothing captures my attention for long...
