Happy Birthday Daddy
Sometimes when i think about it, even myself is amazed at how close we are to our father even though he was away more than half the time during our growing up years. It's not like he has a choice. It certainly isnt't an easy feat bringing up four kids in Singapore while earning the Ringgit all this while. And it certainly isn't luck that he remains such a big part of all his children lives even though he could not always be by their side. It takes a lot of hard work to raise a family and even more work to keep it going and for this I respect and love my Daddy dearly.
He is this very homely and sentimental man who places his family above all things else. He is someone who still keeps all the birthday cards we made for him when we were kids, remembers all the birthdays and anniversary dates and listened attentively to all our school stories and later workplace stories ever so eagerly. Which is why till today, he still could share in all our jokes and partake in all the activities whenever he comes back to home in Singapore.
There are many things i want to thank my Daddy for on this special day. For making the decision to send us to Singapore and giving us an education which opened more windows of opportunities in lives.For inculcating in us the habit of reading from a young age and buying all the Enid Blytons, Bookworm club series and Sweet Valley Highs we could ever wanted. For introducing to us the world of Beatles, oldies and evergreen classics which we all love till today and for sharing all the Aaron Kwoks and Jimmy Lins with us. For being with us in all stages of life and giving advices which usually proved to be the best course of action at hindsight.For creating such a wonderful home which we always look forward to going back to. For being our father, mentor and ever greatest fan.
It is my greatest wish that we can all be financially independent soon so that he can slow down his pace and spend more time at home. I want to be able to provide for my daddy and give him a good life after he had provided for us for so many years now.
Like every year, i wish him good health and happiness on his special day.
Happy birthday my dear Daddy :)
