This is another not celebrated occasion in my family... Maybe because all these events made the restaurant simply over-crowded all the time which made us lazy to celebrate it... Another reason is because my dad is simply too ego... He doesn't like celebration where he will be the main character such as birthday or Father's Day... Sigh... What's so great with this man's ego... Hmmphhh... I just could not understand...

Hahahaha... I have never given anything to papa on Father's Day... But this year I sent him a big Father's Day card... Although I will never get the respond or get to see the reaction on their face when they see the card, I assumed that they are touched by the effort I put in... Note that those wishes in my card are all Chinese words...

I still remembered when I was in secondary school, there was this oral test with Miss Norilla... The question that she asked me was, "Name me one hero that you respect most and why"... Without hesitation, I replied her, "The hero that I respect most is my father"... He is indeed a hero in my heart... Quitting school at the age of 12 just to earn some livings in order to lighten the burden of the family... My grandfather passed away when my dad was 12... And that was when he has no choice but to quit school so that his younger sisters and brothers have the chance to study... Born in a poor family with nothing left to him by my grandparents, he managed to build his own career...

His success seems to be a hot topic among the family including his own siblings... I wonder why... Doesn't he deserve something after striving for so many years??? His 38 years of blood and sweat are more than enough in exchange to what he owns today... I really respect his perseverance and thinking in so many things... He remembered every single word told by my grandma to him... And he even passed it on to us... Being the very disappointing Teochew, I have difficulty saying those phrases out... I knew them by heart... Seriously...

He is a man full of ego... I have to say that... He simply concerns me a lot yet he does not want to show it out... He is the one who is worried about my parcel... He is the one who is worried about my luggage... He is the one who is worried about the weather here... He is also the one I speak the least to when I am here... But I know he cares... When I was staying in Subang with my sis previously, he never gave me a single call at all... Until one day when we were on the way back to Muar for Hari Raya Puasa holidays, a call from him really melted my heart... My phone rang and I was telling my sis, "How come papa suddenly call me???" I picked up the phone and he asked me where were we... I replied, "On the way"... He simple said, "Ask jie to drive slowly... No rush... There will be many cars on the road"... Gosh... And he was working at that time... I was simply so delighted and happy... It never crossed my mind that my dad would say such thing to me...

Even though his face looks fierce, he is actually not fierce at all... I climb on top of his back till I was 13 or 14 years old and he doesn't mind... Shi Han patted his shoulder all the time and said "Yo, Brother"... Shiyi argued with him all the time... Shi Wei hit him as though she caught a snatch thief... I used to hold his hand when we went shopping... We touched his face while talking to him... For me, he is more than a dad... A friend, a brother... Everyone will say that I am my dad's favourite daughter... I think I am but then again he treats all of us equally good... He dotes on Shi Han a lot too... He loves Shi Wei even more... He has never failed to disappoint me all the time... I get everything I wished for... He jokes, plays around and tries to sing Lee Hom's, Evan Yo's and Nicholas Teo's songs just to prove to us that he is still young... If I am back in Muar for holidays, he will call out my name from the door whenever he reaches home from work... Even mummy gets jealous over that... Mummy complained that there are Ying, Han, Yi and Wei to call... Of all the names, why must it be Hui all the time... Hahaha... I miss those days...

Papa, I am coming home soon to accompany you for breakfast and dinner... I am coming home soon so that you won't miss calling Ah Hui for too long... Happy Father's Day... You are the indeed my SUPERDAD... I LOVE YOU!!!
