about my dad
Thursday, July 09, 2009 @ 12:01 am
my daddy is 60 years old today, but he doesn't look like his age.
When he was young, he looked abit like Jackie Chan, especially with his big nose (think i inherited that too! :P). He wore skinny pants and aviator shades. He was very handsome in his early days according to my mum.
He was the pioneer batch of NS men and was part of the platoon that marched across the Padang during National Day.
He has a very good artistic sense that's why he became a graphics designer. He still continues to design 2D graphics for clients and he enjoys his work.
When I was young, he loves to piggy back me. Sometimes when we were about to reach home in our Hyundai Accent, i would feign sleep so that he can carry me home in comfort :P
My dad loves to watch Discovery Channel as he claims that as his ticket to the world. He loves to sing and mimic Andy Lau (although sometimes i thought his true voice sounds better!).
He's always our 'rubbish dump' during meals, that's why he has a big pot belly! When he laughs, his eyes turned into a single line which really reminds me of the laughing Buddha! *lol*
He loves the family heaps and he is always there when we needed him: an artwork due to hand in the next day, designing of posters for school event, ironing of work shirt for 1st day of work, washing our shoes when he saw that it's dirty.
He is truly the pillar of support in the family and as I watch him age and over these years, I begin to realise how BIG a heart he has to forgive us of our mistakes time and again, love us for who we are, and caring for us in his own quiet ways.
I am proud of his achievements in life, proud to be his daughter and I'm proud to say that I LOVE YOU SO MUCH Daddy!!
Happy 60th Birthday to you, life will only go better from here :):):):)
