Dad,
From the day i was born in our family, i can so tell that i am blessed. And i am still very much convinced that you're the best father ever in this whole world.
Your big warm smile everytime you see me, coming from KL or Auckland, back to home. And your worried sad smile everytime you send me off to the other places. I know how much you love me, whenever i hear your voice, reminding me for a thousand times to be careful and to take care of myself. I know how much you feel heavy to let me go, whenever you ask me to come home ASAP or as often as i can.
You're not as hot as mom, and we don't talk on the phone as often too! But i still have this scene fresh in my mind, when you teared at the airport sending me off during my first year. I swear my heart melts everytime i think of this!
And this year, i have missed you even more. When i look at our family photos, when i receive a call from home, when i told my friends about how cute my dad is.. And coincidently you care for me even more this year too. I know you are missing me badly at home, wanting me to go home so baddddly.
Dad, i wanna go home. Like now, right now! I wanna see you and mama everyday. Even if i just hang around at the office doing nothing, but writing receipts for the customers. Even if i feel so bored and hot and sleeepy at the office. But i am always being treated as a princess with you around. You drove me to exactly where i wanted to go, you bought me my favourite food even if you dont like it, you never let me walk alone, in fact you never let me walk under the sun, and i know it's a bit unfair, but im always the last one to be blamed if anything bad happened. (sorry koko, but im the youngest, the only daughter in the family ok ;p)
For the past few days, you guys have been trying hard to persuade me to go home. I know you might think that i wanna go to melbourne so much becuz i do not want to miss the fun. Little did you know that at this moment now, i freaking hope that i hadnt bought the tix to melb. AFTER ALL THE HURDLES.
Anyway, i am going to melb now but i promise you here that i will take 100000x care about myself, for you! And i will enjoy it i assure you this too! I will show you alllll the photos okay? Oh, and we have the same smile, remember? ;) Dont bother checking flight tickets secretly! HAHA i know what are you on about. so... dont!
just few more months and i will go home. then ill stick with you again till you get sick of me. ill keep being happy and eat till you ask me to stop. ill keep fighting over the remote control till you use your 'i-am-your-dad-the-master-of-the-house' power. ill keep persuading you to buy whatever i want till you ask mama to stop me. ill keep stopping you from eating fatty oily stuff till you wish me having dinner with jia outside so you and mama can go have more durians and pisang goreng at home.
I am listening to this song, 'the best day' by taylor swift. It's written for her mom i think, but i am dedicating this song to you, and mummy =)
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine
And I didn’t know if you knew
So I’m takin’ this chance to say
I had the best day
With you, today
Thank you for making me the person i am today. I can not thank you enough for giving me the best life i could ever imagine. And you know, i have always loved you. And i love you, forever and always.
hugz hugz kisses kisses.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DAD.luv,
Sarah ;)
