Important people
We needn't be around each other every second.
The memory that serves of you will be there to remind me of the times.
The times include the advice, the golden moments, the valued lessons.
We, we need to walk a different path.
Each different path would bring us different times.
In the end, you would still be the one who knows me well.
You wouldn't need questions for my answers.
Every time, when we meet, we seem to be older.
Lesser the laughters, more the smiles.
I may get sick of home,
but there's a saying "Home is where the heart is"
To the world, we may be ugly before,
But only we know, what the world is missing.
Now that we are beautiful,
We know what's missing.
It's always true, you'll never miss home until you do.

My Dad.
I just came back from Malaysia. I actually went there to celebrate my grandparents' birthday. Anyway, this post is about my Dad. My Dad has been a huge part of what i am today, good or bad, its up to you to judge.
Anyway, my dad actually brought his girlfriend home to the family. He brought them over to the family dinner
I liked how he drive his car at 210km/h and how the passengers in the car could sleep peacefully without a care.
I liked how he walloped me with the belt every time i lost my little baby temper.
I liked how he race on the highway, how he races his car.
I liked how he singed "Living Next Door To Alice" and he rocked the whole house.
I liked how to he dared to bring his girlfriend home with my grandparents' previous objection.
I liked how charismatic he is speaking with such confidence.
I liked how he dared to come to Singapore from a humble little town to search for a better living, a better life
I am glad you thought me to have the strength to believe but never once you forced a certain belief in me. I'm happy that you treat me like an adult, giving me this form of respect. You showed me your values thru your actions and not teachings. You didn't lecture, you act.
You once said that you had to leave and i would understand someday. I thought what you said was just bullshit and that you just didn't know how to explain it or know is there even an explanation.
I think i finally knew enough to understand why you had to leave. Whatever doesn't kills me makes me stronger anyway. I guess those dark painful days are over, now we both have our separate lives to live.
I'll always be thankful for the values you instilled within me, even with the short years we've spent together, I'm sure those values are enough to last me this lifetime.
You may be short physically, but you are always one man i'll look up to. I am grateful you are my dad.
There's always a part of you that lives in me.
And I thank you for that.
I'll always love that modest little town that grandma and grandpa stays in.
