Pa :)

He has got the lamest sense-of-humour - its so utterly -_-"""""""""" . Its so not funny that its funny. Though he has his moments.

He is intelligent - He knows a whole lot and for someone with no engineering background he sure sounds like one- constantly seeing the practical and technical side of things. Well read in many areas. Though he cant teach economics to save his life ;ppp

He is Mr Fix-It - Takes it upon himself to fix things around the hse with mixed results :S haha but one of my fondest father-daughter bonding moments is when we fixed my cupboard hinge and dining table light- technical and electrical skills right there ppl!

He makes me feel smart :) - My dad likes to test me from time to time, and i am always surprised that i can answer most of the time, its like "hey i didnt know i knew that". Plus, if he doesnt know something he always asks me, assuming that i know the answer. *stress-nya*

He is the household 'mind-your-grammar' english teacher - Much to his chagrin we still continue to speak in Manglish *grin*. My friends are always so surprised at how well he speaks english, with no malaysian accent to be heard . His attempts at manglish however (trying to be funny no doubt), is almost always met with confusion.

He cant speak proper 'bad english' ROTFL.

He is my horror movie kaki - we tried including the rest of the fam only for them to pay RM7.00 to stare at the back of their hands or hide behind the popcorn. My dad sets the standard when it comes to being able to stomache horror and gore. So if he says its good, its good. Im STILL sore that you watched Nang-nak without me pa *blek*

He is THE spoiler king - If he's seen a movie i have not, i shut him off before he can ruin it for me *hmph* Its a battle of volume and usually consists of me shouting "STOP", "SHUT UP","KEEP QUIET" or "ENOUGH LA, PA!" in vain attempt to drown out his big mouth. If all else fails i cover my ears and belt some crazy tune. He doesnt do it on purpose of course but he just likes to explain things with a tad too much detail and doesnt realise when he's given the twist away.

which brings us to his next trait:

He is the mayor of cheong hei town (and i say that lovingly *blink**blink*)- So dont blame me, its genetic. huahuahua. (its ironic that this is the shortest verse in the whole post)

He is my sparing partner - most of the time its boxing. Nothing technical, more like blindly throwing your weight around(on my part anyway).heh. Of course he's faster, stronger and more accurate- so me and my siblings gang up on him, to which he so conveniently cries "parental abuse". HAH! monkey see monkey do.

He is a health buff - he's more toned and healthy than me! *paiseh* hey, im young! i can afford to be a lump of lard. im definately gonna get a nagging. but its fun when im halfway to my deathbed after a workout session at the park and there is still an uphill climb to our house, i can hold onto my dad and he'll pull me uphill.

He is a new-age man - He uses my facial wash! even i dont use my facial wash. One good thing: he's got no qualms when buying sanitary pads. heehee

He is my Burger Ramlee flunkee - Pa, get me a burger ramlee! and off he goes- this is only when he's craving for it too -_-"

He is a champion debater - when it comes to debating, me: superman; dad: krptonite. So, dont. Even. Start.

He is adventerous - He likes to think himself an action man. Err.. Always wanting to challenge me at basketball or rock-climbing, never did get around to it though haha. But when it comes to FOOD, anything goes. If there any leftovers in the fridge after dinner no one wants the maggi mee he cooks for supper cos it becomes a disgusting concoction of sorts. MY DAD WILL EAT ANYTHING. Luckily im more like my dad in this department than my mom-typical chinaman tastebuds keke.

He has got cakar ayam handwriting - Terrible. He cant even read his own writing sometimes *paiseh* hahaha. Sigh, i miss teasing him about it tho.

I miss my dad dearly. :(

In my 21 years of life my dad has tried his best to be a good father and looking at me id say he's done a pretty darn good job, dont you? hahahaha

fine, fine.

In all seriousness, although my dad has his faults(who doesnt?) but i believe he's done his best to be a good, responsible and kind dad. Omg that sounded so cliche- but only because its the truth :)

Love ya PA.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY.

its the one day of the year where you can say mushy, cringe-worthy things and get away with it. haha
