Amazing Dad Part 2
The last time the amazing dad came into the picture he surprised me with a horrible meal..... Wondered how he can keep raising the bar for the most unhealthy and disgusting dishes in the whole of Yishun, Clementi and some say Sentosa......
From then on there was still the unhealthy dishes, the disgusting stuff and total lack of creativity on the dining table.........
We still talked minimally. Our relationship has never been very good.... No it is not bad. We are okay, but not so close like what other people have or like on TV.....
Different ideas. One born and bred in China, been through the war as a kid, been through ultra-hard times seen on Chu Lu while the other is completely modern Singaporean with the wide view on the world and a ultra-weak mind...
Maybe different, so cannot talk properly..... After all, he left us to go overseas to work for quite a number of years. 10 to be exact.....
Today he left for China. A relative has cancer and being the man who takes care of the family, he has to go back to see them......
Before he left, we had a short talk. Was rushing for lab session and he woke me up......
Asked me to talk to my sister for failing chinese.
Ask me if I wanted tea......
Ask me to collect our newspaper while he is not around
Ask me if I had money to spend.......
When I left the house, thought alot about my dad. For the first time since I was born, I actually stepped into his shoes and thought about his life.....
I probably be dead by now if I had to go through what he did....... Anybody who been through war wont have it easy anyway.... Shuttling between China and Singapore..... whenever you leave, you part with one side of your family...... Many many other tough stuff......
And recent years he never shows any emotions for what he goes through... Not when he is sad.... not when he is worried, not when he is angry.... but I still can roughly guess by the number of sticks of cigarettes he smokes
Then I was uncomfortable for the whole day.... for some reason......
The Amazing Dad is really amazing. Not just any Amazing dad. It is THE Amazing dad.
Since I was a kid, always have been quite emotional when he leaves for a foreign land...... Just surprised even now so as an adult.......
I guess he always got the ability to make me feel sad when he leaves for his real homeland.....
He is indeed amazing.
