Father's Day cum Dad's Birthday update



How was your Father's Day yesterday? I celebrated with my dad much earlier(together with my brother who's back from Penang). And yesterday my dad went back to hometown to celebrate with his father-in-law for Father's Day. My dad lost his dad(my grandpa passed away rather early) in his early teens. So he treasured and respected his fil a lot. 

I remembered how he mentioned a no. of times to plan our trip back to visit our grandparents (with kids on tow...which takes a bit of planning and grit determination to drive 4-5 hours back to Johor)..why takes so long? Cos half way have to stop to visit numerous relatives..(We FINALLY made the trip during 2009 CNY-see picture above, the one in army green pants sitting down is my dad and beside him in blue shirt is my grandpa).

Anyway, coming back to Father's Day and my dad...in my memory my dad is sort of a WAHF(Work at home father)  even when we were young. Being an electrician..he manage to work around his working time to fit in his schedule to drive us to school, sports activities and etc. I still remembered my dad used to pack very yummy lunch for me and sister when we had to stay back for sports practice.

Even though like all kids, I dislikes my dad to nag at me...but somehow I think it's his nagging that I will be missing most in future or even now when I am married and no longer seeing him on daily basis.

So, I like to take this opportuniy to wish my dad- Happy Father's Day & Happy Birthday. Thank you for all your sacrifices for us!
