Its my Dads birthday today and we're all going to vivo city to watch a movie to celebrate it. My dad was complaining that it was the utmost saddest way to celebrate his birthday but upon hearing that im paying for the movie tickets, he suddenly decided that perhaps the idea isnt too bad. HAHA. Kiam-kanna.

So, as its my dads birthday, its appropriate that i should dedicate this blog entry to him.

What i love about my dad:
1)The fact that he stays up with me on the nights i cannot sleep, despite himself being sleepy.
2)The fact that he never fails to provide a listening ear.
3)The fact that he knows how to shape my character into a more discerning one.
4)The fact that he allows me my freedom but knows when to limit it.
5)The fact that despite being one of the top students in LSE, he would stoop himself down to my level of, basically, thought unprovoking questions.
6)The fact that he never fails to make my friends at home although he wants his peace.
7)The fact that he is such a cheapskate. And yet, ensures the best possible treatment for my mom.
8)The fact that he does the most silliest antics to make me laugh. This includes the rooster dance at Suntec City.
9)The fact that he tells me who my real friends are.
10)The fact that he would help me no matter what.

My dads weirdest/humourous habits
1)In order to sleep or think about some project, he has to roll the string of his bolster into a nice neat ball.
2)He thinks hes as handsome as Bae Yong Jun. Or maybe even better
3)He refuses to switch from a size XXL to an XL complaining that itll be too tight.
4)His laughter is so jolly that it makes everyone laugh
5)The way he plays games. From gambling to monopoly, he gets really into the mood.
6)The way he refused to let ryan win monopoly so as to prove his business credibility. the poor boy was only 12.
7)The way he only eats with his right hand. Using just a mere fork or spoon, he can actually eat a whole hamburger without holding it.
8)How he cannot walk around for more than 15 minutes.
9)How he would lock himself in the room for hours and hours so as to research on any random topic that comes to his mind.
10)How he analyses why are people now fatter than before.

The stuff that i would always remember most about my dad:
1)How he cried when telling me my mom had cancer.
2)How he carried me around disneyland despite his bad back.
3)How he kept every single letter and note ive written him since i was small in his safe
4)How he told me i looked like a vampire when i wanted to go out one night.
5)How everyone likes to be around him.
6)How he used to be such a party animal. As benji told me "One day lulu was at a disco for the first time and suddenly there was this bright light and words came out saying "WELCOME MR NG ENG SOON". She freaked out". This is the man who sits at home and watches BBC all day long. Whereby dinner time is his outing.
7)How he appeared at this club once when i was clubbing.
8)How picky he is when it comes to everything. Except food.
9)How he would get angry if we didnt choose the correct food for dinner. For example, if we chose Japanese when he felt like eating Hainanese pork chop, we're in for a stormy ride. Yet, he wont tell us.
10)How very nice he is to hug.

Though i would rather die, rather give away my entire life savings, fail promos, then to explicitly say that i love my dad, its true. I know he wont read this so im safe haah.
By the way, the picture of my dad with the tissue box was taken during the a monopoly game. See the tension.
