I love dad
It has been yet another bad day for me. Like hello, where have all the good days gone? Vacation or something? Anyway, I'm not here to whine. I'm here to share the little good that the day has brought. Thank God for dads...for the love they exude, for the humour they bring, whether intentionally or unknowingly.
My brother has a habit of rummaging through the kitchen and eating everything in his way. That includes an innocent box of Honey Stars which I've been eating sparingly but religiously every night...until three nights ago, I discovered that it was gone, as usual, into my bro's tummy. And as usual, I'll be grumbling about how he is such a pig. And as usual, my dad saves the day. Yesterday, he bought us not one, but two boxes of Honey Stars, well, not because he was trying to please both of us. He happened to see the 2nd box at Shop & Save for a cheaper price and ended up buying it out of annoyance for the more expensive box number 1.
There is a pasar malam across the road from my house. Since yesterday, I've been having a craving for a cup of corn. Over dinner, I mentioned it briefly. And when I came out of my bathroom after dinner, *ting*...there it is, a cup of warm buttered corn, waiting for me.
My parents have designated household duties. One of my dad's roles is to prepare breakfast for me every day. Today, I had bread and egg. Nothing unusual, except that when I took my first bite in the office, it tasted sweet. But nonetheless, nice. So when I got home, I casually commented that the egg was sweet today, and that's when my dad confessed that he accidentally added sugar in it...
Hmmm...See, my day isn't so bad after all. Ok, now back to my work. *double sigh*
