Happy 54th Birthday, Daddy !

It’s definitely one of my favourite pictures of us. From the 1+ year old baby-me guarded by your protective clutch to the grown up me, still guarded by your subtle protective clutch.

Daddy, thank you for teaching us never to be browbeaten but to continuously guard our self-respect no matter what.

Thank you for teaching us the distinction between good and bad, for teaching us to accept our mistakes and to fight for our rights if we had threaded the virtuous path.

Thank you for teaching us to face challenges as a family – by being there for each other and overcoming every obstacle by holding each others' hands and never leaving anyone behind.

Thank you for teaching me to be courageous and independent. It’s because of your words of wisdom that I can easily walk away from any backstabbers and chameleons without any fear of being overly reliant on them. Even if the entire world is against me, I have the courage to stand alone and face them all. The world is never fair and I know that I can handle it with a smile and it’s all because of you Dad, thank you.

21 years ago, when I was in Primary 1, I was chosen to represent my school for an essay writing competition and it was you who brought me to the venue. At that age, I never knew the significance of the competition or the fact that I was chosen to represent the school. There were a plethora of students there and I didn’t know anyone of them and I was so petrified by the unfamiliarity of the setting and the people. I know that I was on the lookout for you. Our eyes met after a while and that assurance that you were there by my side gave me the confidence to attempt the paper. Like I had mentioned, I never knew the significance of the competition but all I vividly remember and understand was the fact that throughout the 1-1.5 hours, you stood by the corridor of the hall amidst many other parents and watched me pen my thoughts on that fresh piece of paper. That pride on your face, that beam, that look of achievement is something that I can never forget in this lifetime. I know that I didn’t win that competition but on that day I knew that I won as a daughter.

From that day until now, it’s for that look that I have always been striving hard for. My journey definitely wasn’t smooth-sailing and I fell flat on my face and reached rock bottom many times (my close ones know exactly what I am talking about and I don’t wish to go into detail now). There were times where I really wanted to screw those shit and scream “I QUIT” and give up. But it’s for that look that I had always told myself to try that one more time, that one more time every single time just so that that one day I may overcome and conquer those obstacles. In short, it’s for you that I became a persevering fighter, Daddy. Thank you for pushing me to challenge my own limits and to firm up the belief to never give up without a tough fight.

You are a superhero who works hard to carve out a smile on our faces, a teacher who teaches with life lessons, a master who leads by words of wisdom and most importantly, been a good father who had all his life, inspired his daughter to be a better individual.

For you a thousand times over, any day, anytime. Love you my Daddy.
