Him

See these photos. They were taken by him. He is so into photography. Unfortunately, he likes taking scenery pictures so I am not in most of his photos. Sad, eh? He's an engineer that I truly admire although he thinks his job is filled with shit, literally. There's this sky bridge he built many years back then. And I remember I used to walk across it in primary school. The feeling was just awesome as you get to walk above the cars and trucks and see the top part of every car that you normally cannot see. There's this atoms structure thingy that was his idea outside the petroleum museum at the top of the hill. 'Everything is made out of atoms'. That's what he said. Brilliant.

He got an honour degree in Melbourne. And now he got what he want. Well, sort of. Then, I was always blur and confused on maths. So he wondered why I did not inherit part of his brain. I still remember the 1 dollar trick. (or was it 3 dollar?..okay, I sort of remember) My point is, it's a pity that I really did not have his brain. Because that would be SO useful for me in Uni-.-.

He still has the old-fashioned mind. He thinks I, being an oversea student, shouldn't be so attached to home so he doesn't agree letting me go back home. Am kinda sad for the fact that my own dad doesn't let his girl go back. But deep down, I know and understand that it's for my own good... He has his reasons. He doesn't want me to go through the farewell process and experience the emoness of leaving home again. I know. I get it. I am fine with that. Like he said, I could invent my own recipes (provided that I learn not to spill anything or worse, burn down the kitchen first....), spend a day in the library reading books, travel around Adelaide alone in the coming holiday. So friends, no worries, I am fine with being alone when you guys are away. I must be independent. : ) That's what HE wants, right?

Oh, and being the typical asian daughter that is too shy to express, I did not dare to give him the gift I bought for him in last year's Father's day. Well..he always can't find a pen when he needs it. So, I bought a black pen for him. But I have no idea how it ended up in my pencil case here now-.-! I guess he can only receive it when he is WILLING to come here. And don't worry mum, I will always remind him about the passport thing. *wink*

The exam falls in the week of Father's day, if I am not mistaken. So, an early wish of Happy Father's day to him and every dad out there!

Happy Father's Day, dad.

p/s: Erm, dad, I'm not shaking my leg anymore ever since I come here. Well, maybe once in a while, the habit will still come around but I've improved. XD
