My Papa; My Hero

My Papa is my hero since I was very young.
I wasn't very close to Papa until I was much older.
He works 7 days a week to bring home the bacon.
Because work took up alot of his time, we don't talk heart to heart. And also Papa being a traditional chinese man is quite reserve when come to expressing his love for us.

I remember on my 1st day to primary school, he brought me there.
He bought me a bowl noodle soup.On some very rare Sundays when he took off, he will take us to Marine Parade and we will spent the whole day @ the beach. Sometime over the weekend when he knocked off early, he would drive us to the neighbourhood park.

Papa expresses his love for us by working hard.
To me he's the best Papa. With one income, he provides us (my mom + 4 of us children) with a comfortable home, warm food & a car to bring us around.

Last Fri (13/1/06) our family doctor told us that Papa is a Hep B carrier. I could feel that Papa suddenly feels very small. It seems to me that he feel he has 'lost' his power to provide & protect his family. I could sense that he feel helpless & worry. He suddenly seems so fragile to me.

I tried not to let it affect me like it affected Momo. I'm trying to be very positive. Like what the doctor said, he's just a carrier. As long as he does his blood test yearly to monitor the condition, life should be pretty much normal.

Now as I'm putting down my thoughts on blog, I teared. I couldnt help it. Thinking back of the past of all the good memories w Papa, I'm scare of losing him.....

My NEW new year resolution: More time with my love ones!

New Year New Me

Zip Zap 1 month has quickly since I last blog.
Have I given up blogging?
No! I was simply too too busy!

Into the New Year, I have decided to have a major change in life in attitude.
I want a simpler life.
By that I mean get rid of things that are still useful yet I havent use it in the past 2-3 years.
In the past I used to hold on the stuff unwilling to let go fearing that I might need it someday.
Clothing that were too tight for me to fit in anymore, keeping it was for the hope one day, yeah maybe one day I would be back to the weight & size I used to be (haha dreaming).

So since after Christmas, Dami & I have been diligently giving away stuff. Throwing away those which cannot be recycle anymore. Or selling to Karung Kuni.

Spent the 2 holidays of this month clearing out all the rubbish.
Going to spend another 2 more weekends painting the house.

I'm looking forward to a brighter/cleaner house :)

I have learn: Less is More
This is my goal for the year!
