Today was a great day, or should i say yesterday. Ok, i meant Monday.

The feeling of completing all assignments and due-d work is indeed satisfactory. Though this feeling can’t really last me long, because its a whole new day again the next day. Workloads just keeps on piling and we’ve just got to keep working and working and working.

I’ve finally completed my Geography Essays, which was like.. i can’t really remember how many i wrote. Probably 62 billion.

Sleep less, work more. That’s the quote and principle to follow.

Thats the reason why i’m suffering from the out surge of liquid from my nose now. Its terrible.

Alright enough about myself, as seen in my entry title, i’m going to dedicate this entry to my father.
-

My father, is a unique man. Unlike others, who’s father has a occupation of 9 to 5, mine don’t. My dad’s office is the ship. His office is located at the vast great ocean. Half the time of the year, i don’t really get to see him. It’s been like that since i was young, nothing special about that. When others raves about having their dads who went on work trips for days and weeks.

I’d smile and tell them that mine go for months.

Well, you might think that i would have a rather cold relationship with him, but the fact is not. It’s just that the feeling of life having a dad by the phone receiver have been numbed over the years. I know that he still cares, i know that he’s still concern. Otherwise i’ll be even nullified from a phone call.I’m definitely still grateful for what he has done. Its his job and occupation. He’s bringing back the bacon, so that me and my family can enjoy good life. We can’t blame him for that. Though the distance, i could sense that the care and concern is still there.

There has been this intriguing incident that happened eons ago that has resurfaced in my mind.

When i was in primary one, my teacher organised a class excursion trip to the Zoo. They were looking for Parent Volunteer to accompany my class to the Zoo, in my dismay, my dad agreed to be one. It so happened that during the period of time he was available in Singapore.

Initially, i was quite disappointed about it. I mean, it’s supposed to be a class excursion. I want to be wild and be the mischievous daryl that i’ve always been. With him around, my actions would definitely be restrained. Not to also mention that he can talk to my teachers about my work and behavior in class. Shucks, it was such a terrible feeling!

However, when the day came, i realized that it was totally different from what i’ve thought.

I was so glad that he had went on the trip.
On the material side, i got to purchase a book/magazine about the zoo. I think only a few of my classmates managed to get it.

The Reason: It cost 5 bucks.

It’s primary one, where students carried 50cents a day to school. 5 whole dollars then was a great deal. Not to mention those really Richie rich ones.

On the not so material side. It’s probably the first time that i could feel the kind of care that he extends to me. Not saying that he had showered none in the first 5 years of my life, probably i was then too young to understand. But its just the feeling which till now i’ll not forget.

I appreciate him for what he has done for me, for my family. Which i don’t think i could ever repay in this lifetime. The only thing i could do now is to study hard and well and not fail his expectations.

The man full of righteous,
also not null of humorous.
This great man indeed,
is my father i admit.

Working in the vast seas for months.
Returning, he enjoys the fun with us.
However the concern he showers,
never ceases.

For the hairs that grayed,
the body that have aged.
I know the love for us never fades.
