Dad's in town

10 days flew by and tomorrow my Dad will be leaving for Singapore. We decided to skip class tonight and went out with him for dinner. We brought him to Ciao Italia for pizza & pasta. My relationship with my Dad is not what you see on typical American TV, where the daughter and father have a close physical relationship. I don't recall giving my Dad a hug for the longest time until my wedding last year. It was the weirdest feeling but also a good feeling. Till this day, I am so thankful that my Dad is able to walk me down the aisle. I guess since I am the youngest child and the age gap between my brother and I is like 9 years, I have always feared that the day I get married either of my parents will not be there with me... I've always wished we could have more things to talk about and not be so uptight around each other, but I guess the way he shows his care and concern is different. He's been brought up in a typical conservative Chinese family and I guess he has brought the same values to my upbringing. This is when I find out that Oka has played a huge part in changing my outlook of life. So now I'm kinda in between the 2 ends if you know what I mean. But regardless, I am glad that he has come visit us and the most important thing is that he has enjoyed his short holiday. He probably needs the vacation and a break from all the dramas back home.
