love of a daughter's 1st man

daughters' first man in her life-father,dad,daddy,papa,lo dao,pa...

it's Fathers' day yesterday,i didn't know how to buy him presents,i just slipped RM 100 into his wallet when he had slept and when my mom went to bathroom.

in the afternon,mom:''i paid for everything,you should give me money.don't need to give him!..."
me:"you wait la,your birthday not yet......"

talk about my father,i call him 'papa',same as how my 2 sisters call him.he is a supervisor in a Kilang kicap named THYE WOH,where my Ho's family came from,a place where used to be a big community,where a few families stayed together and etc .my grandfather worked in the factory and after finish studying in Taiwan for some time,my dad succeeded the post.he is also a technician who is capable in repairing many many appliances!

dad and mom get married in 1987 then i came to the world the next year =)
i'm his first daughter,first precious 'pearl'(i suppose I AM!).when i was small,at young age,i went on to the roof of my house,of course i didn't climb the staircases la!my uncle brought me up and i sat there to see my dad repairing something.(ya,something and i have forgotten what was it!!)i had the photos,i hope i have a scanner and SHOW to you guys readers~

i have never kissed him nor said "I love You!" first of all,the factor is living in a conservative family where feelings are not shown in words and quarrels,argues happened a lot in my childhood.secondly,might be my reluctances to show it.

however,deep in my memories folder,i still remember that dad hugged me to sleep when i was a little girl,when amy has not born yet...how did it happen?haha...'cause i sneaked in between my mom and dad when i was supposed to sleep on the floor!

i have seen my friends who can simply plant a kiss on their fathers' cheeks or hug them or say "love you" over the phone~
somehow,i see it as a loss and i want to compensate it in the relationship with my bf/husband-my 2nd man in my life.it is not selfish.it's just a method of loving.(guess there'll be story continued on this statement.)

i don't know why,my family is very strict on me.you know,i still attending school in the morning when i got mumps,aged 12.after teachers finish teachings,i still need to attend school even though not much people attend.especially my dad.he insisted that i must go to school no matter what.looking at amy,after her PMR,she had started her holiday almost 3 weeks earlier!he never said anything.ya,besides amy has more fellowships with her buddies compared to my age time.i can never go to friends' house to play.actually i had more scoldings than amy and ai wen.even though i didn't finish my rice,i get scolded as well.i mean last time,not now la.too many things to be mentioned,so better keep it short!haha =D

talking about his capability,he knows a lot of things but because of his personality,his skills are not so well used in his career to make big success.he is able to repair washing machines,do wiring,creates a big racks in my house in the store room.he can replace a punctured type not more than 10 minutes,very fast!!!dad always do free wiring for church.he used to check the church outdoor huge Christmas tree's lights wiring to make sure that no leakage of electricity which can cause death.he used some planks and 4 wheels to make a little trolley for my mom's staffs to move heavy loads of plates in restaurant.initially they bent their waists and pushed for a distance.now they use the trolley.put the big basin on it,use a metal stick which has a hook at one end,then pull.

last time in secondary school,we need to pass up some electronic projects for marks.in Kemahiran Hidup,we were required to do some carpenter's job.do some racks with a few pieces of woods,'gosok' with the 'kertas pasir'......my dad did for me and amy.mine still preserved unchange until today.amy said her project is much durable than her friends one.some cant even lasts for half a year.my house has the back part as my dad's corner for all his gadgets and appliances.i didn't need to use 'kertas pasir' to 'gosok' the wood for a curve just like how my friends did for weeks.my dad use a little appliance,with a rounded,sharp,spinning 'stuff' to make curves on the sharp end of the wood!it's done within minutes!*laugh out loud in VICTORY*

me:''papa,here need to have 2 curves,teacher said one...my friends they use 'kertas pasir' to 'gosok'..."
he:"no time already...i do for you......"
(zzz...eeek...zzzzzz....eek eeek...)(machine's sound on the wood.)
then i had one!

besides,my electronic projects are very work.my dad taught me how to 'pateri' nicely so that the electric can go thru the board and makes the LED to lit!last time got a neighbour,she took the whole thing to ask my dad to 'pateri'.it was for exam1,not merely 10 marks

in my childhood,i was lost in a supermarket.it is still here in the town,named KEDAH supermarket.i went to play myself and hide myself in between the cozy dresses.then suddenly i found no one i familiar with.suddenly i saw someone squatted down at the staircase,opened his big arm for me to run towards!in my memory,it was my father.

when KFC launced a promotion for kids meal,my dad brought me to eat KFC.and then i got a set of lunch box.it was yellow colour.a box with a bottle and a food container inside.i used it to bring food to kindergarten!the next day,he bought a blue one for little amy,i remember!!!

the very first time i pray to God was for my father when he suddenly hospitalised for some illness which i am not sure,still.
"God,i don't wan to lose my father yet 'cause i dont want to be fatherless......"
that day,mom drove him to GH.dad was drove home from somewhere,he felt not well during working,he drove all the way back home......i was very very yound that time,probably 7/8 years old.not remember how old exactly.

he always talk about Taiwan.since small,he used to say,"last time,i...,i...,i...,here...,there...".i suppose he likes Taiwan and the food there.i ever wonder why i don't have a taiwanese mom.my ex has a taiwanese mom who cook good food!everytime he watches the Taiwan's shows which talk about their cultures and food/places,he would start his stories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!my uncle(his brother) would scold him,saying your time is 20+ years ago...blah,blah,blah...

hey peeps,be my witness here,when i have money,i'll sponsor dad to go Taiwan with mom.i know he wants to go there for another time in his life.i want mom to go 'cause i think she should know the place where my dad had been before in his youth.

there are a lot of little stories scene behind my family and my parents,and dad.
on the day i baptise,20th April of 2003,Easter Day,
to my pastor,dad:''...2nd generation..."
pastor:"good,good,good...there will be generations to come..."

**dad was the first believer baptised by Pastor Pang.and dad is the longest member in church Pastor Pang built.
(ivan&evan,my dad said pastor Pang founded True Light Baptist Church as well oh!!!!)

this is a small portable table made by dad for me when i first time take part in outdoor colouring contest!purposely for my colouring contest!i always sit higher than other kids,'cause my table is higher than their ABC's table.
so,envy??

his working corner,lots of rubbish,my mom said!


this is a toolbox he made himself for his BOSCH drill!i saw how he made it when i was small!

amy's KH project!still standing!!!!!!!!her teacher praised HER!(actually it's my dad who did everything la~)
