Am I so worst till you are not dare to tell me this?
Am I so worst till you need such a long time to tell me this?
Am I so worst till you can't tell me something that you can tell them easily?
You had told me a lot today. I had heard a lot today. At a moment like this only I knew that what are you thinking. Is it so difficult to told me that? I don't understand. I know my reaction had frighten you, but same goes to me. Frankly, I felt dissapointed at that moment.Only 1 question is wandering in my mind: What am I actually meant to you?
You will asked my help or advice for anything, even only small thing like how to use washing machine. You like to ask my advice in your family problem and especially your relation problem. But today I realised, these were just those old sweet days...
You have your own reason while you choose not to tell me this. I knew that and I understand, no explanation require from you. I knew what you think and what you feel, you know why? Because I understand you more than you...
Remember the HCL message?Remember you hurt so much when I didn't tell you that I had passed my car test?Remember our promise?
My mind is so blur now, I don't want to continue this. I knew if i continue, I'll messed up everything I wanted to tell you.Still the same old requirement. Give me few more days, thank you...
Today I went shopping with my sister. While I pass by my dad’s office, we plan to fraud him for lunch. When I reach his office, he smiles so happily even though he saw a group of fraudster! Which are us. That’s him! My cute dad… Dad’s colleagues say:”Wow! How nice! All your daughters are grown up now!” ”Wow! Great for you! Your daughters are so beautiful!” Even those are courtesy, but they still made my dad so cheerful. “Happily ever after”, that’s what he looks like now. Added:” All my princesses are here! I have to knock from work now!” Dad’s expression makes me feel so sweet.
We went to Timesquare to have our lunch. After that, I dropped my dad back to office. We planned to go to Pavilion after that, and dad said he had a document needed to submit to main branch which situated near to Pavilion.
爸:“等我一下啦!很快的!
Dad:”Wait me for a while! Few minutes! Ok?”
好咯,皇帝爸都开声了,等他咯。
Ok, my honored dad had sound out, what can I do?
30分钟后。。。
After 30 minutes…
终于从公司出来了。
He was out from office finally.
我:“爸!很久咯!又讲一下而已!现在去Pavilion很塞车啦!”
Me:”Dad! You had taken so long time! You told me a moment right? This time now went to Pavilion will be extremely jam!”
手忙脚乱的爸:“咦!这个还没有photocopy!等我一下啊!很快的!”
Dad that was running around in circles:”Oh! I haven’t photocopied this document! A moment please! I’ll be quick!”
又下车了。。。根本没在听啦!@#$%^&*
Rushed away again…He was not paying attention! @#$%^&*
10分钟后。。。
After 10 minutes…
爸:“我要驾!你驾车很慢的!”
Dad:”Let me drive! Your speed is slow!”
好咯!让他驾咯!
Ok! Ok! Go ahead!
一路上去着Pavilion,我们3姐妹都一直在笑爸爸。打错signal啦,镜子搅不下来啦,wiper不会开啦。。小妹就说:“爸爸驾惯 ben si 不会驾cheap cheap的saga 的啦!”在我还来不及骂小妹诋毁我的宝贝女儿 pooh saga时,爸就说:“做么驾不惯哦?我以前也是驾saga的,那时候的logo还是星星月亮的咧!”接下来的一番话,我真的觉得爸爸很棒。。。
On the way heading to Pavilion, 3 of us kept giggled at dad’s back. Wrong signaling, unable to roll down the mirror, unable to on the wiper etc. Ni said:” Dad used to Benz, he will not suit to saga which is cheap like this…” Before I scold her for criticizing my baby pooh saga, dad responded:”Who said that I can’t use to it? I drove saga last time, the logo for proton that time was still a star and a moon!” The conversation below really made me respect my great dad…
“那时候没有钱买车,怎么办?做工,去site,还是什么都要用车。买二手车啦!二手saga 5000块而已。买了哦,开始驾驾下冷气出白烟还以为是冷气很冷,还吹到很爽。结果热到要死才知道原来水滚了!吓死我啊!那辆车啊,塞车的时候哦。塞塞下也会水滚的,每次就停在路边然后等它冷咯。别的车就honk到要死咯!在那边骂什么烂车咯!车尾厢还要放一支支大大罐的水,不是拿来喝的啊!是给它水滚了啊,冷下来了装的啊。有一次车给lori撞到旁边镜子破掉拿plastic包住咯。前面镜撞到歪了有洞,下雨会漏水。没关系啦,车底砖2个洞给水流下去啦。然后买那种胶水粘咯,久了胶水会硬的嘛。有什么办法?没有钱修车。那时候啊!哼!没有钱打油怎么办?5块钱也打啦!那时候打油不是现在这样的嘛。你给那个人钱然后他再打的,每次打他就讲har! lima ringgit sahaja ah?!怎样?没有钱。有时候两块钱都打啊!”
“No money for car that period, what to do? Went for work la, site or what ah, a car is a must. Buy second hand la! After bought it, while driving ah, air cond give out puffs of white smoke. I thought that the air cond is cold enough. I still enjoy it and very happy. At last when it went hotter and hotter only I realized it’s the engine water boiled up! I really got a shocked! That car ah, when traffic jam ah, the water will boil too. In the middle of jam, every time has to stop at the roadside and wait for it to cool down lo. Other cars will honk as loud as they can lo! Complaining what an old, useless car lo! In my boot ah, there are a large amount of water in a lot of big containers, not for drinking ah! Is for after the boiled engine water cool down and refill one ah! You know ah, got once my car banged by a truck and the left side mirror gone already, how? Use plastic wrapped it lo. After accident, front mirror have a hole, when raining, rain water will flow in. Never mind la! Buy the glue and sealed it up la, after some time, the glue will harden one ma! Or else what to do? No money to repair. At that time ah! Heng! No money to refuel how? 5 ringgit also refuels la! At that time petrol station is not the same like now. You pay to the worker and he refuel for you want ma. Every time when paying, then he will said:” har! Lima ringgit sahaja ah?! How? No money. Sometimes 2 ringgit also needed to refuel ah!”
就是这一段话。就是这一段很普通的往事只能回味的话。爸爸说的时候的语气,有一种苦尽甘来的感觉。爸爸的风光史,我们3个女儿知道的不多。他也很少特意说出来,可是从这种小事就知道爸爸是很棒的。Form 5没有毕业,KL没有投靠,家境不宽裕的情况下,他还是有办法闯出自己的一片天。因为他幸运吗?可能吧。可是他的努力,我们看到吗?爸爸也挨过,还挨了不少。从一个Sungkai kampung 出身的爸爸,在30岁买了人生第一辆宾士,有什么秘诀吗?爸爸不会交际,不会说话,不会奉承,不会吹捧。他会的是什么?老实说,我也不知道。可是爸爸可以到今时今日的风光就是他的能力的最好证明了。
Ya, just like that. Just to recall the pass. But while dad was telling us his story, his tone sound calm. He had passed those sorrow days. Dad’s prestigious, we don’t know much about it. He will never tell it, only by chance when we heard something like this about him, we will know that he is great. Doesn’t graduate from form 5, no dependent in KL, tight family economy... Under all these circumstances, he is still able to explore until he own himself a piece of triumph. Is he lucky? Maybe. But his effort, did we saw it? Dad had go through obstacles, a lot of obstacles. He was born in a small village, he rewarded himself his 1st Benz at age 30, are there any secret tips? Dad is not good in communicating, not in talking, not in flattered. So what he is good in? As a daughter, honest speaking, I don’t know. But he does success doesn’t he? That’s the best prove of his ability.
I don’t really like dad when I’m small, I’m not paying respect to him too. Because he will grumbled a lot whenever he saw you! Have you bathed? Have you finished your homework? And etc. This is annoying me. I am not afraid of him neither, I always felt that he is not as majestic as mum. But slowly when I grew up, I realized that compared with afraid or respect, it’s better for me to honor him. Dad always get scold by mum, is this because he is useless or he is a coward? Absolutely no! Mum says:” Try to think about it. Can I defeat your dad? If we really fight, do you think your dad will lose? If his chance of winning is high, why doesn’t he retaliate? Because…Dad is a gentleman.” No doubt, this is what mum told me. This is the true voice from a woman who loves and faces dad a lot. Yes, dad is a gentleman. Man who use violence on woman is those who do nothing success, those who has no expertise, those who has no ability. So, by hitting woman, they think they can prove that there’re male hormones in their blood stream! As a conclusion: They’re crap! Dad has ability, so when his women released temper on him, he just take it easy. He feel that this is the way he loves her, he protects her.
Occasionally, dad will blurb out some ironic sentences that made you unable to respond. Moreover, he is different from the traditional dad. He is coquetry, he likes to follow when we went shopping. He treasured his daughters, wife and daughters are his darlings. Dad is not tyranny. Dad will never show his airs. His ITS OK character makes me easier to approach him. He is a dad, he likes to cook. He is a dad, he enjoy praised of his cooking skill from daughter and wife. He is such a dad. Until now, when he sees you, he will still says:”Have you bathed? You are extremely smelly now but you are still playing games there?!” Whenever he says that, I’ll rush to him, kiss him and enjoy the way he is rubbing his face, grumbling loudly and smiling secretly. Because he is such a dad.
I am lucky that he is not my dad but he can be my dad. I really wished to announce to the whole world: My dad is great! My dad is cute! And! He is MY DAD!
爸爸,歹势啦!说到可爱,我只想到这张照片。。。
Sorry dad, when CUTE is mentioned, my mind only have this photo…
