This saturday will be my Dad's birthday. I just heard news from my mum that we will be celebrating his birthday this sat with a birthday cake. It came as somewhat a shock to me though. I tried recalling but it seems that i have no memory of celebrating my dad's birthday with a birthday cake and birthday song.
I was then led to think that we are the typical asian chinese, conservatively showing love in the most reserved way (emphasied version). Well, plus the fact that you could come up with a brilliant script based on my family history. Part dramatic, part chaotic, part complicated yet with sweet memories of childhood.
So, it's going to be somewhat awkard and somewhat good. I don't know what to expect but i thank God that somehow, it seems that slowly, the air at home is buzzling.
A couple of months back, i did something which i never thought i dare do. So on the pretense of a photo competition, armed with my mum's brilliant idea, i broke some personal barrier. I actually directed a shoot with my mum and dad. It's quite a unique experience. I really didn't even dare ask my dad about it. I had to ask my mum to go talk to my dad. Then, brought them out and took photos of them.
Below is the photo i submitted for the Great Eastern "Life is great" photo competition 2007. Although i didn't win any monetary prize, i felt, i've won still. I defeated one giant on the inside of me.
Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, Yeah
I look out at the clouds gathering outside the window, its' forms ever changing never ceasing to amaze. i thought about the Maker, marvelling at His creativity, overwhelmed at the beauty, not of the scenery but instead, the thought of you in the midst of such a beautiful day.

We had a laugh. I didn't managed to take the other book that had thaksin on the cover with the title "where are you,now?" Right underneath that book, it's thaksin's daughter.
I think this is the sample piece of the king's throne at the airport. Noone's home though
Our last meal in thailand
We almost missed our flight! We were the last 2 group to board the plane. After us, there's one more person and that's it. And, how we know it's definitely the flight to singapore because when the last person got on, there were people boo-ing. haha. Typical singaporeans.
