Nothing Beats Having Doting ParentsEver since I entered NTU and started staying in hostel, my mum would call me every other night just to check up on me, to make sure I was eating, studying, having enough sleep, bathed and did my homework. Then when I was in Canada, she would "ask" permission from my sister to call me and she made an effort to learn how to make long distance call from the international calling card even though she's an "IT Idiot", just to make sure I hadn't fell sick and was coping well with the life in Canada, and always asked me if I had enough money to spend. And I remembered once when she called me at 4pm in the afternoon (Canada time) just to ask if I was okie. It's Singapore time 3am and I asked her why wasn't she asleep? Her reply was "she just happened to wake up" but I knew in my heart she didn't sleep at all...
I realized I don't mention much about my Dad coz I don't talk "serious" stuff with him. Why? Coz he's the MAN of the house and left all the teachings to my mum to handle. But some incidents had happened throughout these years that made me respect him more and realized how much he dotes on me. One incident happened about 4 years ago when I was really really upset and was crying badly, my mum didn't know what to say to me but my dad? He came into the room, didn't say anything and throw me into his arms (or rather into his stomach) coz I was sitting down and he was standing up and hugged me and let me cry on him for a long long time... Yesterday night, he heard that I was hungry and insisted on going down to buy my favourite satay even though I tried to stop him many times and said that I could do with a cup of milk.
I know there might be parents who're more doting than mine but I'm glad my parents care and show their love for me in non-monetary terms. I see their love in the most intangible ways... =)
I wanna travel around the world to take beautiful photos.
