Happy Birthday, Daddy

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

We never really did celebrate your birthday as you always said you don't want any celebrations. But you were quite funny about it one time when we didn't actually bothered to do anything and you complained.

You should be forty-nine years old now. Just one more year to go before you reach your mid-life crisis. It has been a hard time for all of us. Especially for mummy and the two of us. And to top it up, it was the night before my birthday. Not that you could could chose when.

The picture above was taken in year 2006 when we took En out to her sort of birthday dinner. It was after that that you claimed she became closer to you because you showed her what fine dining was. Everybody was scoffing at that idea nevertheless there was some truth there.
That was all two years ago. Time seems to pass by so fast.
That was during my birthday in 2006. My first summer back home. It is the earliest 'family potrait' that I've got. Life in New Zealand has been the same old same old. Trying very hard to keep with my studies and trying not very hard to lose some weight.Do you know that En did actually wore the dress that you bought for her? I know we said she didn't and you were quite upset. Haha. I do hope that now you know she did wear it.

I wonder how much has PJ changed in this six months. Not too much I hope. I do pray that you are all right where ever you are.

Your sincerely,
Your daughter
