Thanks Dad for ur timely help! U r the best!

Arigato Pa..Thanks alot Dad for your timely help.. You r the best man!..
You Save my day! Esp when I am so shorthanded and actually been nursing an old knee injury relapse since that fall, all alone in the wilderness.. thanks to my misjudgement and some so-called frenz's insenstivity.. Wat to do .. No $, no talk.. Aint paying much other than transport cost and occasional meals..How high can my expectation be of such foc help.. REality of life...( As I am bloggin about it now, I recall how disappointed I was with this someone.. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Seriously, I doubt that then.. At that very moment, I knew no matter what I would never leave mya so-called friend alone in such situation.. I have wised up..
Thanks to dad, I manage to complete much work for the day.. Xie Xie! Really appreciate your help!
Imagine roughing it out with your gurung daughter in the wilderness for her fyp on a wet, cosy Sunday morning when you could be happily in dreamland still hibernating or even enjoying ur Sunday with a cuppa of hot beverage, reading newspapers without rushing off for work..
Impressive, issit ? Or at least to me, not all daddies in the world will do such a thing..to be bothered..or perhaps cos I am very stressed up over my fyp and I must graduate by next year as I am under an education bond currently.. Watever, the reasons may be, I am honestly touched by my dad's help. Though he is a man of few words whenever you approach him for advice, but he is certainly a loving dad who shows more through his actions.

Your actions speak louder than words indeed! I am touched and I promise u , dad tat I will start afresh, get myself up and going again to building a better future for myself and the family. I will do my best to lead by example to Gracie tat Life is tough, yes. with its many learning curves.. disappointments, hurts, stress, expectations etc.but with tenacity and patience, we and the familiy can tide through the tough times...

Looking back now, this is the first time in the past 5 years that I have had an enjoyable bonding session with my retiring dad.. As peculiar or unique as I can be, such a session which most reckon it to be a chat over coffee, catching a movie or even just a meal together, as peculiar as I can be in person, our bonding session turned out to be a wild Wild Wet day of fun and sweat in the cosy "backyard" of our dear Mother Nature.. Haha.. sounds so exotic ,issit..my frenzs? Just another similiar case of a cleaner auntie calling her an environment maintenance officer.. Get my hint?
Wanna make a guess, anyone?
...
... No prize though, but of cos u ve the sense of "winning"
haha.more of giving an intelligent guess.

...
... Here comes the mystery location and our bonding activity...
So it was actually ...... finding fun out of work.. Sad but true.. working on my fyp even on a cosy wet Sunday.. ( hint hint, so understand why i said wild wild wet rite? Indeed, been a wet session esp when we were caught in the rain... )Thank god, my dad with his qigong skills can " tide through" such "stormy" condition.. Haha.. his generally good health is a plus lah, though kind of high in cholestrol n oops..abit of stout, old man liao..

As for the venue, it is the hightest point of SG.. our famous scenic hilll of greenery in close proximity to city...BTNR... Mother Nature's "backyard, dun you agree,in some sense..

All in all,
I am still a true blue Daddy's Girl.. Hmm..shall work towards my long-term goal of betterment for family.. Esp in 4 years time when Dad is retiring..Ganbattne..

The inner voice in me... Pls wake Me up When this SEpt comes to an end...
Embrace the Change and Show the True blue spirit of survival and strength in U!

So poetic about the truth of changes in life.. the inevitability around us every single day...

Eventually, I come to embrace the major change in my life... coming to accept with the harsh cold fact.. Wasting away precious time..The pointless waiting.. All in the name of character building? Nah.. i have been self-denying for the past mths... Oh god knows since when.. But at last..at last.. I have arrived.. to a wiser me.. So the voice in me..Please Wake me up when this Sept ends...

Change- Getting to know about Ebb and Flow

By Laura Greene (1981)

Change is a part of life,

It is a step from here to there.

The size or shape of a thing may change.

The feeling or location of a thing may change.

Change may be fast or slow, good or bad.

Change may make me happier or sadder,

Richer or poorer, but change is a part of life

All things in nature change.

Things change with time.

Time brings slow change.

In time seeds grow, and become plants

More time passes and the plants become flowers.

Time continues to pass

And the flowers

Fade,

Die

And finally return to Earth.

Seasons change.

When the air is warm, the leaves are green.

When the air turns cold, the leaves turn color.

The sun makes the difference.

Shadows change.

In the morning, my shadow is long and skinny.

At midday my shadow is short and fat.

Light makes the difference.

Sounds change.

Sometimes the air is so quiet, I can hear a bird fly.

Sometimes the air is so noisy, I can’t hear a bird sing.

Wind makes the difference.

Things change because of incidents.

The accident may be little.

I had a full glass of milk.

In a moment the glass was empty.

My elbow made the difference.

The accident may be big.

Yesterday there was a white house on the corner.

Today it’s gone.

A fire made the difference.

People change too.

They change on the outside….

My skin changes.

When I was a baby, my skin was red and wrinkled.

Now my skin is smooth.

When I grow older, I’ll be wrinkled again.

My height changes

When my jeans were new, they were much too long.

Now they’re old and much too short.

Growing makes the difference……

And people change on the inside.

Feelings change.

I used to be afraid to go to school.

But now I’m not, in fact, I like it.

Learning makes the difference.

Moods change.

It’s fun to be alone in my room and pretend to do great deeds.

But if I’m alone at night, and there are scary

Shadows, it’s not fun any more.

The dark makes the difference.

Tastes change

Tuna fish sandwiches used to be my favourite lunch.

But now I like macaroni and cheese better.

I don’t know what made the difference.

People cause change.

We change each other……

When I moved away, my friend Jenny was sad.

She missed me.

But now we’re pen pals, and she’s happy.

Friendship made the difference.

We change the land.

I can make the land more beautiful by planting a tree or I can ruin the land by being careless.

All of us make the difference.

People change themselves

If I want to, I can work hard and learn to do things better.

If I don’t want to try new things, I’ll stay the same

I make the difference.

Life around us is always changing.

Change is part of life.

Sometimes I like the change.

Sometimes I don’t

But everything changes

Even me!

Happy Teachers' Day folks!!!
