tribute to my dad....

My dad is a fashion critique
He doesn't like me wearing any tight, girly stuff. He thinks an architect should wear a tartan flanel long sleeve shirt and baggy trousers with lot of pockets. The only thing he agreed with me is my converse shoes.

My dad and his car
He follows music trends and listens to Jason Mraz and Maroon Five. Jump in his car, always find some new hip cds... "Can i make a copy of this daadddd....."

My dad and Kungfu Series
For as long as i remembered, he always watched kungfu series... My niece got called "Princess Cheung Ping" by him

My dad is a musician...
He played guitar quite well. He impressed my mom before they got married, by singing in an american community band.... It was Speedy Gonzales, which afterward he sings it to his children couple timess.......I can easily picture him sing the " laa... lala lala lalalala......". He has terrific voice, Randy Jackson might told " Wow... man, you truly can sing... yow yow yow..." . I love doing karaoke with him.... Our favourite duet is Thousand Miles.... I still got the record, papss

My dad is cool
My 68 dad still wears adidas shoes and jeans to the office. He's into fashion alot... Could spend hours finding the pants, ties and shirt he wanted... His favorite, beige short pants and Hanes tshirt

My dad always smells good....
never go out without his favourite parfume. Even when he went to wet market... You can smell him like in 20 meter radius.

My dad is a great chef
He's an expert in making superduperdelicious spaghetti, well-known among his daughter's friends... His Ikan teri Fried Rice also makes me miss to come back home... Often find him making us Fish Ball Noodle in the morning..... "Paa... mau sarden pake tomat yang banyakk"

My dad is a big narcist
Just right on the garage, you'll find different pose of him hanging on the wall. He wore sunglasses, he without sun glasses, he's smiling... he is not.... he wore hat, he lifted the hat, T_T puh leez, now i know where i get the things from...

My dad rarely uses public transport..
Two years ago he insisted to go to Pasar Senen to buy me Char Siu using Metromini. We were worried like crazy..... He stated in mind.... that "When you go down from the bus must start with ur right leg, and when you up using your left leg..... ". That was the theory !!! When he came home, he said that (well okay) he got confused and ended using both legs,,,, that was really funny imagining him jumped out from the bus.

My dad and his six daughters.....
When we were little, twice a year he took us on vacation.... all six of us. When we grow older, we still are his babies. Never in a second he doesn't think about us.... always keep in touch, always sending mail, always phone you at the right moment when you feel down. Being surrounded by girls, makes him a very sensitive dad... (yeah pap, i think u're not born with it) , he easily cries...

My dad is Opung Kumis
He got 7 grandchildren. He and my mom often show up infront of my sister house without warning. Playing with the boys, making fun of the girls, all the grandies love love him.

My dad loves going out
Take him out for dinner and you never feel sorry to see how big his smile enjoying a big bowl of Vietnamese Noodle. We often watch film together, buy big pack of popcorn with extra butter and cups of pepsi, purrfecto.

My dad loves my mom....
He always comes home for lunch and adores all my mom's cook. Recently he phoned me that he'd like to make a web site to sell her chocolate cookies, to spread the world how good the cookies are..... We'll support u paps.....

My dad and his hair
...never touched barber shop, his hair always maintains by my mom. Specialty, he, sat on our backyard with that green plastic chair, old newspaper on the floor, and my mom wore that handgloves, and steel scissor and she started cutting and painting his hair..... "mbaak, masak air panas buat bapak.. "

My dad is the best advisor...
Year ago he told me the secret that he said only me knew about working social....
How he got the opportunity, how he achieved things..... how to get up... Well done carnegie!

My dad is a golfer
He goes everywhere to play his favourite sport. When our house got robbed eight years ago, and the thief also took his callaway golf clubs... He was so sad.... He got the replacement right away, but not the brand that he wanted.... One day...dad, i'll send you callaway......

My dad and his ring...
It was 5 months ago he told me that he wanted me to get his alumni class ring from Texas University if the time comes.. No dad, you're going to live forever and the ring shall goes with you.....

My dad and me
He always prays with me every time i had to go back to Bintan... He said " God, please take care of my daughter..... in place that isolated as it was, please give her company, please sending her the right person, and the success on her work...." My dad always wants me back to Jakarta.. but he knows that this is a way...

The experience had changed me, he knows it.

Love you forever......

you always be the reason why i always want to go home
