WARNING: This is highly exaggerated. haha! My dad isn't as emo as i described, it's only because i compare him with my mom and my mom is the epitome of happiness haha!
I love both my dad and my mom. Very very very much! They are both nice and wonderful and awesome in all the many many different ways. And i love them for who they are and who they've made me into. But sometimes i have to admit that i'm much closer to my mom than to my dad. I share all the silly, sad, stressful and happy moments with my mom. I'd be talking to her every single moment, from clothes to tv, from studies to periods and from girlfriends to boyfriends. Maybe it's a girl thing or maybe it's because i get to spend more time with my mom. But i guess the main reason why is because my mom is a much livelier and jollier person as compared to my dad.
My mom and dad are so different in so many many ways it's really touching to know how they fell in love with each other, how they learn to live and grow old with each other, and how they both teach me and my brother the many valuable life skills and nurture us to understand all the meaningful way of life.
My mom talks alot, my dad seldom speaks.
My mom's language is chinese, and my dad's english. (I guess that's why i speak chinese more and my brother communicates in english more frequently)
My mom likes to tell jokes, my dad likes the more serious stuffs.
My mom likes to share all the random thoughts and stories, my dad hates details.
My mom loves melodramas, my dad prefers the monotonous sports programmes.
It's a different way on how they react to things too!
Sometimes when i really got so bored of studying i'll just flare up and say things like "i dun wan to study anymore" and you can guess the response of my parents.
My dad will say much serious things like if i dun study, i wun be able to get a good job and i'll have to settle for less in life and bla bla bla.
My mom will just tell me in a good hearted way "okay lo, next time find rich guy marry got time dun forget to go bring me eat nice food"
There's also the times when i leave my dad or my mom alone at home to go out and play. When it's my dad, i feel guilty everytime i leave the house and know that he'll be alone at home the whole day. I know my dad doesn't like to be left alone at home, neither does my mom. And that's why i feel so bad everytime when i have to forsake them to go have fun. I felt so selfish and mean. But when it's my mom, it's different. I felt more carefree. I suppose that's because i know my mom will either be contentedly watching her drama or happily chit-chatting with my aunts whom she will invite home.
I guess my dad and mom are pretty compatible with each other this way. My mom needs my dad to have a more realistic point of view in life and my dad needs my mom to keep him on the brighter side.
It's also because of this difference that makes me who i am. I learnt how to think on the bright side of things no matter how sad or hopeless the matter may be. I also come to understand and appreciate what are the stuffs that are good for me and that studying is one of them haha! I learnt how to come to terms with all the bullshits and how to make decisions for myself.
All the many nice things in life, i owe them to my parents.
I love them so much, more than anything else in the world.
