Cool February morning I must say. It has been raining for the past two days and as much as Chinese New Year is looming a-closer, with only five more days to go, the weather is still as unpromising as ever.
As we talk about Chinese New Year, yesterday's little dinner chat with my mum got me to realise that my dad.. is getting older. The tell-tale signs hit me for a bit. I know my dad won't always be the superman that he has been, but he will always be the "Super Dad" within us. And I know, I won't be young for too long, time to really work on my life, set it in line, think about future plans (although I always do that).
When my old man's retired, god forbids he becomes one of those cranky fellow retirees. He still has his lawn, his flowers, his carps and kois. He still has his family, wife, sons and daughter. He still has his friends and mahjong sessions, but only without a full-time job. It's only understandable that he becomes fidgety. I guess I'll just have to accompany him more at the mahjong table when the time comes. Haha!
