Father's day!
Spent the day at grandpa's house "celebrating" father's day with the rest of the family. It was just a potluck lunch and then just slacked around the house till time to leave.
I bought a shirt for my dad cos i think shirt is the easiest to choose and i didn't have any others in mind. Anyway, i think my dad's real cool and here are the reasons why:
1) He's quite fat round the tummy area, so he's kinda like a big teddy bear, which is quite cute and very nice to bounce on. :D
2) He's a very nice person who doesn't get angry easily; very easy going.
3) He buys me many things (Yes, I'm spoilt. :D), sometimes without me even asking for them. Eg: He went to Indonesia and bought 5kg weights back for me and i didn't even mention anything about buying weights! He's quite random too! :)
4) He understands and uses modern gaming terms when talking like "LOL, IMBA/INBA(in battle alone), pwn/pawn, noob/newb, etc".
5) He can serve up a mean plate of chicken, among other things.
6) He can play Badminton, Tennis, Squash, Hockey, Cricket, Billiards and used to take part in competitions. When he was younger, he competed in Badminton, Tennis and Squash tournaments all in a single day, though the strokes are all slightly different.
7) I found out from his school certificate that he used to be in the Debate Society and Art Club when he was in secondary school and was the captain of the hockey team as well. That's real cool! :D
8) He sings along to My Chemical Romance when i play their songs in the car. He's those rare dads who listens to MCR! Hahaha
9) He makes really lame jokes about random things and rolls his eyes when i tell him something lame. :D
10)He will conspire with me to do stuff without the knowledge of my mum. Hahahaha shhh, don't tell her. Maybe "conspire" is too strong a word, let's just use "plan secretly". He understands that guys need to go do guys stuff. :P
11) He is very modern in thinking. Eg: He plays poker with me. People of the older generation would frown on this as they think it promotes gambling and worse still; the father playing with the son. I rather play normal 5 cards poker but he prefers "Texas Hold em" style and he taught me how to play "Russian" poker. Hahaha he's very good at bluffing and keeping a straight face while i can cheat easily at cards so the poker games can drag on for quite a while. We even played at Starbucks once. Anyway poker games are very good bonding sessions and we don't really bother about what people think when they see us playing poker.
12) He responds to "Pops", which is what i usually call him. Imagine a crowd and he's somewhere around. If i called out "Dad", it's quite hard to differentiate cos many fathers are around. However if i called out "Pops", i can easily get his attention.
13) Oh and he has a very cool name: Paul, which was derived from "Fong" by one of his friends. Basically he was playing squash with a guy and they both came out of the court very tired and breathless. So the guy was trying to comment about my dad's strokes and he pronounced "Fong" as "Paul" cos he was breathless. Try pronouncing "Fong" in a breathless and weak voice; you'd get Paul! :D
Yeps, so my dad's a very cool dude and i love him a lot! :D
