This little starfish of mine :-)

I'm kinda sore... The $79.90 top that my darl bought for me as a surprise gift at 3rd month went 30% off. Man... Anyway, that's not the main topic.

This is the tribute part II. Haha..

I shall never forget the day when my words were fallen on deaf ears, in a positive light. It was a beautiful Monday morning, My starfish was not scheduled for work. It could have been really easy to sleep the morning away in order to catch up on his well-deserved rest (afterall, he deserves his rest cos he works till late on weekends).

On this particular sunday night, he slept later than usual, to whipped up a packet of fried bee hoon for my breakfast the next day. He struggled to keep himself busy till morning, so that he wouldn't fall asleep and miss my time to leave for work. Though he did sleep in the end, it was for a mere 1 hr plus. Upon waking up, it was time for him to head to serangoon north to pick his sea sponge for attachment.

I am that luckiest piece of sea sponge in the world !

After washing up in the toilet, my father found a tired but sweetest-looking starfish at our door step with a packet of fried been hoon he prepared himself. He had headed from home (in the east) to my home at 6am. And later all the way up west to send me to my attachment place. All the while beating the heavy morning traffic and fighting fatigue. He even made sure he was there for me (right beside his phone waiting for my call during lunch time) to hear about the all-anticipated & dreaded evaluation.

In so many occasions, he had touched me with his little gestures of thoughtfulness, that showed that I had been on his mind a lot more often that I know. Me, on the other hand, tend to be ignorant and negligent to his needs at times, that I unknowingly hurt him. I'm working on it though! By thinking of him more before I make decisions, by paying more attention to his feelings & needs & more aware of feelings of my own (there are times when I face mood swings w/o being aware of them, it hurts him, and that's sucky).

BANSAI-YO !
