While my dad was building the desk, it kinda made me think when was the last time we spent time
together let alone being in the same room for more than 5 minutes.
If you’re
wondering well, he’s my dad and we live in the same house so you’re bound to be
in the same room. Actually, my day consist of me hibernating in my room in
front of my computer and only coming out to find food in the kitchen (my mum
always says that I'm brooding like a chicken --") While my dad’s day is basically watching TV in
his room, Facebooking on the iPad or putting together those Gundam model
thingys. I guess you can say our paths never really meet unless it’s during
dinner time or when going out along with my other family members.

So while we
were hammering our way through this desk (not literally hammering the desk but
like working our way through it), it felt like we were putting together pieces
of my past memories that I’ve had with my dad. There were times where it fit
perfectly and things were just right but there were also times when things weren’t
quite right and it needed a bit of effort to fix.
I’m not
saying my relationship with my dad is bad or anything but I have to say that my
dad has gotten a lot more wrinkles and white hair than I last remember. I guess I just need to take the time out of my
busy *cough* life and spend more time with those around me.

ReplyDeleteof you about dad!
Wait wait, your dad do
Gundam model thingies? I
thought those are for kids.
I once tried to build those
but failed.
I think it's nice of your
dad constructing that desk
of yours. Maybe his way of
showing affection? c:
xx
haha I have to say, my dad is still a kid xD
DeleteIt's a sweet post. I like how the fixing of the desk is akin to the relationship with your dad. Sometimes we forget that our parents are getting old too.
