Dear Dad.

To my number one fan,

Give me a moment to tell you how much I love you.

Even though you're often not at home, my love for you never decreased even the slightest. I'm always excited for the next time you come back home and it's always a pleasure to spend time with you. Distance wasn't a problem because our bond between a father and a daughter is strong.

When I heard about your condition, my heart sank.But mom told me you were taking actions like going to gym now and eating a little healthier, I felt a little better because I knew you were taking actions. It proves that you still care about your health.

One of the things that I love about you is that you're always so carefree. You don't worry as much as mum and perhaps because you spoil your kids more, that's why we are often given the green light if we asked you for anything. Especially when it comes to food, there's no saying 'No' to whatever we want to eat.

Unfortunately, your condition doesn't allow you to eat whatever you want now. I know it feels terrible to not eat the (delicious) things you're used to, but as your daughter that loves you, I'm asking you to care more about your health from now on.

Mum is most worried about your health and has been telling me how much she wishes to have you back home so she can prepare the meals you eat. You're quite stubborn as well to make mum angry, but I totally understand, there's no point being human if you can't eat what you want. But please do understand mum is doing whatever she can to make your health improve.

I know I'm asking a lot to my food-loving dad to change his diet, but let's start slowly. Reduce your sugar and carbohydrate intake and eat more vegetables. Exercise more, too. When I saw you at the gym the other dad, I couldn't tell you how proud I am for you to be working your ass out.

So please don't give up dad. Your family just want to best for you. It pains me to write this post for you but I'm sure it will hurt more if I hear your condition gets worse. If you can't do it for yourself, please do it for mum, or even me.

I hope this post will motivate you somehow. Just know that I will always be supporting you.

Words can't describe how much I love you dad.

Thoughts about HTTYD: The Hidden World

Image
On the first of February, I went to the cinema with my brother and a close friend of mine to watch How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. It's the third and last film for the almost decade-long series. If you didn't know or aren't my Twitter follower, I am a huge fan of HTTYD. I became so impatient when they wouldn't enter the theatre on time. I kept mentioning that I waited five years for this, and I didn't want to miss any second of it. We did miss a few seconds of the movie because I went to the bathroom. After the movie ended and the credits started to roll, I didn't really know how to feel about the movie. I told myself some time to gather my thoughts about the movie. I wrote my first draft while I was celebrating Chinese New Year in my hometown, but I had to stop myself to think about it again. I'm wondering if I should watch the movie again and think it through but I don't know when the movie will be available for streaming so I

The Handsome Side Of Biology.

Image
LOOKEY GRAY FULLBUSTER IS LOOKING AT ME < 3 --- I once gave that title (look at blog post title) to my tuition teacher who taught us Biology, but he doesn't know that. Mr Jay (not his real name) teaches Biology (duh) at ERA for I don't know how many years and among all the teachers, he's the youngest I think. I can say he's quite good looking and he has a great personality. I first saw him when I went to a seminar for PMR. I was sitting far away so I couldn't really see his face. I just remembered he made us laugh a lot and no doubt, he's good at what he's doing. He works at the hospital too. When I came into Form 4, I attended his class and yeah, I thought he was handsome. Lots of girls liked his looks and even Mr Ding, the owner of ERA said he is handsome. A couple of my friend went crazy over him. I got over it after a few weeks. HE'S A TEACHER COME ONNN. So anyway, yesterday was our last class, you could say. Mr Jay never came on

Ballet Grade 6

Image
Having my Grade 6 examination soon. Makes me go nervous AHHHH. Grade 6 isn't children grade anymore, it's a performance grade, where you seriously need facial expression, eye focus and blah blah blah. Just like what my teacher says. Everything need to be done, performance-y. I had two regrets during this grade. ONE. I choose PINK for my leotard instead of BLUE! I have always loved the colour pink. If it's possible, I would choose pink every time. But this time, I preferred blue much more than pink. The reason I wanted blue because I wanted to choose the Free Movement dance, so I thought. Maybe, if I choose blue, it will be more nicer than pink. And it looks more. MORE NICE LOL. When all of us were making final decisions, I heard the pianist said : "If you pick blue and dancing Free Movement, it will be like water flowing around. It will definitely look great. " Oh, that really, really brighten up my day x) But no, my own teacher took away my confidence >___>
