To my Old Man:

My old man... He is quite a character... He is a family dude... He is a genius... i think  =x

He curses at Internet all the time. Not that because of I am always facing my computer, but of something else. Last few days, I had a little chat with him. "Nowadays, working ain't as easy as it is used to be...", he said. Internet and technology has been growing rapidly, no question about it. With its advantages and conveniences no doubt it is everyone's best friend. However, if one wants to be successful in business, he/she has to master the art of "Internet-ing". The conversation goes on and on... We even debated till the extend that it almost became an arguement... 

One of the things he pointed out is, customers no longer listen to his advices and even questioned his knowledge. He said that customers nowadays trust more on information in the web than experienced senior worker such as him himself. I giggled... Frankly, me myself never trusted anything my lecturers nor people around me say. Well, everything that other people say can only be as reference, there is no 100% guarantee that everyone is correct. I mean, technology is growing rapidly, new tide will always come in the next day and we need to be well informed all the time.

I hated him all the time, used to.... Until the extend I wanted to run away and never come back. Well, I was still young that time. Until one day, I finally realized what he did for me were... were... well... for my sake? I finally come to a point that I forgived him and even better, I acknowledged him as the best pops anyone can wish for.

Recently, I started to admire him more and more. For my age.. well I am not that old, but I overcame many difficulties,  filled with joy, excitement(I faced my difficulties with excitement, do not ask me why =x), some are painful and unforgetable which scar me for life... If a boy like me knows so much, what of it for my old man? Whatever he said and suggested are gold, I will always treasure it, good or bad.

I can't say that I love him. I am a dude, like all dudes we often hide our emotions. He did this often as well, never told us how he felt and keep all the pain to himself, this is what my used mum to tell me. Once that I knew that and walk in his shoes(hypothetically) I felt his pain and come to an understanding. Pops, please don't hide it anymore, I am here to share the pain with you, neh?

Everytime he got angry, house became hell, there is no place to hide. After I become "partially" all grown up, I finally realised that there is no place like home =D Outside world... is waaaay more hellish... kiddos, trust me.. There are many types of people way beyond your imagination. Family, they are always there for you, even when they hate you a lot (most of the time).

I think this is enough, too much text do not make this an interesting article(many people are complaining) ~XD

For those people who curses at their family members, well, I have to admit, you have all the right to do so, and there are many extreme scenarios. I have seen a lot... However, often,what your parents told you to do  might not sound good but it is for your own good. Please, cherish them before it is too late.

Oh... before ending this naggy shit, Happy Birthday PoPs  ^^
