The week with my dad in melbourne

Last week my dad was over in Melbourne. Have not seen him for half a year and he already has grown more white hair. Nevertheless, it was good to meet up with him. Hes the kind of dad who really cares but seldom talk about it openly. Hes not really talkative, more of an actions person.

It was good having Dad over. We spent a whole good week together. Even went to some places such as Point Cook and St. Kilda beach. The main reasons for his coming were to sort out the youth allowance thing for my sis and me, and to meet up with us. We did lots of shopping together, and finally our house looks re-stocked! So many things in our cupboard now. That only can happen when Dad is around.

When Dad was around this time, he also did alot of shopping, as in, tonnes of shopping. As usual the 3 of us consisting of Dad, sis and me went shopping at Myers and Chadstone. Sis and myself didnt buy anything. However, Dad bought hundreds of dollars of clothes. Never seen him buy so much before. He claims that he always wanted to buy it and it has been quite awhile already. So then the result is mega shopping spreee.

Good thing when Dad is around is that we always had a lot to eat and enjoy because he pays for everything. Of course, that is alot of cash for Dad, still, he insists on giving us a treat. And he always likes to say that he is in debt because of high fees to sustain sis and myself in Australia. Yet he treats us like he has alot of money, which makes me confused, is he in need of money or not. That is just some funny thoughts playing in my head.

The bad thing I guess when Dad is around is that I seldom get to see my friends alot, especially my close friends. I guess overall it was good to see my dad again. Now he is back in Malaysia, and probably wont be seeing him until next year January. A good visit from him it was.
