It's my convo today. The 8am phone call this morning made me tear. Cos I was told that my dad ain't gonna make it (again) for the ceremony. 好久都没落泪了, 可是我今天有落泪了. Goes to show how impt he is in my life. I almost didn't want to go for the ceremony.
Finally, after wiping up my tears, I decided to try one more time. I text-ed my dad this...
爸,今天是我的毕业典礼. 我真的希望你能来. 地址是 461 Clementi Rd. 最迟一点要到.
My phone rang half an hour later. My dad. He said, Ok I'll go. I'll go home to pick you up. This phone call made me tear even more. I cant pen down my feelings in words. Its simply beyond words.
Never mind that the whole journey there was quiet. Never mind that my dad acted nonchalant. Never mind that we didn't talk at all. His presence was all it mattered.
Putting on the mortar board for the 2nd time in my life.
Finally. A photo wif my beloved parents.
I went on stage twice today. One for the conventional degree delivery. The other one for the top student award. My cohort stood up and cheered for me the second time round. It was the best moment. :)
The fact that I know both my parents are sitting behind me this time round, waiting for the moment for me to go on stage, made everything all worthwhile.
To me, its priceless. Thanks dad, for being there.
