The family man

Today, I reached office at 10.20 a.m.

Yes ,I was late but I was already awake at 6.30 am. I got dress and I was on my way to work from Port Dickson to K.L

Yes, I repeat, from Port Dickson


My dad works in Damansara, together with his 2 fellow colleagues who also were transfer to KL,

They carpool, and they travel everyday, from and to work.

"Port Dickson – Kuala Lumpur – Port Dickson"

I went bac to my hometown last night because I missed my family since previous week I was not back and kindda miss my siblings laughter and craziness..

Anyway, that’s not my point, my points is actually, that these 3 jokers I were with are willing to travel to work everyday, everyday,

I left for port dickson yesterday at 7pm from work and arrange to meet with my dad in central, i arrived bac home at 9.00 because of the jam at Sungai besi, and all major roads...

Even being a passenger in the car, I already felt the pain in my bac, and even lethargy…and a bit bored...because uncle jokes are really weird and i dun get it, their joke is not even funny!!!and if I have to do this everyday I really can die. I dun mind traveling for holidays, but traveling to work for this would really means crazy!

After, I reached home, my mum was surprised of course, but I wasn’t, I felt lousy and tired and hungry too… after I freshen up and filled up my stomach , I realized that it was already 10.30 and my dad was ready for bed.

Amidst the tiredness, he was lazing at the hall to see whats up with all of us, i saw that my dad was satisfied to be at a place he call home, he was happy to be the family man even as he lies at the hall settee , controlling his remote, chatting wid my mum and hugging my youngest sister at his side.

I knew he was tired even as he was talking to my mum, he already yawned 3 times and even took a few second to smell my sister hair everytime he does that, he was not concentrating at the telly too…..all I knew that the family man jus need a little attention and break from the days work.

I’ll bet that his two colleague were also glad to be at home even as they go bac and see their children, or feed their dog and love their wife,

it’s good to know that despite they need to travel thru and forth everyday like a mad man, the sacrifices that they make are actually worth it, because the family man yearns to see their loved one waiting for them at home to repeat the routine they do again and again….every day!

What an exemplary figure. Tell your dad he has been made somebody's idol.

This post reminds me of my experience in California a few years ago:
Then, I drove from Orange County to Santa Barbara in the morning, and returned in the evening. Total traveling time - 6 hours! Fortunately, I had a co-driver.

If you love your dad, take turn to drive lah...
