Father's Day!

Today is "Western" Father's Day, which means my family is celebrating it. The Chinese or "Asian" Father's Day is on August 8, because it's the eighth day of the eight month, or “八八” which sounds the same as "爸爸" meaning "dad". So that's a roundabout way of saying that not all of Singapore is celebrating Father's Day today, but that's perfectly okay.

In honor of Father's Day, we watched Man of Steel. Now, it's a pretty good movie, but there are a couple little things I noticed. Parts of it were coloured like an Indie Hipster Movie, which was a little weird to see from a big budget production. The other bit was that I wasn't expecting it to be so alien based. It was darn cool since I like aliens, but it was a little weird to have Hipster shots jump to alien shots. Oh, there's another thing. The movie was good at tying up loose ends, but jumped around a bit in order to tie them up. Either way, I'd give the movie an 8/10. Not as good as Star Trek, but I'm bias. Also, Clark was pretty good looking.

We're going out to Long Beach Restaurant on East Coast to eat pepper crab later, which is going to be pretty yummy. I can't wait!

So, I bet my dad is going to read this. If he doesn't, too bad for him. But if he does...

Hi Dad! I'm really glad to be your daughter. You've given me so many opportunities to learn, explore, and grow as a person. When I was little, I was always writing essays about you for "someone who inspired me". Well, if I had to write another essay on that topic, I'd still pick you as my subject. You're the epitome of hard work and perseverance, and I really admire and want to emulate those traits. Also, you're a nerd. You know that already, but nerd ^.^ I think you've passed that on to me...  yay Star Trek! Though darn you for not telling me why there's an Old Spock. Then again, I'm the one who didn't notice it was Scotty playing the bag pipes at this funeral, so I guess I can't really whine too much. We'll have to watch the next Star Trek movie together as well so you can laugh at my reactions.  So even though I didn't turn out to be a science kid, I'm glad you got me into science fiction and other nerdy things. You're a pretty cool father, Dad :)


Now, here's an unrelated bird jumping on a bed that will probably make you laugh.

Love you Dad!
