can daughters be disappointed with their fathers?

me: papa, i got into uni of edinburgh.

papa: silence

-----------------------------------------------------------

later at lunch

mummy: did you tell papa about your edinburgh thing?

me: i did, but he not interested what. talk to him he also never bother to respond.

papa: aiyah...i don't care you all lah huh. up to you okay? tell you so many times already, study in singapore don't want....

me: how many times you want me to tell you? what i want to study singapore don't have...

papa: you want to study, you want to study, can we afford anot?

me: you don't even sit down and calculate the figures and just assume that we cannot afford...

i storm off.

my dad once hinted saying that overseas education is only for those who cannot get into local uni.

so what about local university?

so getting into NUS is better than getting into imperial?

my mum and i agree that my dad's too comfortable with his life to accept the change that is happening around him.

both my mum and i are tired of our lives and we wnat to move on to something else.

don't defend him: i know him more than anyone else.

he is willing to forsake my future, so as to secure his comfort.

happy father's day?

this year, somehow i don't feel like celebrating.
