it's a long sunday. as the song collide goes.. "even the best fall down sometimes.." seeing ken so upset about his car accident, really hurts me too. it was nothing serious. the motorcyclist had a fractured leg.. but ken felt so damn bad about it. sigh! my dearest cousin Kenson! ken has always been the idol of my life. i put him as a yardstick when it comes to searching for the perfect guy. he is what i truly admire him to be. he is a perfectionist. only wanting the best, he went through the elite route in education, dunman to tjc to nus... became what i thought was perfect for him, a teacher. through this journey, he takes control of his life and steers it properly to make sure no mistake is made. he loves his family a lot. he is really an extinct species in our modern day society. really. until today, i have yet to see anyone who has come close to how.. perfect he is.u know, he said that if one day singapore were to be in a war, he wanna be the first to defend the nation.and now.. this is the first time i saw him so destroyed. sigh. such a strong character.. can fall down. and its just a small error, but he just couldn't take any flaws in his life. and this, is a scar for him. i just hope he will stand up again... he must have felt he let alot of people down. sigh. anyway seeing george working so hard for his grades also motivates me. those 2 brothers ar.. really really awesome people.
anyway, i really have a lot to learn from my dad. remembered earlier on, i said he striked a little money from jackpot at rws. today he treated some relatives, about 2 tables full of relatives. my mum's side also got invite. just close ones la. seeing all the yi yis and uncles happily chatting as though it was chinese new year... is really heartwarming. i mean, my dad could have just given red packets and call it quits. but he even had a luncheon to gather people together. and the most touching thing was when ahyi said how the happy ambience cheered her up despite ken's incident. and i had a lot of fun too, talking to my ahyi and cousins. and my uncles. i wouldn't have traded this happiness i felt for anything in the world. i just hope we do this more often.
my father's selflessness gives me hope. i do hope ken will stand up again soon.. [: maybe this incident might deem him as being slightly imperfect. but i feel, the imperfection has made his perfections stand out even more. makes him feel more human like.
