Daddy Air Mail

It's the holidays and it's full on non stop online TV action! Favourite shows coming back (too embarrassed to name them), movies all night long on Funshion, night becomes day, day becomes night, worries are far away. Ah, this is the life.

What I really wanted to mention was my Dad. Been looking around the house and the products we use and I realize there's a connection to my father and his current travel routes. When he first started going to Brisbane, we kept eating chicken, beef and lamb pies, the frozen kinds you heat up. It's like he goes somewhere and finds something he likes, or is told is popular and suddenly the whole family is roped into that phase.

After the pie period, he started going to Perth and when we mentioned we liked these grain chips we had there, it became Grain Waves season. Every single time he came back from Australia, it was more Grain Waves until we just couldn't eat them all in time for the next batch. He was so diligent about it that even when the bags of chips popped open in the high altitude, he stapled them close to save them for us.

Lately, he started going to India. The whole family was introduced to Himalaya facial products. In fact, every single toilet and dressing table in my KL home now is covered with Himalaya, either eye cream, facial wash, facial moisturiser or whatever you can think of.

I guess it's great, and convenient, if not a bit obsessive. And it comes from a good place. I still remember how sensitive he got that we didn't like the dresses/handbags he bought from France. We had to keep reassuring him that they were great and we were using them, just that he hasn't seen us in them. More proof that my whole family is sensitive to the max. Geez.
