Dwa Tao Life

I am so proud of my dad! Seriously, he is still the best problem solver man I’ve ever known even though he has lost his “power” when he was more influential as a boss.

He has found a way to accept and adapt after his business failure due to the Asia Financial Crisis. It was a hard fall, and nobody can help him out of the mess. “Friends” who clung to him before just disappeared. “Good partners” who promised to return the company the debt also just ignored their benefactor’s plight. But my dad, the power man, just spent many many, really a lot of sleepless nights and sort his thinking through. (We didnt really help much then, I am ashamed to say)

Now on Monday, I was told he actually took a bus from Johor Bahru back to Singapore!!! It was already a headline-worthy news in my family if my dad took any public transport other than taxis, but he took a bus! And from Johor Bahru!!!

And, yesterday, while I was trying to do my assignment, I just realised my Wearnie Lappie’s charger refused to charge! There was a problem with the cable and I actually saw sparks when I forced the connection to work *Sweat*. Anyway, I seek help from the Power Man, coz since young, I know he can FIX EVERYTHING!.But, then, I have to admit, IT stuff is out of his league. He took a look at the charger and told me he has to dismantle it in order to change the cable and he didnt think it was a good idea to take the risk. And the very next moment, he got changed within 5 minutes, rushed down to Sim Lim, and got me a replacement charger (but not the same voltage and brand). I was so happy. I had been using my Wearnie ever since I started my Uni programme and I really can’t write anything without it. =D

My dad had not given up though. He dismantled my old charger, and fixed it! I’ve attached the pix. And now, it works!!! How can anyone, anyone at all, measure up to him? What a Dad ;)
