Hmmmm…… its been too long since my last post. And when I say too long, believe me, it’s an understatement. Just look at my last post date, 28 September 2010. A lot had happen since then. Some are good, some are not too good, while others is just plain sad….
If you’re asking why I am not consistent on writing on this site, although I am quite sure that nobody is, one simple answer comes to my mind and that is lack of drive. I have no drive at all to keep me posting on this site..
But speaking about drive, I have a drive for my life once, My Dad. He passed away last year, about 2 weeks before my final exam. The date that I shall remember for the rest of my life, 26 November 2010. My dad was everything to me and still is. My idol, my leader, my shoulder to lean on and the most important thing is, he is my father.
I can still remember his voice, calling me asking to me to call my mom because she is worried about me. And the most amusing part is at the very beginning of each call, he would ask me the same question, “Abang dah ade awek belom?,”. I used to hate that question, not that I’m gay, just that i just don’t know how to get an “awek”. But now, I give anything just to hear that question again from him.
I hate to recall the occurrence of that night because it is such a bad memory, hell, it’s the worst memory. Any bad things happened, you can at least wish to forget them, but this, I just can’t bring myself just to attempt to forget it.
After my dad was gone, I was lost actually. I was sad, but where can I lean on. Not my mother, she was too fragile, if i lean on her, then where will she lean to. Not my elder sisters, I was the first born son, I need to be their leader, no, I ‘have’ to be their leader. And after a while, it hits me, I can not lean on anyone after this, because I have to be the place for my family to lean on. This is MY family now and I can’t be weak for their sake. It’s my time to carry my dad’s duty….
Since then, i had put on my ‘strong can not cry for a damn shit’ face, and i really don’t know when can I really take it off. Not now especially and maybe not ever….
