Happy Birthday to Papa!

My father is 60 today -- unbelievable. May Allah swt panjangkan umur and murahkan rezeki. May all your dreams and efforts come to fruition. And most of all, may you be happy always, and be assured that no matter what we vent out, or whatever we do, (or not do), all your children, grandchildren and son-inlaws and daughter in-laws still love you very much.

We're older now. At an age when you see your parents as their own persons. Once, we may have been angry, dissapointed, withdrawn but that was because we were thinking of ourselves. Often the rant was : how could you have done this to me? Children expect the world from their mothers and fathers and forget they are also human beings.

So today, we celebrate you, Papa as a human being who taught us all the good stuff : fishing, Stan Getz and Chet Baker, an unerring sense of style, an earthy sense of humor, scrabble, Scouts, personal computers, photography, PG Wodehouse, Robert Heinlein and Kurt Vonnegut, Monty Python and Peter Sellers, broadcasting and media management, and many many more things. We can never ever thank you enough.
