 Being Smart

The girls are very smart. They know who to go to for help...it all depends on the needs. When it is sewing, studies and boyfriends they go to mama.But when it comes to physical needs like making beds and bedrooms they will say the mama is of no use. They go to the papa. They are a spoilt lot; aren't they?

 Papa; he loves the girls dearly, being at their beck and call in all seasons.

 Last year when he knew that no.2 was coming home for good, he took upon himself to construct a double bed for her. She has been complaining about the size; so daddy decided to please her.

Why did he have to make? Just buy la. But no...it was either too high or the look was just not right. So he decided to make one instead on a Sunday afternoon. I could not understand why he had to do that.It is sometimes difficult to decipher the thoughts. Why go through the hard way?

 He hammered tirelessly under the sun; anything to make his girl's dream a reality.

 Not surprisingly; he hammered his hand too. Does the daughter know what he went through? Only the mama knows.

 

A Sunday was not enough; he stole some time the next evening to complete his task.

  

 Finally; the bed made to the right size, shape,colour and taste.What's so special? 

Only a bed that was made of a papa's love.

  

 Last weekend again saw papa being the saving knight again. This time he traveled hundreds of miles down South to create another bed for the girl. No.2 has gone down South to work.So dad goes down to make another dream come true; getting her a comfortable bed to lie on.

 

 

 What do you do when you have an odd size single bed mattress that is neither big nor small? No.2 is fussy. She has a niche and eye for things. She doesn't take to things easily. Nothing much you can do where tastes are concerned. Now the problem was how to get a double size bed frame for a 3.5 feet mattress? A single bed frame would be too small too. So why not get a double bed mattress? But No.1 was difficult. She insisted that it was not easy to store the extra bed. Everything is TINY especially a rented place in Singapore. You see everything that is in when you walk pass it. So every inch of space is precious and everything measured to perfect fit.Papa had the final say. Buy a double size bed frame and he would decide later about the extra width.

 So he measured, sawed, hammered and sliced...

 

 Do you like the look? Yes papa has come out with a brilliant idea again. No.2 is not papa's girl for no reason. Both of them paint, draw and build.They are related in blood and interests.

 By the way, yes that's a real cat. I forgot her name. She walks, jumps and squeezes herself everywhere. She makes me exasperated.  I try to be nice to her ... with a huge effort.

 To the sisters; be kind to each other and love each other and may both or you enjoy your work and each other's company till the time comes for you to be apart again. You are fortunate to have each other and may the Good Lord's favour and countenance ever be with you.

On the first day of work Esther comes home at 10pm.

Have fun working hard.
