* House of The Fabulous,Glamorous,Yummilicious *: * Happy Birthday Periamma

I love my aunt terribly being more of a mum to me than anything else. She was there when I was born, there for every school holiday feeding me nasi lemak, there with a limp up 3 flights of stairs on my first day in campus away from home settling in my room, there when I graduated, there to always give me the support I needed to accomplish anything. I owe a great deal to her and never have I met a stronger woman. A true inspiration to all Kandiah women *hugs*

My dad? A true groove-aholic. He taught me the meaning of disco *all hail Beegees!* My mum has always said 'If appa had two Premeela's, his whole head would be bald' meaning I am the sole cause of his loss of afro-ness :)) I wouldn't call myself a daddy's girl because truly we've always had a relationship filled with screams and 'I HATE YOU!' moments. Personalities of polar opposites and the fact that I love skirts that make lori men honk are constant sources of friction.

Still, not many fathers will go the distance my dad did to ensure BooBoo and me are where we are today. His famous words are 'My money is for amma and me after retirement... you want to go to uni... get a scholarship... if not wash toilets'. I KNEW HE MEANT IT TOO. He always wanted us to stand on our own two feet... never dependent even on them. The best lesson one could ever teach a woman I believe :D Most dads spoil their daughters rotten crippling them from achieving anything significant because they lack the experience to!

A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL
APPA/PAPA/DADDY'S

*In the words of John Mayer*

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers

ps: My dad still proclaims 'Not many men are as understanding as your father, Premeela'. Crap, I iz screwed.
