June is my favorite month of the year.
Father’s Day which is widely celebrated all
around the world is held on 19th June yearly.
Since Father’s Day is around the corner, how
do you celebrate with your dad?
Here are 5 Father’s Day activities that my dad
and I had been having fun for the past decades.
These activities are suitable for father and son,
father and daughter, regardless of age.
You can still have fun with your dad even
though you are a parent too.
#1 -Fishing
My dad loved fishing when we were young.
He used to take us to the seaside, sat on the
pathway with an old newspaper placed below
our bottoms.
He had bought 3 fishing poles, baits and
accessories, brought a bucket and bought a
small bag of live earth worms from the pet shop.
We had never caught any fish during our
fishing spree but we did had a good heart to
heart talk because that is the time when dad
was opened up to us.
#2- Cycling
Spending a memorable day, cruising around
the park and playground with our bicycles was
fun and hilarious.
We had a bet who cycled to the designated
destination will be the winner.
The loser, the last person to reach there had to
give everyone an ice-cream treat.
Dad was the best entertainer and the
ice-cream was tasty.
#3- Teh Tarik – Milk Tea
Dad loved to hang out at the coffee shop in
the morning, for a cup of Teh tarik with roti
prata ( indian pancakes).
He doesn’t feel comfortable to dine at
restaurants, Western or local restaurants
because he felt the pressure dining there.
Hence, on Father’s Day, I would suggest dad
to have a tea drink ( in Chinese we fondly
called it “Lim Teh”) at the nearby coffee
shop, had a grand time of chit-chat over the
past and presence, memorable sweet memories
about his childhood days
. Do you know that old dad is fond of talking about his past?
#4- A pot luck
Since dad doesn’t like to dine in restaurants,
we suggested to have a pot luck lunch or
dinner at home.
He was smiling from ear to ear because he
wanted to have everyone in the family gather
together in his home on Father’s Day.
We made it happened for his Father’s Day
wish.
I had cooked his favorite Chicken Hot Pot,
black sauce chicken stew with assorted
vegetables.
Curry fish, dad loved curry fish head which my
brother had bought from the Chinese food
court.
Dad wanted to show his culinary skill.
Hence, he cooked a plate of Stir Fried Noodles
with Prawns which we had been eating on
every Father’s Day.
Family bonding with dining together is the
perfect idea for father and children to
enhance relationship.
My dad is a wise old man.
#5- Watching Movies
Dad also loves to watch comedy movies but
he doesn’t want to watch in the cinemas.
He couldn’t stand the air-cond and pitch
black background with the loud speaker
surrounding.
I had downloaded a few of his favorite old
time comedy movies in a pen drive.
Attached to the LED TV USB port, played the
movies while he sat on the sofa enjoying
himself.
He wanted us to join him because
he doesn’t want to be alone.
So, we made some light pita bread snacks,
popcorn and hot beverages.
Sat together to enjoy a good laugh.
Do you noticed that old folks are lonely?
On this coming Father’s Day, let us spend
precious time with our dads.
Remember to take some memorable photos
with your dad
Wishing all a Happy Father’s Day
