All I want for Christmas is him...

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is my dad to be well again.

I know that I haven't been an exceptionally good girl this year. I hope I'm not asking too much from you.

Sorry that I do not know how to polish your boots like the rest of the little girls and little boys out there. All I know is how to be me. And I hope my sincerity will touch your heart.

I miss those moments when my dad scolded me over those long-long porridge phone calls from my boyfriendSss at night. I miss those moments when my dad reprimanded me for acting like a monkey at home. I miss those moments when my dad carried me in his arms and let me wipe my dirty shoes on his shirt.

I just wish that my dad will be well again.

Well enough to question me, "Titoki, how many weeks already have you not cleaned your bathroom?"

Well enough to caution me, "Titoki, how many boyfriendSss do you have exactly? Are you not afraid that they will kill themselves fighting over you? And then their mothers come and scream bloody murder in front of our house?"

And well enough to tell me, "Titoki, please stop yelling at your sisters like a Din Gai Lar. They are your own flesh and blood."

I'm not greedy, Father Christmas. All I wish is for my dad to be better, so that I can get on his nerve once again like old times... *winks*

Last but not least, I wish you, Mrs Claus and the elves a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Lurve,
Titoki
