the tie

The CEO of my company is coming to the office today to make a round trip to meet everyone in the company, my boss is going to wear a tie so out of respect, I wore a tie as well.

A very long time ago when i was probably still in primary school, my dad was promoted as one of the committee in the Chee Clan association that he newly joined. I remembered being so proud of him when we went shopping for a shirt and tie for his ceremony. Imagine, my dad, becoming someone important. It's strange how such pride for him has plummetted especially in the last few years of his life. I am weak, I wasn't able to see the good part of him, his silent suffering, because no one was there to listen. I kept telling myself to be nicer to him, but when i see him, I just can't bring myself to do it.
