My most memorable childhood moment was my 7th birthday. I would usually feel very happy and exited even if my birthday was still a few weeks away. But this time, it was different.
Just three weeks before my birthday, my father told me that he had to go overseas for work for a month. When I heard this, I felt very sad. Every year, without fail, both my parents will always celebrate my birthday together with me. I tried to persuade my father not to go but he told me that his trip was already scheduled to leave the following week. The day before his flight, I could not sleep the whole night. I kept on crying not only because he would miss my birthday, but because i would not be able to see him for a whole month. Weeks passed by and my birthday was getting closer and for the first time, I was not looking forward to it. On theday of my birthday, my mother woke my up early in the morning. She told me to get changed as we were going somewhere. Lethargically, I did what she said. As we got into the car, my motehr smiled to herself. Although i noticed it, i did not bother to ask why. After awhile, i started to notice that we were on our way to Changi airport. After parking the car, we went to the arrival hall of terminal 2. Suddenly i caught a glimps of someone walking towards us. When I turned around, I was suprised to see that it was my father! Without hesitation, i ran towards him and hugged him. I could not believe that he would make it back in time for my birthday.
It was really a memorable day.
