Last July Fannie went with her father, William, on one of his business trips to Singapore. He generally visited Singapore at least once a year for his work in the technology field. He has brought his wife with him and also the couple’s son, but Fannie has always seemed to be preoccupied with her social and school activities and has shown little interest in going anywhere with her father. This saddened him to an extent, but accepted it as part of her adolescent transition. However, last summer when Fannie actually asked if she could go with him, William didn’t know quite what to say, though he was definitively excited.
Fannie didn’t tell him that she was actually trying to get away because her boyfriend had just broken up with her. And there was a part of her that wanted to spend some time with her father before she was out on her own and it was too late. So, the two of them packed their bags and headed to Singapore for a week long stay. Fannie had a great time almost from the start. While her father was in a meeting she would hang around the resort mostly, but sometimes would venture down the street. She was introduced to hawker food, which is a noodle and seafood based dish and served in street side vendors, which she thought was fabulous. She also enjoyed sitting anonymously in a crowd of lunch hawker eaters and enjoyed the feeling of anonymity she had for the first time in her life.
One the third day of their trip William was finished very early in the morning so the two of them decided to enjoy a day in Pasir Ris Park. While they were watching some people fish at the lake, Fannie noticed a large crowd of well dressed people gathering around a canopy a short distance from them. She realized that it was a beautiful Singapore wedding taking place and thought it was the prefect day for it. Then she remembered her own boyfriend and was sad for a moment before realizing that she was truly better off without him and looking back over at her kind father who was renting two bikes for them, she decided maybe she would look for a man who had more of her father’s personal characteristics.
