KUALA TERENGGANU: While most children would be dreaming about a new set of Hari Raya costume or new shoes, all Dewi Nuraini Munawir wants is to celebrate the festive season with her long-lost father who has been missing since the 2004 tsunami.

Despite the minimal chance that her Indonesian father Munawir Hassan, 31, was still alive, the 13-year-old girl has never given up hope that he would return since that fateful night in December 2004.
