Just had my reunion dinner

yum yum


Just had my reunion dinner. it was pretty good. most pple mite think tt it's easy to have a nice tasting steamboat. just throw in prawns and all, then u get nice soup. I tink my family does it best. hahaha.

so as usual, we talk nonsense over the meal. it was pretty fun. i didn't say much, but i listened.
Apparently, my father has a drawing of 2 frogs. there's nothing special about it. except that one of them is supported by crutches, and the other is like on a wheelchair or something. and the reason?

well, it's cos we chinese pple ate their legs.

When dinner ended, my family noted that one of the clocks was not working. and being there displaying 10.30 all the time was rather misleading. So my dad took it down in an attempt to fix it. (it can sometimes be wound and works again, so i guess he was trying)

As he was taking it down,

he boasted: you know, this clock is an antique, it's about 100 years old!

just then, sparks flew (not the romantic kind), accompanied by crackling sounds.

i got a shock.

me: oui! ok or not?

then my mama (grandmother), equally worried..

said: mai liao la, ar ni gu liao...(don't want already, it's so old)

i guess, it's not very significant to her that a clock can be 100 years old.

then she continued: kia see lang! (scare people to death)



At that point, the issue of the clock disappeared from my mind. And i was recovering from the impact of having a lovely old, hunched-back woman say kia see lang.
