oh ....and yes ... Father's Day......

Did the kids do anything for their daddy? Well... gotta admit, it's not like Mother's day. I got chocolates, a card and a 'flower-thingy'. For Father's Day, he got hugs and kisses.

Life is good

Humpty Dumpty

No, I didn't fall off the wall,

Just tripped over my own feet, and landed on one knee and two hands.
It happened at the morning market.

The guy who helped me up assured me , "mmm sei keang, lei tit tou hou yau ying". (No worries, you fell down with style).

Exams and Results

Kids had their exams, and the results are back. They did good (my standards la).

Me : How was school? Any results today?
Jeremy : Yar, we got our science paper back. And the teacher taught us to 'berlagak' (show-off)
Me: huh? What do you mean?
Jeremy : He asked those who got 90 and above to come up front and show the papers to the class, and he took a picture, and then tell the class they are the smart ones.
Me : oh.... so... how did you do?
Jeremy : Lucky I got less than 90.... no need to 'berlagak'.

Josephine : I am really stupid
Me : hey, no, you are not stupid.
Josephine: My teacher told the whole class I'm stupid, I can't do Maths. I don't understand Maths
Me: You know what? Mommy was like that too. I always get low marks for Maths too because I cant understand it. But suddenly when I was in Form 3... ting! .... Maths made sense to me. So, one day, your mind will go 'ting'! too :-)
Josehine : But I don't want to be like you!!!! I want to be smarter NOW!

Stephanie : hahaha, I got 'C' for BM la
Me: So... how you feel about it?
Stephanie : It's ok. At least I pass. (big grin)


Our education system is messing me up!!

The ole incident

We saw this car, and the kids were so amazed. Could you spot why?

It led me to remember an incident that happened a loooooong time ago, back in the days when I was still under 3 feet tall.

Pa has a car (maybe not like the one shown above), but i remembered the fan!!!! And even when the fan was on full-blast, it can get sweltering hot, so it's usual for Pa to have the windows down.

The 6 of us kids were always fighting for the window seat, where you could feel the wind blowing in your hair. And although 'take turns' was a mantra amongst us, I never get the window seat (always on one of my sis' laps instead), something that I was eternally grateful for one day. 

We were going somewhere, and my 2nd sis, MT, got the window seat right behind the driver. She was gleefully letting the wind whip at her hair, when suddenly..... my Pa made a huge honking noise, cleared his throat and .... spit out of the window!!! Guess where the 'treasure' landed?
