My Mom's 1st MacDonald Delivery Call

This is another entry into my Mom's big head prawn legacy. As recounted by My Mom ...

Early this morning, Andrew and My Mom were hungry .... Andrew claimed he was too tired to go out for food so My Mom decided to call for Mac delivery. She tried to ask Andrew Mom and Dad to help her order but didn't get a reply.

So vaguely remembering the number, My Mom called 1777 to try and order.

With selective hearing problem, she wasn't able to hear the introduction on the other end of the line. So after the introduction ended, she asked them if they got MacDonald delivery or not. The operator politely replied they don't have such service.

She continued to ask if they could transfer her to the MacDonald delivery line or not. The operator once again replied that they do not provide such service too. Disappointed she hung up the phone ...

at this point, my Dad butted in and said

"That's because 1777 is for Non Emergency Ambulance Service"

: )

the Boy with the Golden Mic

During the recent computer fair, I asked Chew Cher to pick up a budget dvd player so I can give my Mom a early Birthday Present ... also partly for them to let their grandson watch DVD so that they could have some free time from him.

What I didn't expect was that Chew Cher got one dvd player with Karaoke function and just the night before, Andrew had been performing for my parents and others at Woodlands. In the end, they were more excited about the Karaoke function than the dvd player itself! ... and I gotten a couple Dvds from Library for Andrew to watch but before the dvd player could come out of the box, the grandma/son team was busy seeking the Mic out.

The following videos would reveal what had happen in the evening

Andrew's version of "We are the Champions"


He sang this song for Ang Mo strangers before ! and although it's likely that he won't be able to win the "Don't Forget the Lyrics", his performance would probably charm your socks off


then he moved on to
Andrew sang Small Aeroplane


I liked the way he bend down for the song ... and he was moving forward to me that got me worried for a while ... I liked to capture his performance and was wondering how far back I could move (as I was already against the wall liao)

Andrew Sang Ni Wa Wa 泥娃娃


Watch the NG moments ... haha sometime such at hoc performance needs some last mins direction

Andrew sang Heaven is a Place on Earth - Take 1


Was kinda surprised that he know this song ... as again, the lyrics are everywhere ... : ) also watch out for the NG moments caused by my DAD : )

Andrew sang Heaven is a Place on Earth - Take 2 "the longer version"


The song again ! longer version ... had to wait a long while before he finally got to the extra part

this pen is not company one

We need to transfer money overseas and usually my Dad is the one doing the transfer ... the first step would be to fill up a form and there are plenty of stuff to fill up ... address, amount and bank account numbers

When we were about to head to the bank, I realized that the amount was incorrectly filled and had to change ... seeing my dad just wrote the first one, I told him I will rewrite the next one as there are quite a lot to fill up ...

then when I tired to take the pen he just used to fill the first form, he took it away and said "this pen is not company one"

I stared at him blankly and couldn't believe he just did that to me .. I turned and look at my Mom who was busy texting ... I tried to bring what had happen to her attention and her reply was "as least he told you nicely"

I drew a even bigger blank ... When she finally knew what had transpired ... she was laughing with me at my Dad stinginess

later he explained that a lot of his own personal pen got lost when the company borrowed it ... so no more lending ... I just can't believe the line must draw until like that

No Dinner for me

After spending one hour of cooking with my Mom... I went out and inform Dad that Dinner is ready and if he requires me to set dinner for him ... He nodded his head and told to set for him ...

then I told him .. "Since you didn't cook, you wash up later then"

his immediate reply was "Then I don't want to eat dinner liao"

Couldn't believe my Dad's reply ... tsk tsk

sleep some more

Was driving my Mom around when she complained to me about my Dad; how he could sleep at night, wake up late in the morning and nap again in the afternoon. It seems that he is almost sleeping non-stop.

At the spur of the moment, with no malice intend and just a friendly poke at him ... I said

"He must be training for the eventual eternal sleep"

My Lousy Attempt at Icebreaker with my Dad

Was chatting with my Mom at the dinning table . When She was pondering over some things that I told her, I turned and saw my Dad reading the obituary section of the newspaper.

My Dad and I never really speak to each other (at least not that often compare to My Mom and I) so I decided to make the effort and try to break the barrier between the both of us.

and my silence breaker line to him was :" Looking for Friends ah?"

It was hard for us not to laugh at something that sound so wrong

My Dad's Happy When ...

Mom informed me that my Grandma's ops over and now send to observation ward... then she grumbled about my Dad who is suddenly so on about staying in the hospital for such a long period of time and leave everything else aside ... then she mention

"i think your Dad is lonely ... that why he so happy staying in the hospital, looking at the nurses and ..."

she stopped at the moment ... and I burst into laughter ... : )

Of cos my Dad's happy at the hospital ... the nurses are pretty young and pretty (did i say pretty twice?) ... plus they wear the tight nurses uniform

LOL Men are all the same, regardless of age

Forever Indebt to 2 slices of White Bread

Was at Genting Highlands recently with my folks, sister and her kid.

Was having the cheapo buffet @ First World Hotel when Andrew, my nephew kept wanting to visit the amusement park below. Basically what he wants, he gets and his mom gotto bring him down so he won't throw a fit.

I had just finish my first plate and my Dad turn over and ask me if I am done with breakfast. I had a urge for white breads with jam n butter but in this cheapo buffet, there's even a queue for white breads at the bread station. So I told my Dad that I still want to get white breads but I will be getting them when the queue is not so long.

After which, I just sat that and look around the huge restaurant and wonder why there so many people swarming around even tho it's not holidays yet and it's a weekday.

Looking around, I was shocked to see my Dad queuing up at the bread station. Deep in my mind, I was wondering if he is getting for me but I thought it shouldn't be as he was seldom so nice to me. Dismissing that thought, I continue my people watching and daydreaming.

When my Dad came back, he actually put a plate of white breads in front of me.

"Here the white breads you wanted, the corners been removed because of the tongs but it's still clean to eat"

and on the side of the bread, there jam and butter! Oh boy I was so touched. I never been close to my Dad before and it was such an unexpected moving experience.

So I spread the jams n butter and start munching on the white breads while feeling so loved.

My Dad left the table again to get other stuff for my Mom. After my Dad's left us, my Mom started telling me "See how much your Dad love you" and so on ... I just nod my head and continue eating ...

After finishing those breads, I continue my people watching in bliss and my Dad returned with my Mom's food. My Dad noticed that I had finished my breads and asked me; "Finish your breads?"

"Yeah" I replied with a smile

"You done already then quick go down to help you Sister look after Andrew la !"

Sigh ... heart break siah !

My Mom and I had a good few minutes laugh at the whole incident .... We all thought that he was being nice to me but his was just concern about his Grandson...

and everyone is Kungfu Fighting ...

While walking back home from Centrepoint Mac, I received a phone call from my gf; telling me that my Dad got (nearly-actually) into a fight.

The first thing that came into my mind > " must be at the JB causeway n the car must be kanna scratched or damaged"

After clarification, it turned out that my grandma's new neighbour nearly wack my Dad with a stick/pole (or rod as some claimed) and that "gangster" was waiting for him downstairs. So gotto call the Police to "save" my folks and gf from the lock in.

Of cos there are many sides to the story but I believed that what happened.

1) My Grandma told my Dad that her new Neighbour places a shoe rack that block her window.
2) Angry Dad approach Grandma's Neighbour with temper (pointing fingers and raised voice)
3) Angry Neighbour got pissed by my Dad's approach and took out a stick to wack my Dad.
4) Family members beat a hasty retreat to my Grandma's home
5) Neighbour swears that will wait for him at the void deck n challenge him to One-on-One, call the Police and that he been in Prison for 11 Years and wont Mind going back there again (which the Policemen n I don't believe at all)
6) Police came and "sort of" solved the matter. At least for now and took down their statement.
7) It turned out that the Neighbour's new tenant just moved in and place a new Shoe Rack, never expecting the whole issue to be blown up.

So the unhappy incident between my Grandma n her Neighbour came to a uneasy truce. I won't be surprise that there will be more of such incidents in the future and I can't say the fault lies with the Neighbour. The previous Indian Neighbour had police visiting them a couple of time due to my Grandma's complaints and opt to move out in the end.

Sigh tho she my Grandma but she reminds me of the Old Lady in "Duplex" and woes to whoever becomes her Neighbour.

Anyway Don’t think my Dad should try to solve my Grandma Neighbour Problems. Neither should my 4th Uncle.
