Will you still love me ... tomorrow

Was watching tvb series with my folks and there was a scene of a couple who was going to express their love for each other. Previously, the girl said she is worried that he will also leave her (cos her previous lover n dad left her) eventually.

He then told her that he will never leave her and will be by her side till 70 or 80 years old. He revealed a cake that he made for her and on the cake, there a picture of them with white hair.

Then Ma ria (my mom)turn around n ask my dad: " Will u stay by my side till 70 80 ?"

Before my dad can answer, I quickly added ... "Soon soon, he is going to reach 70 liao"

Watching Movie could be stressful

Was playing Wong Kar Wai's Chungking Express in the living room when my folks were around. When they came back, they didn't seem to want to use the TV so I let the movie play on and they sat in the living room ... after a while, my Mom said this to me.

"Watching your Movies(dvds)are like taking an exam ... so difficult one."

: ) To make it easier for her, I changed the dvd to Johnnie To's Breaking News ... more action pack and easier to understand.... But ended up explaining to her about the ending montage

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 Curious Case of the Red Eggs Thief and How to Medically Predict the Gender of the Two Month Old Fetus

There so much to learn from my Mom ... the stories she tells are really as entertaining as the next Hollywood Picture. This time round ... it stuff about pregnancy and someone in my family is pregnant again. Cannot be named cos it is still in a very early and crucial stage (they don't want to jinx it).

Brace yourself cos this are the wildest far fetched stuff about pregnancy that I had heard.

How to get pregnant ? (Beside sex that is) ... it turn out that you could get your elderly (Preferably those Aunty or Mom type) relative to steal a pair of Red Eggs and put them secretly in your fridge for you.

That's what happen to my Aunt and She Who can't be Named. And that Elderly person is of cos none other than my Mom.

Many years ago, My late Grandpa asked my Mom to help my Aunt steal a couple of red eggs and put in my Aunt's fridge. My Aunt wasn't that "happy" to find the eggs after a few days but within a few months time ... she was pregnant! (hahaha if there are any cousin reading this post right now, feel free to msg me to ask if you are the one).

Fast Forward to this year, My Cousin Dylan's first born son had his ManYue recently and where there are Red Eggs, there will be this Red Eggs Thief in action. She did the same act (and even for me which I wonder how is this magical act going to impregnate a single man) and wah la ! there might be a Cow Baby coming in 09 09 09 (even the dates also so nice).

Amazing and could be true.

Next up would be how to accurately guess the gender of the Fetus within 2 months of conception.

Nowadays, the doctor could calculate the date of conception with the growth of Fetus. Then if the couple take note of their sexual intercourse frequency (which I wonder who actually take note of that), they could gauge which type of sperm made it into the egg.

As those who had learned Bio during school days, it turned out that there are two type of sperms ... the XY and XX chromosomes (fyi: XY = Male Baby, XX = Female Baby). What you might not know is that ... The XY sperms are fast and furious type ... they tend to rush into battle faster than their XX counterpart. But with that urgency, it also meant that the XY has very short life expectancy.

the XX on the other hand, takes a long time to reach the conception arena but can live longer (say a couple of days) than XY. Now with that knowledge, one need to know when will the Ring Egg fall into place. If it's after the the life expectancy of XY, then it's likely to be a girl girl.

Let's see if theory work or not .... come back in Sept to see if it's correct or not ... so If you want to "genetically chose" the gender of your next spawn, you got to time the sexual intercourse with the arrival of the Egg.

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

The Blunder @ the airport

Never in my life had I encounter this and for something so dramatic ... it gotto be my Mom's handiwork.

We just clear custom and I went to help get some duty free stuff for my friend. She started questioning me who is it for, why am I getting it and etc ... So I shoo her away... tell her to make her way to the Belt area first as she tend to walk rather slow ... (back in Hong Kong, I felt that the local snails there can crawl faster than her but thought it might be rather mean to tell her and we might end up sending more money on taxi ... hehehe), I would catch up asap ...

Then I kanna a overly helpful cashier who helped the customer in front to change her stuff to something else better ... she even wanted to help me change my stuff too but it turned out to be not what I wanted ... a lot of time wasted there n then

Rushing to the baggage belt, I was surprise to see that she actually move all our luggages onto a trolley .... kinda impressed that she did it on her own (not that our luggages are that heavy anyway) ... she asked me to do a count of the items and they were right ... so we rush out of the final custom area ... partly because I was carrying a lot of dvds and didn't want to kanna checked + divert to MDA to purchase unncessary stickers

partly (actually mostly) ... my Mom can't wait to hug her grandson

true enough ... that little bugger actually jump and hug my Mom ... ( that points scoring young punk is a threat to my inhertiance ) .... it was so drama and done in front of a big crowd that I quickly push the trolley away ... didn't want to block the enterance too ...

so while waiting for them to have their dramatic reunion, I tried to restack the bags and our posters as some items are more fragile than the others ...while restacking, I realized something ...

One of the bags don't belong to us !!! > My Mom took the WRONG BAG !!!

Tah ta da DAHHHHH ...

The important lesson I learnt from that night was that even after coming out of the Airport custom ... you can make your way back. It's just that it's a bit troublesome and far to actually re enter the belt area ...

You have to actually go to the airport crew entrance, change a passport for a pass to re enter ... and then take the wrong bag for X-Ray!

I wonder what if the wrong bag belongs to a drug trafficker or bomb terrorist? Won't I be in a big unnecessary trouble to re enter in that way? Of cos the police that was escorting me chose to ignore my questions (I was still in the mood to ask such unlikely scenario since this unexpected event already occurred) ...

Reaching back to the belt area ... I wonder if I should just place the wrong bag down with the other bags that had already been taken off from the belt or should I try to attempt to look for the owner ... Lucky I didn't have to think about it for too long and Lucky the owner turned out to be a young lady ... attempted to apologize to her but she didn't respond at all ... and her male companion was giving me the eye and mumbling some unpleasant stuff ... felt rather wronged but what can I do ??? (hint to readers ... feel free to console me via the Comments Button)

This is something I never personally encounter before (even tho the airport police told me its a frequent occurrence) ... to be so blur until take the wrong bag felt really remarkable ... But like I told our German supplier who told us that his wallet been pick pocketed before ... such unexpected occurrence (be it abit troublesome) would be a great conversation piece in the future.

distributing eggs

Mom suddenly got this idea of making Tea Eggs and to our horror (my Dad and I), she wanted to make 20 of them!

My Dad asked her how are we going to finish all 20 of them and her plan was to give some to our neighbours and some to our estate manager.

I was slightly amused at that and asked her

"issit becos you got no chance to give red colour eggs, so you are giving out all these black ones??"
