Children like to mimic things that their parents do and say. I like to mimic the things my parents say in cantonese hoping that it will improve my dialogue. This evening my father was watching television. I was upstairs when I heard him shout,"Yao mo gow tsow ah!!" It must have been some sports channel he was watching. My head shot up from my work and I started to mimic him loudly saying,"yao mo gow tsow ah! yao mo gow tso ah! hahahahah.." My mother hears me, and from what I can conclude, she must have given him an evil glare because my father says," What?! When you're around her you say those things too!! and 'lay sai po!' too!" A couple seconds of silence followed that comment until it was broken by my father saying "ow!"

It's been a while guys... and the week certainly has been a busy one. THere's been a lot of junk homework this week, and suddenly, Mrs. Griggs decides to suprise attack us with a bunch of homework assignments. This saturday was totally booked man.i woke up so early to be at niki's house at NINE O CLOCK!!! (crazy early, i know... I even missed my all new yu gi oh shows- but there were doughnuts at her house, so.. it was worth it. ^_^) so from nine to elevenish twentish.. i was at her house rehearsing for the skit tomorrow for FOCUS ( man i need to memorize those lines. ) and then i went home only to be badgered by mum's constant complaining about how i need to practice the piano and that my room was a mess, and that i needed to clean the playroom. So, i cleaned everything up... and played piano ( HA! only CHOICE SONGS!!) and then we went out for lunch... I ordered tapioca with my drink, and when mom saw that, she told me that she had heard that tapioca can cause cancer, ...

I was in the kitchen, my mother washing dishes, and my father emailing a very important person on his laptop. I was sitting, on the chair, drinking orange juice. A very nice, family atmostphere settled in, and we all enjoyed the peace and quiet. Drinking my sweet orange juice, I allowed my eyes to roam about until something sleek and black caught my eye. Catching the movement, I immediately glance down onto the floor to see what it was. Appalled to see it moving, I came upon the realization that this black object was indeed alive, and a scream escaped from within me. It was actually quite funny to see my mother wince horribly at my high pitch and my father suddenly jerk up from his intense email. Both swerved their heads toward me with priceless faces each wondering what the the scream was all about. With a shaking hand, I pointed at the 2 cm. bug (which is actually a lot bigger than most bugs you see nowadays). I saw their faces change from concern to disinterest in less than half a s...

My family and I went out for dinner, except my sister of course who was out with some friends. My mother always did say that she treated the house like a hotel... all she would do is sleep there and eat there. ^_^ So we went out for a nice dinner. We ordered many delicious dishes which were all consumed in a couple of minutes. At the end of dinner I observed that my father's belly was a little larger than usual. Laughing, I whispered loudly to my mother,"Look! Daddy's pregnant!" My mother laughed and said,"Nine months." Turning to my father, I asked him,"Boy or girl?" "Both!" my mother piped in. "How can they be both?" I questioned. "They're twins Daphne..." She shook her head as if I was supposed to understand it. I laughed teasingly at my father and peeked a glance at him. His face was one of his funniest ones. It seemed like he didn't understand what was going on at first, but then as he slowly began to get ...
