mum n dad's story

after dinner with jo, poh n carynn, we went for coffee. oh...ya! jo's back...heeee.....she comes for a seminar. she craved for coffee after dinner...she found a coffee maker but no coffee at home...too bad..so we went out...me?! of course not having coffee...it's iced choc...hahahaa....

we talked about our funny, interesting parents. after talking with them, i decided to tell the interesting story of them...i dun mean to make fun on them, just feel like keeping their story...


day 1,
stubborn father reluctant to rest, ended up sick and trapped in the apartment the rest the day...
mum n i went to sushi train for dinner without dad...she kept complaining about him...

day 2,
their journey started. 1st station, bunnings and ikea...haaa....bunnings, a place that dad has to go in Aus. when we 1st get in sydney, uncle james said there was sth spoiled then my dad said go to bunnings to get sth. my cousins were shocked when hearing 'bunnings'...without resting, he straight to bunnings...his holiday is doing more work...

they found their own way there by bus. learning to buy ticket, read the board at the bus stop, getting down, playing the 2h trip with the bus ticket from the bus from a random indian man. was quite worried and felt bad cos cannot bring them along. but they wanted one. i have told them not to come, nth much in adelaide, but they still wanted to come..oh well....buying sth back...

day 3,
went back to the same place to return sth. dad said he has only explore 40% of bunnings. spending the remaining time in the food court of ikea. ordering a cup of soft drink, refilling for like 8 times...worth the price he paid...china man...

mum had a chat with a local taking about his life working in china as a lecturer, earning a lot but could only be a cleaner in the airport in Adelaide....hmmm....is she hinting sth? a random fellow walked to my mum n asked a weird question :"are u from china?" then walked away...mum was pointing n shouting at him asking the same ques....y she did so? cos she said since he asked her 1st then she just asked him back...=.=" ya this is my mum....

day4,
marion. they went there on their own with the bus timetable. mum was randomly grabbing anyone on the bus and chat...asking a student from china to work hard...

day 5,
tea tree plaza. i tot they din get to there. but my dad was so smart, he grabbed the timetable that i left on the table and found their own way there...luckily, they have seen the orban...surprisingly, the same shop in marion and tea tree plaza selling the same thing but at a very different price.

y asking them to all those places? shouldn't shopping centre in msia better? shouldn't i ask them to harbour town or handorf? believe me, they don't like those. they are more interesting in new and different thing, high tech stuff...they bought a lot...think they bought about 40kg of hardware n gardening stuff things. trying their best to feed all those things with few bags....

all the while, mum kept complaining about dad when they get back from their adventure.
'he in menopause lo, so shy, dun dare to ask ppl, scared to buy ticket on his own...etc....'
mum too actually, acting so crazily...=.="



a typical post of them...standing still

check on the carry bag of my dad....that is the bag they use for shopping, to bring back a lot of stuff. they like it very much...no matter what dad wanna bring it along. just dunno y, he looked like a china man, tong san lou....a typical china man...hhaaaa....


doesn't my grandma looked like a little girl?
