and you wonder how i even passed my chinese...

so tis the bak kuah season...
my dad and bro flew in just time for all the ching chong shindig...
the year's cny is extra sweet because we finally fully grasp the concept of cny reunion...
i think we should be in mac's prosperity burgers advertisements...

it'll go something like that...

Me: Niang, zhing nian the tuan yuan fun bu tai yi yang...
Me: Mother, this year's reunion dinner is different...

Mother: Er Zi, zhi yao chuan jia zhai ni xin li jiu xing le... (Tear drop glisten in her eye)
Mother: Son, as long as the whole family is in your heart, that's all that matters...

Both mother and son gaze away...

Cut to other son freezing ass off in paris, eating a rock hard baguette...

Cut to father sweating off in saudi dessert...

Cut back to the dinner...

Mother and son's wishful gaze is interrupted by the opening of the door...

Father and other son burst through the door dramatically with luggage in hand...

Father: Wo the qing ai the jia ren, wo zhong yu dao le...
Father: My beloved family, i've finally made it...

Other Son: Wo zai pa li dou mou de xiang nian ni men, zhong yu ke yi yi zia tuan yuan le...
Other Son: When i was in Paris i've missed you all, finally our whole family can all reunite...

Father and other son joins mother and son on the dinner table as they begin to tuck into their steamboat...

Doorbell rings, and the family looks at each other wondering who might that be...

Son runs to the door and mac Delivery guy stands out holding a prosperity meal...

Son: KAO BEI! TUI LEI LOU MOU! CHEEE BEEEEI!
Son: Oh its the mac delivery guy...

i'm telling you we were made for this!




noticed how i've left out my sis...
she's quite a redundant useless figure on and off camera...
so decided to kill her off...
its sadder that way...

so for the first few moments when they came back...
there were feelings of how we could even manage to get by without them...
then came the long weekend...
then we wondered when the hell were they going to hop on that plane back...

heh...
family...
can't live with 'em...
can't live without em'...
