Blog of the Month

Kev's Blog of the Month comes from a friend of mine. Torn between his addiction towards the miniature chimney that projects from ones mouth and his parents...he vents out his frustration....

WHEN MR ARMY OFFICER MET MS SCHOOL TEACHER


Tonite was the first time having dinner at home with the parents. The last time was a bout 5 months back i think. A simple dish of fried meehoon with nuggets never tasted so good But as usual came the usual family drama.

My parents found out about my less-than-desired nicotine breaks for the 2rd time. (1st time was in 2003 which erupted in a very emotionally taxing outcome). Somehow the topic drifted to smoking, alcohol, road-blocks and Where Young People Like To Hang Out On A Weekend Night.


Mr Wong : "Boy. are you still smoking? I thought I asked you to stop already" (in gruff ex-army officer commanding tone)
Mrs Wong : "mumbles, mumbles. something something reduces lifespan about 10 yrs. No wonder you always run out of money end of the month. I know you've been slipping a few red bills from my hidden stash. Don't think I didn't notice"


Thank God it drifted off to my dad's also less-than-desired drinking habits.


Went out to Alexis for a quick drink later. Supposed to do work but the heat is my room is so stifling. )How did I ever survive the past 23 yrs of my life without air-conditioning????)


Wong Junior : "Going out for a while. Too hot la. Kenot do work la. Macam sauna upstairs."
Mr Wong : (also in gruff ex-army officer commanding tone) See. Boy going out for cigarette break again.



Hai lat.

Very sharp he is. I think he knows my job doesn't require me to stay back until 1am EVERY NITE. :)
