Dad Says The Dardenest Things (Sometimes)

I recalled this phone conversation I had with my Dad last Sunday over the phone. My Dad had asked me to buy dog shampoo when I went to Sibu for my facials.

Location: Wonderpets, Sibu

Me: Nama bansa shampoo ukoi asuh nuan beli nya?
(What's the shampoo brand that you want me to get?)

Dad: Enda aku ingat, ba rumah Lin aku diatu.
(I can't recall, I'm at Lin's (my sister) house now)

Me: Bah, bakani aku ka meli deh enti enda temu bansa ni nya?
(How am I supposed to buy it if I don't know which brand?)

Dad: Nya botol iya, ke bisi gambar ukoi...
(The bottle has a picture of a dog)

Me: Enti shampoo ukoi mesti la gambar ia ukoi... (dalam hati: enda patut gambar unta..cess)
(If it's dog shampoo of course there'll be a dog in the picture... (mentally: would it be a camel? cess)

LOL!

Anyway, Happy Birthday Aba and Mak! (Sept 10 and Sept 11)

My Dad's 64 and my Mum's 58.

The Birthday 'Boy' and 'Girl'... Hehe

The food

Took them out for dinner last night. Actually wanted to have steamboat dinner but the restaurant was booked for a function so we went to a seafood restaurant. The food was ok, although I thought the sea cucumber soup wasn't sour enough. The butter prawns were good and I like the garlic kangkung. The perut ahem was just ok for me... Didn't take the midin though.
