happy birthday stories

it's my dad's birthday today.. he's 51 this year :P
went for dinner at swensens, food was pretty yuck and the menu was really really sad looking
anyways papa got into a talking mood and started telling us stories of our family, and when we were young, etc.. it was really funny how he said everything.. haha

like how he was just lying on the floor in the living room one day
and sasa as a toddler just waddles up to him, and without warning
BOOM! and slams her butt into her stomach and sits on him!
"wah! how to tahan u tell me" hohohoo.. i laughed till i nearly cried..

another time i was sulking cos my dad 'bullied' me ( he was just playing)
and sasa asked me "what happened"
"pa lor"
BAM!
she literally swung her whole arm and right smack into my dad's stomach. 0_o"
and proceeded to stare at him with an angry pose..
*guffaw*

and how, when i was a baby ( one year old or so), coming back from the babysitter's place,
her toys would lie all over the living room, and she'd gather as much toys as she could with her arms!! waaahahaha obviously not wanting me to touch them.. haha.. now who's the one who locked herself up in the master bedroom and tortured my toys!! <-- drew them with markers and sewed stupid patches on them..

how i couldnt really be weaned off the pacifier,
there was a little tear in it one day, and sasa TORE IT OFF!!!
and my mum gave the excuse "oh spoil already cannot buy another one" -_-"" i was a heartbroken little girl.. hahahaha

cos pa was a smoker in the past, and he was smoking in the kitchen one day..
think i could smell the smoke from the bedroom,
so i ran to the kitchen and SCREAMED "PA!"
hilarious man..

it's so funny the things we did when we were young..

then family stories...

Yeye (my paternal grandfather) had 2 dogs in the kampong (junction of Little Road and Joo Seng Road)
one was an Alsatian (German shepherd) and another a small fluffy white dog..
he said the dog's one of the fiercest dogs in the kampong and had to be muzzled whenever he was out.. haha
"in order to have a dog last time means that you are quite well-off" OOoOOooo
Yeye was a Magnolia ice-cream vendor who worked his way to be an ice-cream agent..by learning English from the colonialists at that time, and they kept giving him tips and stuff.. cool right.. haha.. the shop was ard Simpang Bedok.. and now it's some condo thingy..

the house they stayed in was double-storied and freaking air-conditioned lah!!! in the 50s to 60s leh!!! fwahhhhhhh gotta ask my auntie for the old photos and convert them to digital format before they rot any furthur...
wah.. i can imagine the life they had :) and they wanted to shift to a private house when the fortunes took a turn for the worse so sad.. but i cant remember where the new location was..

a sad event was that my late uncle had a nasty fall while ridding the ceiling of rats and stuff..
he fell from the ceiling.. and became a little damaged after that.. had to be in and out of woodbridge and had to be on constant medication to prevent relapses.. a little piece of new old news that i never knew about.. i just remember that he liked to 'cheong' red lights whenever he fetched us back from school :)

hmm and how another uncle was into drugs and stuff, marijuana, MX, etc, haha and how pa tried marijuana and couldnt get high, so he decided not to continue with it.. :) hengggg ah.. and how his friend asked him to try heroin, but he said "you try lah, then i try" and his friend became an addict :( while pa didnt try at all :)

interesting stories, brings a wonderful silently warm feeling :)
decided to put this up so i wont forget them :)
love hearing old stories.. haha laters!! :D
