My Dad is a Fob

Loudy Disturbing Neighbors

Posted on June 27, 2010 at 08:03pm

My best friend and I were rooming together for a Church retreat. Upon returning to our dorm, we found that my dad had slipped a note underneath our door reminding us to be more considerate of our neighbors. He definitely put a lot of thought into this. Unfortunately, the thoughtful letter reminding us to keep down the “noise and giggle” only spurred more “noise and giggle.”

Dear Literate Dog,

My dad and dog have a hate-hate relationship; he’s the only person she barks at. My dad has been trying to get her to stay downstairs during the day to minimize accidents. I came home to this sign. I asked him why he wrote a sign and he just said it works…

World Cup : Beauty Pageant :: Soccer Player : ?

The other day, my dad and I were watching the England vs. USA World Cup match. We were discussing their jerseys, and this is what he said.

Dad: I don’t like the America shirts.
Me: Aw, but I like their jerseys.
Dad: I don’t. They look like American pigeon.
Me:…Pigeons?
Dad: Yeah. Stripe make them look like Mrs. Oklahoma. MISS AMERICA!!!! Like that.

Turns out he meant pageants.

Dad Don’t Like Yo Bling

Hi Vinc,

I hope that you have removed your ear rings as Mum spoke to you on Skype & phone for the following 12 reasons:

1. Not appropriate as a professional body (future dentist)
2. Not represent good image (only bad, and not ordinary people wear it)
3. Bring your value down(mostly trade-man, clubbing people wear it, officer, bankers don’t wear it)
4. People can perceive and interpret wrongly.
5. Family and relative feel shock to see strange things on you
6. Keep classic look is better, eccentric/weird look create tension, doubt and suspicion and may create problem in crime scene (make attention to Police)
7. Out of fashion, no one wear them at work. Television presenters don’t wear them to read news. Government body don’t wear them.
8. Not cool anymore, backward thinking. Peter Tran, your cousin don’t wear and die his hair anymore due to health conscious and professional image, not suit for formal dress
9. Our church theme and culture don’t support it
10. Broken promise with us when you said you won’t before moving to Cairns, but you did
11. Cost to maintain, and wasting time to look after.
12. What did it make you to put ear ring? For what reason? Is it a valid reason?

Shopping lesson #1: Never pay full price

Posted on June 5, 2010 at 03:07pm

A frugal lesson disguised in an email:

Lucy and Mommy went shopping at Stanford yesterday and Mommy got Isaac a nice outfit that was 50% off (never pay full price, always get things on sale if possible).
