Loading ...My dad is your typical asian father — not affectionate on the surface, but always prepared to plan for the important milestones in his daughter’s life: Marriage and career. Here are two very heartwarming (or not, depending on how you see it) attempts to show that he cares. One is a matchmaking email with photos of the lucky lad, and the other a text message where he’s trying to hook me up with a post-grad job.

(Case in point, he types certain words in “code” so I can know for sure that it’s him talking and that someone else hasn’t stolen his phone and is trying to manipulate me, thus the “LoVe”, “DaD”, and “LaLa”.) These conversations take place over BBM…
Dad: LaLa, Please DO NOT place your date of birth even if it is not a complete one on your FACEBOOK and LINKEDIN. If any one knows your date of birth and one other personal info about you, they are dangerous.
Me: Ok relax
Dad: I am not relaxing and you know that.
The next day…
Dad: Hi LaLa. How are you doing? I am still not relaxing.
Me: I’m good. I had a presentation today and it went well. You’re still not relaxing? You need to take a chill pill!
Dad: I DO NOT have a chill pill!
Dad: Change your BD on both FB and LI!

Dad: All people here talk in french such as ‘Woala’. Common to lo fu?
Sister: That’s not how you spell that. It’s Comment Allez-vous?
Dad: C’est la vie woala Aurvoire!
Translation:
Woala – Voila!
Common to lo fu – Comment allez-vous? (How are you)
Aurvoire – Au Revoir (Bye!)
Later on, he texted me…
Dad: Hi, Comment to lu fu?

Hi boo how was ur visit with dentist?
Also couple of point:
1- could u please take 10 min to clean ur room and get ur launch box to kitchen
2- plan your launch
During the week, I had neglected doing several chores, so my father was just making sure I was getting everything done. Either that, or he firmly believes that after taking AP Physics, I can make it to Mars and back.
