A Spicy Remedy

Posted on July 7, 2010 at 05:33pm

My dad posted this on his facebook after his team Argentina lost to Germany in the world cup this year:

“It has not been a very good day for me, first my favourite soccer team lost in a humiliating way, and then my daughters soccer team in ohio lost the first two games. to over come my sadness i had alot of tabasco sauce.”

Passive Aggressive Pink Note FTW

Posted on July 7, 2010 at 05:29pm

My neighbors have 5 Pomeranians that never shut up, so one day, my dad got fed up. I came home to find our fence beautifully decorated with: “NO BARKING DOGS ALLOWED” with the bright pink paint leftover from my room. I found it funny that there was a “beware of dog” sign next to it. :)

Subject: It’s a Boy!!!!

Posted on July 2, 2010 at 11:38am

A great exchange between my pregnant sister in law, fob father in law and my wife…

Pregnant sister in law: Just had perinatologist appt. It’s definitely a boy! Brain, heart, kidneys, spine, arms, legs are all normal!
Dad: Oh, Boy!  Have you decided his name yet?  Email us the picture, mom and I like to see the little “extra piece”
My wife: I’m actually a bit disturbed…
Pregnant sister in law: Very weird comment from him, as usual…

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,

Posted on June 20, 2010 at 04:56pm

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 : ?

Posted on June 14, 2010 at 11:42am

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

Posted on June 9, 2010 at 08:21pm

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).

It is unethical to Skype at work; over!

Posted on May 28, 2010 at 12:51pm

My mom went on a trip to Tokyo and I saw her on Skype, so I thought I’d talk to her to see how much fun she was having. Instead, my dad signed on at home and this was the response I got:

Me: mama liu!
Dad: since mama liu is in tokyo japan w/ auntie, she certainly did not bring laptop, will not talk by skype. this is her groom simon papa at home. while at work, be focus, don,t let leisure mood ruine ethics n morality.
Me: LOLL okay!
Dad: thank u for ur attention. over!

Kind of like the Navi World in Avatar?

Posted on May 23, 2010 at 11:45am

My dad believes his late brother was struck down from beyond the grave by my grandmother because he argued with her while she was still alive. He also offers Grandma’s spirit some of his food before he eats. He’s been in the U.S. for nearly 50 years but is still wonderfully fobby!

Hi Amie,

Heading to Corpus now, will be at job site tomorrow, the assignment is going to be done in a couple of days, I should be back and stay put in the office by this coming Tuesday afternoon, hope do not get lay-off, I (and you too) should pray to Grand-Ma to use her super-natural power to helping us (she is with us all the time — I worship her with my dinner every night before I eat), believe me she is around (see what happened to your uncle). There is a super-natural in this world —- you better believe it.

Take a good care of yourself.

Love,
Dad
