My mum has issued a 'get-home' order on me, because it's my elderly grandma's birthday tomorrow. The place where we will dine is at the usual chinese restaurant at Toa Payoh. It is the 'whole family get-together' kind that usually occurs about 3 times a year. I would say it is a welcomed break for me, because the days spent mugging in this school is growing dust onto me. Good food might taste strange for a moment, considering the lack of timely and more importantly, proper meals the past month. In these gatherings, I can very afford to look sian and quiet, smiling forcefully at any comments made on me. The humor factor is very evident in the family line, especially my corny uncle who often doesn't fail to trigger me off. I still remembered the gathering (same purpose) last year when the food took a long time to come. He gestured for the waitress to come and crapped a whole lot before claiming to her that the family is rushing for a flight. And when the food finally came, while the poor waitress was attempting to serve us the hot plate of steamed fish over my young cousin's head, she mumbled out, "小弟啊, 烧啊, 不要乱动" as she focused her attention on cutting the fish. To which my uncle cheekily replied, "小姐啊, 你在跟我儿子讲话, 还是在跟你的鱼讲?
