The Wok & The Bowl
April 16, 2008
So today I had dinner with my grandparents and my sister at Jack’s Place. My grandma ordered hor fun and it came in a wok that was not very small. So she wanted a smaller bowl to fish out smaller servings from the main. Wok was simply too intimidating, so we asked for a smaller bowl.
And when the bowl arrived, she didn’t use it. 10 minutes later, she pointed to that lonely bowl and said in hokkien, “They used to give soup. Now they don’t do that anymore. So kiam siap.”
My sister and I looked at each other and refrained. We loved our gramps too much. I wondered when i grow old, will i start becoming funny as well.
Been playing Suikoden V of late. Haven’t got time or desire to do anything else. This is my 3rd attempt and I am going to complete it this time. I have Oboro now. And the I’m down to my last 4 heroes (shula, sharmista, nifsara and shoon) When I’m done, I shall do a review.
