3 Strikes

Me, the Oaf, and my dad were walking back to SJMC after dinner. We were walking in front while dad was playing with his Pocket PC thing about 4 paces behind us.

Oaf: Jie, got longkang. Don't step in it.

Me: Ok, I saw it. *smile*

Walked for 5 seconds...

Oaf: Jie, longkang again.

Me: Ya la, can see.

Walked for 5 seconds...

Oaf: Jie, longkang.

Me: Oi, any moron can see that they actually spaced the drains out regularly here. Planned township dei. Moron in question can also predict where the next drain will be and avoid it la. You think I blind or stupid? Babi.

Pause for 1 second.

Oaf: Babi mia kakak.

Me: [CAST EVIL EYE LEVEL 1]
One step removed from you is good enough liao.

Walk for 5 seconds.

Oaf: Eh, belakang tu babi mia ayah.

Me & Oaf: giggle uncontrollably while walking to hospital lobby. Dad clueless behind us.

Oh ya, my mom confirmed dengue case. The tally so far is my granma, my bro, and now my mom. The odds of either me or my dad getting it is significantly higher already. The best news? No one came to fog our place since my granma's case. Anyway, the story about super-mutated mozzies appears to be playing out in my house. It's either that or someone has a serious grudge against our family and is exacting revenge in the sickest possible way.

This blog is now officially renamed The Dengue Blog.

Hope your mom gets well soon - And boy, your blog can be aptly renamed to The Dengue Blog indeed!

So sorry to know your mum has dengue; not a very pleasant thing to have. Hope she gets well soon.

@Narrowband:
We can be aptly renamed the Dengue family too. I wonder if we'll qualify for some sort of award if our entire family succumbs to dengue within a 6-month period. :p

@Fishtail:
Thank you very much. I'll tell her when we go visit tonight, though it's kinda weird. But then she's my mom, she's used to the weirdness. :)

Sorry to hear about your mom. May she get well soon, and may the mozzies prey on other families.

Baby mia (insert relative here)...
