New B*tch

I was standing in front of my gate when I saw a head hiding behind my car popping out sideways. I was only away from home for three days! THREE DAYS! And I have a new addition to my family...



My daddy adopted a new bitch female dog!

A new pet of course comes with a new name. I was on the phone with Bean asking him what suggestions he could think off.

Bean: Ermmm... What about Pat?
Me: Don't want lar... Sounds like pet pet!

Bean: Then ar... Kat lar...
Me: Huh? She's a dog. NOT a cat!!!!

Bean: Fish??
Me: Stop naming every animal on Earth!!

Bean: Okay... okay... I know! Kit Ling!!!
Me: WHAT???? ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY I'M A B*TCH????!!!!!!

P/S: My mummy named her as 'Gigi'.

Who Is He To Me?

My daddy has a sister who has a son and her son who got married has a son. My daddy's sister's son is my cousin. What about my daddy's sister's son's son? How is my daddy's sister's son's son related to me?

Complicated? Let me bring a diagram in to get a clearer picture.



B4 = my daddy
B3 = my daddy's sister
C4 = my daddy's daughter who is ME
C3 = my daddy's sister's son who is MY COUSIN
D3 = my daddy's sister's son's son who is MY COUSIN'S SON

The question is... How are C4 and D3 related?

Me: My nephew achieved straight A's in PMR.
Bean: Your nephew?
Me: Yah... my daddy's sister's son's son
Bean: NOOOO! Your nephew is the son to your brother. He is your second cousin!
Me: NOOOO! He is my nephew! He is definitely not my second cousin!

Both of us were so bothered by it we went to a bookstore to search for a dictionary to check it out when we were suppose to go shopping. Dictionary and shopping. I forgo shopping. OMG! What was wrong with me? Wahaha...

Anyway... Bean was partially right.

nephew noun
a son of one's brother and sister

Okay... He won in that case. However, I was partially right too! He is not my second cousin!

Second cousin is the second generation below the level of sibling. With reference to the diagram above, D1 and D3 are second cousins. For example, my cousin's children and my children are second cousins.

My cousin and I are first cousins (C1-C4). We are 'first' because we are one generation below the level of sibling (B1-B6). Our children (D1-D3) are 'second' because they are two generation below the level of sibling (B1-B6)

So how are my cousin's son and I related? How are C4 and D3 related?

We are called...

"first cousins ONCE REMOVED"

I am serious! No joke.

The ' once removed' term means that one of the two relatives is one generation removed from being a first cousin with each other. My cousin's son and I (C4 and D3) are ONE generation difference. Hence, ONCE removed.

I find this term weird though. The term 'once removed' sounds as though I have been eliminated from the family and somehow found a way to slide in back to the family by marrying don't know who or something.

If everybody knew this... what would my cousin's son be calling me? AUNT first cousin once removed???

Errr... Its okay... Just call me 'che che' =D

Wintermelon

Me: Hey mum! I arrived at Malacca!
Mum: Oh okay...
Me: Is SUPER HOT here!!!!

After my mum heard that phone call from me, she went straight to the market and bought a wintermelon. She double boiled the wintermelon famous known for 'soothing' (yun) for me on the day I was back from the trip.



Sigh... Isn't mummy the best in the world?

Family Day

Mum: Tomorrow we go eat Bak Ku Teh in the MORNING okay?
Me: MORNING? What time?
Dad: Sai meh kam jou hui? (Don't need to go so early!) Lunch time lar.
Mum: Ok lar... Ok lar... Let the bou pui lui (precious girl) sleep longer.

My mum woke me up at 11.00am. Phew! If not I think I will sleep in till noon! =P The original plan was to head to Klang to have Bak Kut Teh but I hate the freaking place cause is so darn bloody smelly. The weird part is no one else finds it smelly EXCEPT me! Am I the only one having sensitive nose or am I plain weird? My dad then suggested we go some other part of Klang to eat which I totally agreed on. Halfway during the journey I asked my dad, 'Where is the place?'. He said, 'Somewhere near BANTING!' WHAT???????????!!!! It took us an hour drive there! My tummy was making so much of noise by the time we arrived. Then the tau keh soh that was taking our order told us there were no more pig intestine and stomach! I traveled so far and she told me she did not have the stuff that I love the most! How disappointing?!

After the lunch that was my breakfast my dad drove us to the Buddhist temple that we went last Chinese New Year since it is nearby. I remembered it was raining heavily and the temple was packed with millions of people. When I was there yesterday it was a total opposite. The sun was burning hot and there was NO ONE! We spent some time exposing ourselves to the massive sun rays touring around the temple.



My dad thought I was having so much fun posing with the little monk statues he too wanted to participate!



Hehe... Isn't he cute?

While we were touring the temple I quietly snapped this picture...



They are getting sweeter by the day.

The last itinerary for the day was to shop at Sunway Pyramid. My mum wanted to check out the new phase. We arrived at that shopping complex with a super bad jam. However we managed to get into the parking. Inside the car park was so jam it was impossible to find parking. There were no cars leaving yet more cars are coming in causing more jam. My dad drove around the car park for like five minutes. He then became so frustrated he left the car park! You see... my dad is quite an impatient guy. I was surprise he agreed to go in the first place! Maybe he wanna sayang my mum since she wanted to go so much.

Too bad! My mum's wish to visit the Sunway Pyramid new phase failed!

Oh well... at least we visited the Sunway Pyramid new phase CAR PARK!
