Every time I get home from work/school or they get home, there are a few questions that my grandmother/parents never fail to ask.  I’m sure they do it because they want to show they care, or they just want to start a conversation.  It should be obvious by now that they won’t get me to socialize with them by asking the following questions.

Question 1. “FAN JOR LAY LA?” (ie, “YOU ARE BACK ?”)
No. I am not. That is why I am walking into the house.

Question #2. “JONG MAY CHUT HUI AH?” (ie, “YOU’RE NOT GONE YET?”
Um. Yeah sure, I’m not really here.

Question #3. “YEE. LEY HAI DOE AH?” (ie, “OH, YOU ARE HERE?”)
No, really, I am not HERE here, but I am in this room, or well. here.

Question #4. “JONG MAY FUN AH?” (ie, “YOU’RE STILL NOT ASLEEP?”)
My eyes are open, I am sitting upright in front of my laptop, but no, I am asleep. 

And they must ask these questions with an angry aggressive tone.

I’m sure there are more questions similar to the ones above, and I really hope that this will stop because crap crp modulons are already driving me crazy enough. 

Do your very Chinese parents/grandparents do this to you?

where does my brother find all these annoying songs?

this one is the song for Unicorn Robot Attack, an online game all about unicorns and rainbows.  all it’s missing are leprechauns and happy children dancing in a circle…

ever heard of zakka? bentos? Shinzi Katoh?

Shinzi Katoh is a well-known Japanese designer of zakka, including bento boxes, water bottles, lunch bags, stationary, and more.  It’s not only useful, but also quite adorable.  i’m gonna start collecting his things in hopes that they will appreciate in the future, sorta like a dead painter’s paintings.  :)
