Meet The Parents
Busy week it has been.......two projects to hand up this week and one more to hand up next week........Guess who I'm gonna do my project with next week?Yup you guessed it.....Poop face.
I'm absolutely overjoyed that I have to see poop face during my study week next week..... so incredibly,unbelievably,positively delighted at seeing that walking "solar eclipse for a face".My heart is filled with so much joy and happiness.....that right now,I could eat an extra large packet of tasty mothballs and wash it down with a nice jug of dynamo detergent......
Spent my weekend interviewing my dad for my service management project and for my two classmates, because they could'nt find any sales manager in time.Being the kind,generous and downright wonderful soul that I am, Of course I agreed to help my two classmates....let's just call them Gniliuh and Ydnac respectively......dammit...that's little bit obvious huh...Ah Forget it!!! just call them Huiling and Candy!!!hahaha....
So I was supposed to get one of my uncles to help one of them with the interview, but then he went overseas I think and so I could'nt get him for the interview.....so three of us were all gonna end up interviewing one person, my dad.So Huiling sent me her list of 6 questions and later on Candy sent me her list of questions to my e-mail account.....she messaged me to inform me about it and I messaged "Ok....your welcome" backto her before looking at her list of questions.........she had 30 questions!!Jesus Christ Almighty........I nearly fainted and let out a big "DAMMIT!!" when I saw the two pages of questions......because I was gonna have a hard time explaining to my dad how my 8 interview questions swelled up to Almost 50 questions(30+6+ 12)
Originally I told my dear old dad that I was gonna interview him and I had about 8 questions, then after that I told him another friend of mine wanted to interview him too(the other would be interviewing my uncle at first) but then the uncle thing did'nt work out so I had to pluck up my courage and inform my dad that there were gonna be 3 interviews and 50 questions and that he would probably have to be looking at me instead of watching the National day parade for the next 2 hrs....here's an excerpt of the conversation we had(All material are Reprinted with-out the approval of the Mr and Mrs Tan):
Me:" Dad.....I'm gonna do the interview now ok?"
Dad;"Ok...how many questions you're asking?....I want to watch the NDP parade on tv."
Me:" Uhhhh...... ..fifty."
Dad:" FIFTY?! I thought you said 8 questions and another 8 for your friend?That's 16 questions,boy...not 50!"
Me:" Yar...but you see there's been a small change....now there are gonna be three people who want to interview you and 50 questions to answer."
Dad:" From 1 person and 8 questions to 3 people and 50 questions? !You know you're really very troublesome and damn kaypoh!!
Me:" No choice......oh and I also need name cards and information on your company background dad."
Dad:" Mum!!Your dear son want to ask me 50 questions......the Prime minister of Singapore, Goh Chok Tong is having his final National Day Parade and I can't watch it in peace now"
Mum" Boy ar you're always doing last minute work, why you only doing the interview now...you should have done it a long time ago....you're forever like that.."
Me: "Sorry....but I have to hand up my project this week....mum.........*(Gives big,sad,pitiful,watery big bambi eyes expression to my mother)*
Mum:" Aiyar ok lar......Dad!Just do the interview quickly lar you can still catch the NDP....and there will be retelecast what.."
Dad:"Arrrrrrr....ok!!faster lar.....your mum huh whole life helping you......what questions you want to ask?"
Aaahhhhhh.....Nice to know that my old childhood tricks still work on my wonderful mother...Well at least the SM project will be over in two days and once I hand up the Macom project next friday......I will have two weeks of holidays for the first time in a long,long time........so the old saying is indeed true....."There's a silver lining(Two weeks holidays) between every dark cloud (Poop Face)."
