you know how some parents really love to BOAST big time about their children's achievements? i fucking hate that. why do that? would it reflect on them that they've raised their children well? aren't the achivements the children's own? or did they pay and pave the road of success for their kids?

here are some of the snatches of boasts that i've heard either by a thick skinned parent(s) or when i can't help but overhear (there's no need to eavesdrop, they normally talk on top of their booming voices when it comes to this part of the conversation). i've used italics at the to denote what my thoughts were in response, and in certain cases, my actual response to the speaker.



parent: my son has his own company. he's the big boss now

me: ya, ya i heard. pirated DVDs are such a lucrative business now. he must look good now, with all the weight he lost running from authorities, no more ugly like last time. sure can finally come out of the closet and find a boyfriend now

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

parent: oh, did you hear? my son's gone to berkeley

me: really?? they are really helping out society nowadays. didn't know that they hired perverts as janitors

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

parent: my daughter's husband is a german. his family's got loads of land in germany. they have an agricultural produce business and a large animal farm. he's incharge of the animal exports since he's been around the farm from young and has a way with the livestock

me: animals? ahh.. that explains the position i saw your daughter in the other nite when her bedroom door came ajar


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

parent: my son and daughter-in-law makes loads of money just for a few days work

me: so.. how's daddy mac pimp and mama whore doin' nowadays? how are your united nation's grandchildren coming along? schooling yet?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

parent: my boy started associating pictures to words at the age of two. i used my books and magazines to start him off. he's up to more than a hundred words already

me: what are new words this week? pussy, dick, fellatio and 69?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

parent: my son's thinking of getting a new car. you know lah, businessman, must have a nicer luxury car to look presentable to this prospective clients

me: luxury car??? wah, he's taken his conning scams to a higher level i see

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

parent: my daughter's famous now. travelling here and there. everytime i open any newspaper, sure to see her face

me: all these years, and she's still running drugs? when was she caught? which court did the reporters take her photo at?

five little piggies

this is a random conversation between me and myself. all of us talk to ourselves in our heads and sometimes even out loud. doesn't mean that we need psychiatric help but if we talk to more than one alter-ego, then...

when i talk to myself, sometimes it's the practical side talking to the emotional side, sometimes i'm scolding myself for some boo boo or other, sometimes i'm just plain trying to talk some sense into my own thick skull.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

me: Oi! those fellas doing the gutter left already ah?

other me: no sound also, sure left already. leave also never even say anything. ceh!

me: you think what, must inform you of everything ah?

me: why those people like that photo i took? not very nice also

other me: what? cannot is it? must give reason ah?

me: no lah, that one not arty farty, so plain only. why didn't they like this one? nicer what

other me: people like you photo somemore you ask so many questions. shaddup already
