Yesterday(Wednesday). My dad suddenly announced that we were going to Singapore the next day(Thursday). He went "hey charity,lets go to Singapore tomorrow"....... Okay first thing you need to know about my dad is that he likes to plan thoroughly first before doing anything. And this trip to Singapore was most definitely not planned(or i would've known bout it for months or weeks before)...... So all i did was stare at my dad.. and stare.. and stare.. still staring..(oh i was gaping by the way.. yeap.. mouth wide open). I was speechless i tell you!!



I snapped my mouth close and start asking.."Whaaattt?? Whereeee?? Wheeennn?? Whyyyy??"
Then suddenly i had an idea why. You see,i was suppose to go to Genting with my school friends today until tomorrow. My parents said yes(after fighting for like two weeks!). Then at the last minute they said no(i got lots of beating from my friends after getting that answer i tell you! The beater? thanks to adrian =.=') And soooo,i thought he(my dad)wanted to make it up to me for not letting me go to genting with my friends by suddenly announcing that we're going to Singapore. Well,that was what i thought anyway. Hah!

So when my dad finally had a chance to answer me,i was waiting for him to say exactly that. Actually what came out of his mouth was......"we're going to Singapore for a funeral"...... And so,the staring and gaping starts again... But in my head i was more like... "wth??WTH???funeral??So much for an unplanned holiday and feeling sorry for me.."


Finally,i understood everything.. It wasn't because they wanted to make it up to me for not letting me go to Genting.. sheesh.. noooo.. It was because my dad's 'kau poh'(aunt i think)passed away. So much for making it up to me. Oh well. I guess i was hoping for too much.. Anyway,my dad asked me whether i wanted to go or not.. Well,as you all know(if you dont,you need to get a life. No seriously,you do.)summer splash is comingg.. And i already made plans to go with my friends this saturday. So i was torn in between wanting to go to Singapore and going to sunway lagoon. Then i figured,since i already made plans to go to sunway lagoon with my friends,i shall stick to the plan like a good friend(otherwise i might get beaten up again..maybee).


When i told my dad that,at first he wasnt happy about it and said..."how often do you get to go to Singapore huh??? Don't be stupid!"... Then eventually he said fine,i dont have to go. Only him and my aunt will go(my mum didnt want to go either. I think its coz she doesnt wanna spend her day off depressed or something). Then i asked my dad how many 'kau pohs' he has.. He answers me this..."i have three". I then asked..."who are they?"....He answers... "I have one in the US,one just died(the Singapore kau poh),one died last week(the Kl kau poh).... You might not get it. But i did coz i was right there when he said it. And i know that its sad thing to hear that my dad's aunts died,but i couldnt help myself. I almost LOUGHED OUT LOUD..! I mean come on! How often do you hear that kinda sentence?? Haha! Thank God i managed to keep it in or he'd probably kill me cause he was really sad that they died.




Okay there's a reason why i'm talking about this Singapore thing. But the reason shall be told in the next post.
