My dad is a cheapo, but wenyao is worse..

Was working diligently today until an email popped up at my workplace. I'm seriously diligently working!! Especially since Zhiyuan (aka FJJ) is out for 2 weeks on reservist, and I practially have no one to suan...

Well, back to the email. It was from my dad...subject: Xmas gift and it reads...

Message Classification: Restricted

I have requested CPF Board for waiver of education loan repayment to be made by you. This is the acknowledgement number


Transaction Description
Transaction No. #######
Waiver of Education Loan Repayment #######

My mom was CC-ed in the email, so I sent a reply back

......
Regards,

Zhengyi

After which my mom replied with this.

Such a big X'mas Gift..................
Where is mine?


On seeing this, I helped her reply.

Mummy wants an LV bag. 1000 bucks. 30 years of marriage, that’s $33 per year.. cheap purchase. hahaha.

My dad's turn.

You already have me....... So greedy.............

This time my turn.

She has you but not reaping anything... you are like a plant but not bearing fruits... So the bag can be your fruit...
Anyway this one not considered xmas gift. You already said to be fair to me and bro you will pay our school fees, so technically I paid you extra for the one year! Total $2000!!! You can actually buy her 2 LV bag with that money!


Anyway my extra 200 bucks will be transferred to you still every month, not to CPF but to your personal account, because somebody just asked me to pay for all phone bills...so in a way, that's your xmas gift! And you can transfer that to her xmas bag...

All in all..i'm still the one paying for your gift to her.. so if you really want to give me a gift, you can throw in one LV bag for me as well. Small gift for 400 per month leh!!! Multiply by 12, you get4800!!! =)

OK so one LV bag for me, another one for mummy. Deal!

Mummy, we can go shopping soon!!!


After my long long email, this is his final reply...

No a big deal. I will give each of u a L(ess) V(aluable) Bag.

Me: (-_-''')

When wenyao and Jiajun came and fetch me from work, they had already heard part of the story from Uncle Raymond, whom they met outside my office, while on his way to dinner. So Wenyao was laughing away at my dad's answer.

When we went home after meeting Zeming at Ikea for dinner, he planted this as his msn nick.

I'm so glad my gf wants an LV bag (since it doesn't cost much to buy a Low Value bag)

Diao..my dad say less value, he said low...OMG!

Anyway I realised I forgot to put an important person in my Xmas list. Shitty!

My dad bought tickets for the Disney Live Mickey Magic Show at the indoor stadium for my kiddy cousins. Will be bringing 5 of them for the 330pm show this Fri. So exciting!!! Can't believe how my parents and I are going to handle 5 kids together! Gin (11), Sheanne (8), Keanne (5) Zidane (4) and Kai-ann (2). Bah! We are so adventurous!!!
