Shopping with parents and bro

This is kinda a normal thing for every family, but definitely not for me. my dad doesn't usually go on shopping with us, he hates waiting, he hates giving opinion, and he hates shopping after all. there were only two times of shopping experience i remembered for 19 years of my life that were with dad. So, he decided that we went shopping at 12pm, 10/2/2007( Saturday), and at that time i hadn't gotten myself showered. I went to shower and it took only 10 minutes. by the time i got downstairs and ready to go, i couldn't catch sight of my dad.

mum:" ur dad went out already, you're too slow, he "bu shuang"!"
At that time, karma played trick on me, which were those sarcastic words from my younger brother which i always used on him :"so slow, bath also take so long time. walk here walk there in the morning but dun wan to bath!"

Dad came back 15 mins later, and we set off. passing by the toll, the staff handed him a ticket, but dad took out his "touch n go" and touched it, it showed rm0.00.
so the staff said again: "tak ada credit la!"
"yakah?"dad replied with some funny tone which i took it as a sarcastic chortle.
then he took the ticket and wound up the window, steered away the car. "ahaha, look at the staff"s face, blackened like "bao qing tian (majesty Bao)", i purposely fooled her one, i knew there is no credit left!"
"............." we kept ourselves silent.

he is my younger bro. obviously was sleeping in the car.

we headed to melaka, since it's the nearest complete shopping mall to my house. Did all the shopping for clothes for my dad and younger brother.
dad and mum. mum is choosing the clothes for bro, while dad is waiting surprisingly patiently. it's a good start.

He was throwing tantrum at that time for don't know what reason, only mum knew about it. his face stink badly.ahaha.

this is my dad. i don't look like him huh?well, he is trying on the "tang zhuang" that we called in mandarin. At last he chose a red one since there is no anymore M size for white color one.

so what did i get from that short period of rushed-shopping-hour? well, a nice pair of nike running shoes and a bag which cost around rm350. aiks, thanks alot dad. :)

next, we proceeded to Tesco for Chinese New Year grocery shopping. i supposed it's the first time my dad did grocery in his lifetime, and of course the first time he stepped into Tesco this kind of hyper market.he seemed excited?!! aha, i don't know.
i took a blank trolley and officially went into the grocery department. the journey started. dad started to fill in the trolley with lotsssss of thing, regardless it's needed or unneeded.

dad wanted to buy a whole box of beer, which are one box of carlsberg and one box of guinness.
"i tot u re working on ur beer belly?" it's only then he took only three pack of beer consisted of 6 can in each pack.

proceed to the department where fragrant rice are sold. the lady in the pic there asked my dad to buy rice, and i expected my dad to crap again with the lady.
"aiyo, i also duno how to buy la, so many kinds of rice, i nvr bought rice before, how to buy?"dad said.
the lady tried to introduce the different kind of rice and persuade my dad to buy.
"ask my wife better!"dad terminated the conversation with her.

the trolley was half-filled within the first ten minutes. pathetic me who was the one to in charge of the trolley.

they are brainstorming of which sizes of the sardine can they should buy. and once decided, dad just took five or six cans of them, awww, sardine fish will extinct?

dog's food. dad wanted to buy the largest one, of which cost us rm181 something. well, when my mum is lazy to cook, humans can be fed by dog's food also. branded dog food wei!!!

well, the good thing done my dad who took everything including the unneeded thing and just tucked them into the trolley. it's damn heavy.

me and my younger brother. do we look alike? aha, many did say so.
