And this is what will happen when Dad decides to be in IDLE mode...

MOMZ ATTACK!!!

Mom said, 'Really look like a MAD-MAN!'

Still, I think the best looking specimen to wear the wig is Judith's teddy!

Mom and I went to Jaya Jusco to get a new microwave oven seeing as the old one can't be fix - how unfortunate, Dad! Mom have been eyeing on a particular one since the old one broke down so here it is...

...used to be RM599 but J-Card members get to buy it at RM499 only.
(good deal and good timing on the death of the old one)

...there's Dad studying the glossaries on " how tos' "

Inspection Time!

GONE IS THE OLD, COME IS THE NEW;
THE OLD CAN'T BE KEPT, SO ADIEU

My Dad Almost Grilled Himself

Dad has been trying to save the microwave oven from being trashed or maybe from avoiding to buy a new one. Haha! Yesterday, he changed the fuse and it popped. Today, he went all the way to the Jalan Pasar to get a higher voltage fuse. Since, it POPPED yesterday, we were very excited to see what it'll do this time.

There's Dad fixing the fuse the '3rd' time and should be the last time!

zZzZ... POP-POP!

Haha the POP lasted longer this time. Maybe about a second and a half. There were sparks and zapping sounds coming out from the oven. So, I guess there will be a new microwave oven replacement afterall. :p

Grilling Dad Softly

Yesterday we grilled Dad. Not in food sector but mentally by using his credit card. Haha! Mom and I decided to do a little AV shopping at Jaya Jusco since Dad's Hi-Fi is dead so as his DVD player and room TV. Mom and I wants to start a 'karaoke' session to entertain outselves. Guess that's what housewives do to keep themselves company once the men are out of the house. But Dad's retired.... but he always hides in his 'den'; that's what Mom calls it anyway. He sits in front of his PC and laptop and just glued to it. So, he's like in the house but invisible.

Ok back to the grilling of Dad. Mom managed to assert Dad to get us the 'karaoke' mic with built-in 2046 songs which cost RM998. It was for Mom's Vday Present and also for me; part of my 24th Bday Present. Dad also point out to Mom that this also includes the allowance of breakfast, lunch and dinner whole year round. Well..... Mom said, N-O-T!

At first, we did wanted to get the mic but if we're not careful, a drop of the mic will KO the whole set. Gone will be, Dad's $$$. So, Mom and I planned to buy a Hi-Fi cum 'karaoke' station which is much more worthy and cheaper. We didn't tell Dad about our plan yet :p.

We chose Pioneer after trying out different brands.. and Mom decided to get Dad a mini Hi-Fi to replace the one he had in the library which was dead, so dead. We chose Samsung comparing to JVC and SONY because the sound is excellent and clearer than the others. We spent about 2 hours at the AV section. I think we grilled the promoter there too but he didn't go away empty handed. We popped a red packet at him.

When we reached home, I called Dad to come help out with the stuff. When I opened the boot...

his eyes opened wide; almost popping out
he gushed, he 'OH NO, what have yall' done?'
'Why did you buy these?'
'How you know how to choose?'

:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

-Our Pioneer-
DVD Player, Karaoke Mode with the X-BOOM and very good Bass.

Dad bla bla bla...

And etc... hehe! Oh that's the Samsung that Mom got him in return of what he got for us. Half of the price of our Pioneer. His Samsung also plays DVDs' plus the ease of USB ports.
