Fader dai


Fathers day is around the corner.

So as you might have guessed, this entry is a tribute to them.

Yes the self-loathing provider, disciplinarian and the one holding diplomatic immunity in the house hold.

My dad is legally Javanese but stereotypically Malay. I have a joke which revolves around my dad and what a pain a “Malay” father can be. But suprisingly when I share them with my friends of different ethnicity, most of them said their dads are also similar. So if the following of what I am going to say suits the description of your dad also.. then just know that you are not alone. We all have to put up with another version of him at our own homes. J

The joke goes like this:

Lets say you are watching TV, and you are sitting on the floor with a mug of your favorite chilled beverage beside you. and Dad comes and accidentally spilled your drink.

This is what he'll scream:





“EH yew no brain or what??!! Put the cup on the centre of this planet!!”


Ok now the roles are reversed, your dad is watching TV with the beverage and you are the one who accidentaly knocked his mug over.






 Dad will then screech: "Eh dumb-dumb! yew walk see wit your nose or eyes!!??"


And if he was the one who knocks over his own beverage... he would exclaim...



"Alamak...."

Happy fathers day you all :)
