The next phase in life

It happened a couple of weeks back.

My dad (usually the quiet one) decided to 'talk' to me about my current status of relationship with my boyfriend.

The conversation goes on like this:

Dad: So, what do you think about YH?
Me : (rather stunned look)
Dad: So?
Me : He's a great guy. That's why your daughter is going out him.
Dad: Is he the kiamsiap (stingy) type?
Me : Huh? *scratching head*
Dad: Is he the kiamsiap type? (question with a hint of impatience thrown in)
Me : No-lah! I think I'm more stingy than him.
Dad: Good. Guys that are very stingy are no good one...
Dad: So, have you all talk about getting married?
Me : (looking bewildered.. again) Aiyoh, no lah... Still early mah!
Mom: What do you mean EARLY? YOU ARE ALREADY 31 YEARS OLD (for the record, I am still 29 years old.. well.. at least until end of the year. Chinese mothers have the knack of adding another year to the children's age).
Me : Err.. not ready yet lah.
Mom: (she was looking really fierce by now) Have to be ready one mer??????? Decide then just plan lah. You know how much work goes into planning a wedding ar?
Me : *looking rather stunned*
Dad: Yeah lah, have to decide on the date, have to go and look for house.. aiyoh, a lot of work lah.
Mom: And both of you are not getting younger. Also, not good for ladies to give birth so late. AY (her colleague) is 29 years old and she has already given birth to 3 kids. (by this time, one would know what to expect my mom to 'lecture' on)...
5 minutes later (after the 'lecture')
Dad: I agree with your mother. I think you all better get married next year. Got a lot of work to do. You know your auntie was pestering me everytime when she called us about you getting married. She has already mentioned that she'll charter the whole bus for her family to come down from Singapore for your wedding.
Me: Wah.. serious ar?
Dad: Of course lah. What do you think????? So how? If you are shy to talk to him, I WILL TALK TO HIM.
Me: *horrified look* NO NO NO... don't scare him. I'll talk to him.
Mom & Dad: *relieved looks*
Me: *stunned look*

What a night....
