Special Durian

What's so special about this durian? It is special because it was bought specially for me. =)


He is already 80 yrs old, but he is going strong and healthy. You will know when he speak on the phone, he is loud and clear and I think even the neighbour can also hear him clearly. Especially when he scold people, he is really zhong qi shi zu (中气十足）. He is very particular about everything, and to him everything has to be prim and proper. You will get scolding from him even for very small things, for example, if you don't back the phone charges after using the cordless phone, or u don't bring back the cup to kitchen after drinking water etc...

But he has another side of him. He express his love for the family members in his quite way where people can't see and but one can feel his care and concern. He doesn't like us to go out at night, because he said it is not safe (even we are already adult). When the maid climb up ladder to clean cupboard or window, she will get scolding from her as he said it is too dangerous for her to do so.

Last Friday, I went back to Johor to stay with my in law for a few days before I left for UK. Yesterday morning, he bought me a durian (one and the only one). He said my mother in law should not take too much durian due to her health, so he bought only one durian for me. Although this is an ordinary durian (and actually I don't really fancy durian), I am very touch by his kind gesture.

老人家通常不善于表达他们对子女们的爱。其实在他们严厉的外表隐藏了一颗关爱的心。
