IN MODERATION

Location: Chilli's One Utama

Time: After bowling and before Ice Age 3 on last Friday

"Mom, I love Chilli's. We should come here for dinner everyday, especially, I get to eat for free." Tasha begged.

"No sweety. I know you love the food here but we should always do things in moderation," I reasoned.

"If we have to do things in moderation, why do I have to work so hard for my exam? Shouldn't that (meaning - doing things in moderation) apply to everything?" !?!?!??!?!?

I gave up....

THE Z GEN

MOM: "Girl, what does the DC in Washington DC stand for?"

TASHA: without hesitation, "dot com"....

MOM: @#$%^&^*()

STATES IN MALAYSIA

Franco: Tasha, name me all the states in Malaysia.

Tasha: Start counting Papa..
1. Penang
2. Johor
3. Sabah
4. Sarawak
5. Kota Bharu (Papa: Kelantan lah girl...)
6. Tioman
7. Temerloh
8. Ampang

Franco: OK, Stop...Why do you think Tioman is another state?

Tasha: Because we have to take a plane to get there. Like Sabah and Sarawak.

Franco: Tioman is part of Pahang. How you get there is irrelevant. Mom and I had driven to Phuket, it does not make it part of Malaysia. Understand?

Tasha: Yes, dad.

Franco: Temerloh?

Tasha: Because Auntie Sue is from there?!?!?<@

FIRST DAY OF RAMADHAN

Sahur time @ the dining table of our humble abode:

MOM: Tasha, are you sure you have had enough?

TASHA: Yes mom, I think I will be all right. I just have to make sure I get a lot of sleep today!

And off she went to bed after Subuh while I got ready to go for my Saturday am tennis session with the ladies. At 9.30 a.m. as soon as I got home from tennis:

MOM: Tasha, wake up. You have to go for ballet soon.

TASHA: Thanks mom, I plan to sleep till 10.00 so that I only have to be awake for fasting for 9.5 hours. You have officially prolonged my fasting time by 30 minutes!

ENGLISH

Mom: What did you get for your English exam, girl?

Tasha: 70 out of 80 for comprehension and grammar.

Mom thought that was quite good considering Tasha didn't put any effort at all, but dad thought otherwise.

Papa: Tasha, that's 87.5%. I expect your English to be in the 90s. You speak English all the time - at home, at school and you speak it EXCEPTIONALLY well.

Tasha: Ya lor....
