Traveling with the family can be tricky. Even more so when they're now living in a different time zone and their ears have yet to pop from the long flight to NYC.
(1) Animal Crackers
Li Lin: If I were to produce a Broadway musical, I would do Disney’s ‘The Emperor’s New Groove’.
All: Oh… hmmm, okay.
LL (mulling thoughtfully): I wonder how I could portray the lima…
All (puzzled looks all round): The WHAT?
LL: The animal?! The lima?!
All (ROFL): LLAMA LAH!!!
(2) Sister Cities
Dad: I was telling your mum that we should watch a musical on Broadway, like ‘Calcutta’ or…
All: Like WHAT?!?!
Dad: Like… Cal…Chichi…CHICAGO…
All (ROFL): WAHAHAHAHA! Calcutta and Chicago are very different lah!!!
All (singing): CAL-CU-TTA! I’m a taxi driver in CAL-CU-TTA! Taxi taxi taxi in CAL-CU-TTA! I am a Taxi Driver Maaaaaaaaaan!
(3) Presents From Home
Mum (passing YL a package from the luggage): Nah, here are your shoes from Jennifer.
Dad & Yu Jin: Here are your GENITALS?!?!
YL: Jennifer lah you! JENNIFER!
(Sorry, Jen! The guys’ ears must have still been blocked from the air pressure on the flight. Thanks SO much for the spiffy red sneakers! Very apt for walking around NYC. Thanks to you, I have a bit more style now! Same clothes, new shoes – but more style!)
Our current time zone: GMT +8 (We're home in Singapore!)
