Dear Hokkien-speaking friends,
Dr. Quek made a routine house call to Mr. Lim, one of his elderly patients.
He asks, 'And how are you doing today, Mr. Lim?'
Mr. Lim replies, 'I feel just fine, doc. But you know, it's the
strangest thing.
Every night when I get up to pang jio, the bathroom light goes on for me
automatically when I open the door!'
The doctor is worried that the old man is getting senile, so he
phones the man's son, and the son's wife answers.
The doctor tells her, 'Mrs. Lim, I'm a little concerned about
your father-in-law.
It seems that when he gets up to urinate at night and opens the
bathroom door, the light somehow goes on....'
At which point, Mrs. Lim yells, 'Aiyoh, Ah Seng! Ah Pa pang jio
in the fridge again!'
JUST A JOKE ( 2 )
The best photos with beautiful
Spanish song background.
Watch it when you are relaxed & have time. Listen to
the clarity of the pronunciation of the Spanish lyrics.
