Buffet Spread…
More from my Laoba’s brand of humour: (please take no offense if you happen to like going for buffets or complain about your weight)
Hi girl,
Mum went for lunch buffet yesterday and it reminded me of ‘buffet spread’
The word means ‘woman with big bottom’. If you notice, most people and especially women who attend buffet lunch, buffet dinner or buffet where ever there are makan for ‘one price eat all you can’ are in the bigger size category. Why? Because you can keep on eating for 3 or 4 hours non stop. Also to make sure that it is value for their money, better if it is 10 times worth what they are paying. Worst of all is they will gather the same size gang and go together, eat and gossip for the whole 3 or 4 hours. (Eh Tommy, is my dad talking about us?!?)
That remind me of another thing.
Mum is now wearing clothing with size XL and she is not very please. (Erh… dunno if this part has been approved by my mum or not?!?) All women are born vain. Some are worse, like your mum. I have been hearing her talking about her weight for god knows when. (Oh, so it runs in the family! Now I know where I got it from!) She feel shy when she goes into a shop and the sales person ask for her size.
I think the manufacturing companies must change sizing to ‘ JS ‘, ‘ JM ‘ & ‘ JL ‘. ( J for JUMBO ) the vain can say ‘ junior ‘ so not so embrassing lor! Save on sewing cost and time - XL, XXL, XXXL or maybe next time XYZZZZL.
love,
dad

Hi Tiffany
I feel like I have known you for ages - especially since working with your Mum & Dad! And now, of course, being slightly voyeuristic and certainly kaypoh, I have been reading your blogs - they really cheer me up on a lousy day in the office.
Just a little comment - I was with your Mum at that particular buffet - we were surrounded by really BIG people (your Mum thinks I am so diplomatic!)
