Big Appah

On New Years day my dad and my brothers went over to my dad's older brothers house to eat. He told us to have a passion and be smart about our decisions in english. ENGLISH!!!!!!!

Cliff - This is the most he's spoken english to us.

SERIOUSLY! He always speaks to us in Korean and we just don't understand (partially). But this time, he was speaking full ENGLISH!! CMON KUN APPAH!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU SPEAK TO US EARLIER IN OUR LIVES!!!!!



Today, I went to LA with my dad to eat with my uncle at a Korean restaurant. He was telling me a story when he was little in ENGLISH...

Uncle - When I was little, there was an American air base that came to Korea and we thought the officers were so cool. The officers would ask us to help them hunt so we would go to the forest and go hunting. During their lunch break, they would eat out of cans and we thought it was from outer space. The food was so colorful and smelled so delicious. When the officers threw away the cans, we would run out to grab the cans. If we got one, we would call ourselves lucky. We would lick the inside of the cans and make planes and whatever out of it. Hahaha.

So, cute. I wish I knew my uncle understood english so I could be closer to him. He's my dad's oldest sibling and he's getting old.

In the car on the way there, I told my dad about the New Years incident and how we didn't know he spoke english.

Dad - Oh, yeah~! In Korea, we learned english starting middle school. Simple english, like Tom and Jerry and those kind of things. In high school we learn a little more english but it's not that great. But your kun appah (uncle) read the Times in middle school. He was one of the best. No one else new english like he did.

Wow, kun appah. I admire you so much!! =)


When we came back to my uncle's house, my cousin was there and I asked her about what she was doing and what her siblings were doing. She asked what Josh, Cliff, and Andrew were majoring in and what they were doing.
Cousin - Dang, no doctors or lawyers in our family.

HAHAHA. She's a nurse and her brothers and sister are in fashion.
I didn't know they had 4 children either. Wow.

FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!

I want to have babies before my uncle passes.
HUSBAND!!! FIND ME!
