Beh Pai Seh
I have to clarify to my in-laws.. not all asians.. are Beh Pai Seh (meaning : not shy at all/almost thick face) like me.. hahahhhahaha!!!
Why leh.. i say .. i beh pai seh..?? We were at Grammie’s house visiting on Sunday of course.. and after eating and all.. no need to help wash dishes.. some more.. and when we were going home. I asked Grammie .. “Grammie did you give me rice to bring home..??? Grammie did you give me some ham to bring home..?? Grammie did you give me potatoe salad to bring home..???” Yalor .. eat already . . some more “beh pai seh” .. wanna “ta-pau” (take-away) some more..!! So stylo-malo right I..??? and then of course.. Grammie obliged lah.. packed ham.. packed potatoe salad.. and then put inside plastic bag some more.. and then tie up some more.. to hand over to me.
Anyhow.. Grammie.. not all asians like that one ok.. most asians.. not like that.. only I very the “beh pai seh” one..!! But just so you know.. I “beh pai seh” .. because i treat you like the family i never had. Not because I “no big, no small” (moe tai moe sai)” .. 
, in our asian culture.. we cannot talk to our MILs like that.. or else.. we “kenna” left right and center.. and i’m sure alot of asian women out there can validate it for me..
i usually don’t take anything home. i lazy lah. but if there’s something damn nice and got leftovers…i will just open my big big mouth and ASK the host for a ta-pau pack. heh.
Hey.. Imp,
I sometimes also lazy.. but ta-pauing.. is good.. because no need to cook the next day.. kkekekeke!!
