After collaborating with my future MMIL (mama-in-law) on the venue for dinner, it was time to 'date' uncle. Hahaha note I did not say PPIL (papa-in-law) and that shows that I'm closer to TSO's mum than dad, cuz well, he is a bit stern although at times when we do chat, it was quite ok.
So well, TSO and I were in the living room watching the 7pm Korean show which I was hoping to draw some inspiration when MMIL commented that their mandarin was so cheena and wished me good luck cuz that aint gonna help me much.
So much for encouragment.
8pm, show is over. MMIL making calls in the room. TSO and I in the living room. Uncle in the bedroom.
It's now or never, I thought. And so I took a deep breath and took baby steps towards the bedroom.
'Uncle, 这个礼拜有空吗?''有，作么没有空.' =X
'一起吃饭好吗? 瞒久没一起吃饭了' Tot I sound a bit lame here
'好啊. 吃什么?''三盅两件?''好.'And there. Done. Felt akward but well, still accomplished the mission.
TSO later told me Uncle told MMIL that I'm gonna treat dinner and it's something she likes, to which she replied 'Of cuz, I'm the one who gave him the suggestion.'
