My son's girlfriend invited us to tim sum at Chuai Heng. I just needed to know going through town from PJ, and along Jalan Bukit Bintang, whether there is a U-turn to go over the other side. Initially, we were told to go via Jalan Tun Razak but we chose Federal Highway towards Bangsar, past Abdullah Hukum and Bangsar LRT station then past the old railway station towards Merdeka Square. But the stretch was closed to traffic and we could see some tour buses and tourists taking pictures. We went along Jalan Hang Lekiu to join Jalan Raja Chulan. The traffic situation was pleasant on a late Sunday morning.
It was too early for lunch, so we could easily find a parking space within its compound and the restaurant was fairly empty. We reached just before them.
The problem with Chinese is the tendency to order more than necessary, and this morning was no exception. The food was excellent, just that towards the end, we had to tuck in some remaining dishes. I actually suggested packing some of the stuff because I knew from experience that after a couple of hours, we would enjoy it better than eating when we were already satiated. But we managed to finish what was left by dividing them!
I tried telling some jokes but my memory failed me on the details. Cheng suggested that I tell simple jokes and the Char Siew Pau jokes were repeated. More lame jokes were added:
3 spears were thrown at a gorilla, one after another. He grabbed the first and the second, and the third spear went over his head. Yet he died, why?
Because typical of gorillas, he used the spears and started beating his chest with them, each time piercing his body!
One old lady was crossing the road and in the middle of it, suddenly she died, why?
Because the third spear which went over the gorilla's head got her!
Some ants were walking along the road but they were killed, why?
Because the old lady fell on them!
It was a case of laughing over the lameness of the jokes rather than the jokes themselves!
