74. When there is a sale on toilet paper, you buy 100 rolls and store them in your closet or in the bedroom of an adult child who has moved out.- If there is a sale on my favourite toilet roll then yes, I might buy 2 -3 rolls, but since they are so bulky, probably won’t bother.

81. You fight over who pays the dinner bill.- Not really. It depends on who we’re having dinner with. Some people we go dutch, some people we pay all the time, some people we take turns; it just depends who it is and what they’re spending style is. We’re pretty easy going. But I’ll be the first to admit that when we have dinner with my Mom, she pays all the time with us paying maybe once in ten times. But to pay back, we do give her 5-8k every year for Chinese New Year or her Birthday or Christmas.It depends on how rich we are for that year 🙂

87. You know why there are 88 reasons.- Chinese auspicious number?

88. You see the truth in this and then send it to all your Chinese friends. – haha…No, I don’t believe in that, sorry!

My mother is Portuguese, Indian, Chinese so I’m not that Chinese, I guess. I would love to learn more Chinese traditions though, just because!
