My uncle Thomas

My uncle Thomas, Jennifer and Sandy's dad, is such a character. Every time he goes to Toronto, my aunt and cousins have to clean up the house and speak Cantonese. My cousins are well-prepared to be a corporate employee, do the hardwork when someone is seeing.

Uncle Thomas recently went to Canada for Jennifer's convocation. He does not do very well with long distant flight. All we remember about him in Toronto is his incredible tendency (and ability) to fall asleep soundly. I would be very proud of him if he stayed awake for the whole thing.

He talks loudly, quickly and impatiently (typical Hong Kong guy), always about money. He scolds every living thing in sight (except me, I guess he likes me). But he keeps his volume down for Jennifer these few years, I guess Jennifer somewhat intimidates him as the oldest, the most square-head person in Huen's family (I have to say, Jennifer has a very rigid sense about right doing, God knows where she got that from. The rest of the family is more or less crooked).

Anyhow, uncle Thomas keeps doing things that embarrass Jen. He walks around the house in underwear and innocently said "hi" to all Jen's friends in one unexpected encounter.
