Retire

On another typical day in the library, I decided to ask aunty some questions again.

Me: Aunty, 如果你'毕业'你要做什么?
Aunty, if you 'graduate' what are you going to do?

Aunty: 什么毕业?我没有去大学阿!
What graduate? I never go to university!

Me:不是!不是!'retire'
No! No! 'retire'

Aunty: Oh, 退休! 不知道。我没有想过。
Oh, retire.I don't know. Never thought it before

Me:为什么没有想过?
Why never thought of it?

Aunty: 不知道。在家 zhuo bo lo.
Don't know. Stay at home and do nothing

Me: @.@ Not boring?

Aunty: Boring la. Bo bian. kua poh cua, tv, lim kopi, zhuo bo lo.*laughs*
Boring la. No choice, read newspapers, tv, drink coffee and do nothing *laughs*

Me: Song boh!
Nice!
