My mother called me last night. Here's the conversation (in mandarin).

My mother: We are going to buy a new car. Which model of BMW do you like?
Me: 6 series.
My mother: 6 series too sporty leh. Your father is not that sporty.
Me: He is very sporty one la.
My mother said something, which I cannot remember.
Me: OK, 3 series.
My mother: 3 series not suitable leh. Too small.
Me: But I like 3 series.
My mother: 3 series is for young man, your father not young already.
Me: But I am young man leh.
My mother: What do think about 5 series?
Me: OK lo.
My mother: How about 530?
Me: ...

Me: Silver is better.
My mother: Like silver la, pearl white.
Me: ...
