Just remembered something interesting. Thought I'd blog it down for a laugh...
On my previous entry, I mentioned about the family lunch that Mom spends a great amount of effort whipping up every CNY. The spread is usually enough to feed us for at least 4 meals! Despite the additional "help" from my "Bro-in-Law", finishing that amount of food is as much of a chore as cooking it. Storing those leftovers can be a headache as well.
So Mom said that I should invite a BOYFRIEND over next CNY, to help finish up the food.o_O . . . . I can't believe that actually came out of her mouth!!! (~_~lll
So what happened to ｔｈｏｓｅ boyfriendSSssss that she had never approved of in the past??? What happened to that "No-man-is-ever-good-enough-for-my-Daughter"-Mother I used to have???
Or maybe she is getting very very panicky that I'm already of AGE (and expiring soon), and unfortunately, still look very very SINGLE with ZERO suitors.
Conversation with Mom NOWADAYS has been: "Mei（妹）, how come there's NO guys after you huh? My daughter cannot make it meh?" "Mei（妹）, why you so long never receive flowers huh? SO poor thing, I buy for you lah!" "Mei（妹）, why NO guys ask you out huh?" "Mei（妹）, why huh? Izzit all your guy friends can't-make-it one huh? Really don't have can-make-it one meh?" "Mei（妹）, you should widen your social circle and meet more guys mah, then can choose mah." "Mei（妹）, don't anyhow trust guys hor. BUT hor, if got see good ones also must grab, OK?!" "Mei（妹）, why you never go out nowadays one? NO date meh??"
It USED ＴＯ BE: "Mei（妹）, don't anyhow trust any guys hor." "NO ONE is ever good enough for my daughter." "I don't know what you see in that Potato / Mosquito / Thing / etc..." "You should get those doctor or lawyer boyfriends mah! That kind then is good enough for you!" "Aiyo, that kinda of pattern want to woo my daughter!" "Aiyo, how can he be compatible with my daughter??!!!" "Mei（妹）, if got guys chase you hor, you must open your eyes big big, see properly first leh!" "My daughter is our 掌上明珠 leh, how can any tom-dick-harry be suitable for her?" "Mei（妹）, why you everyday go out one? Go out with who?"
Last I've heard, she was checking my horoscope for glimpse of L-O-V-E in this coming year. Oh man, why do I suddenly look so PATHETIC?? =(
