This is going to be a damn long and wordy post. I think.
Maybe i'll cut short by the end of it.
Anyway, the issue I wanted to talk about is meeting the parents.
Not my parents of course but his parents.
Firstly, being introduced is a big and important issue in his family culture.
That's precisely why ever since we knew of one another's feelings,
I did not step into his house at all.
It did get quite on my nerves cause Singapore is bloody small.
And sometimes, I just want to slack and laze around rather than shop around.
Secondly, I'm not very into the idea that he's so important to his close family and even relatives.
Cause it probably means that they will hate me since i took him away from them.
Yes, i know. Pretty wired up brain of mine.
Lastly, I'm just a socially awkward person.
Yes, I'm talkative to all of you.
But NOT, to strangers.
So when I was actually asked to go on board the ship with his mum and relatives.
I was quite pissed off cause he was the one who was quite uptight about introducing me.
Anyway, I still met them at the ferry terminal.
I think that's where his torturous journey began.
For the first time, I'm just gonna spam my unreasonable-ness. lol.
I got ticked when his cousin asked about my fake glasses.
Sorry but ISNT IT WEIRD TO ASK SOMEONE
"Why are you wearing this specs with no lens?"
I MEAN, WHY ELSE WOULD I WEAR IT FOR?
FASHION LA! =.=
Yes, that's how ill and hot tempered i am.
But this one i never show that im ticked.
Then, his mum talked about my legs casually.
Okay, I wasn't pissed. Just rather hurt and upset.
Won't elaborate cause the poor bf really put in alot of effort to assure me. (:
And yes, his mum wasn't freaked out about it. It was just a passing remark.
HAHA. See how unreasonable i can be.
Then finally on board the ship.
I got ticked cause the older relatives started talking very loudly.
Acting like well...aunties.. and that seriously annoyed me.
And it didnt help that I'm freaking deprived of sleep.
So i was just keeping damn quiet, with a very blank look in my eyes.
And he kept urging me to cheer up.
While i continued stoning.
I think what cracked me up was the couple having sex next door.
HAHA. We were giggling like a bunch of kids under the blanket..
and on the pathetic 50cm wide bed.
I still wondered if his mum could hear it too cause she's sleeping just below us. lol..
The next day, it was much better.
Certain things happen, I'm not gonna hao lian here. HAHA.
But yeah, much better.
In all, i just gotta say this.
I'm damn amazed by jason's patience and thoughtfulness.
And im still not comfortable in the family's presence.
My last few words for this post is..
Why girls always blog/say that they will be meeting the bf's mum so early and so excitedly?!
I seriously don't think it's a big deal if you met her so early (Less than half a year r/s).
And i'm not excited at all. i almost wet my pants. LOL.
It's just weird how come i've never heard of cases like me being annoyed and uptight.
Maybe his family's culture is different. But yeah.
I'm just a little grossed out when people talks about being introduced to one another's family members as "exciting" and "fun" and like its a very HAOLIAN-ABLE thing.
Yes, IM TRADITIONAL deep down still. haha.
I think such introductions are awkward and downright formal.
The one i've gotta thank for bearing the worst of me and trying to improve things is still him.
The poor middleman stuck in between.
Yes you do, Mr Koh. =)
P.S: Upcoming post will be about you again! HAHA.
For him. If you're not him, its your choice to read or not.
