Mummmmy! :D

Just the other day I asked my Mum whether it was okay for me to go out with a boy. I mean, as in a date with a boy.

d

And I got a really funny answer.

d

"Oh! Who is the guy? Is he cute? How old is he? What do his parents do? Is he tall?"

d

Yes. My MUM said that.

d

And so, me, totally surprised by her enthusiasm about my phantom guy friend, answered her back very quickly, "Erm, Mum, no boy asked me out on a date, I meant boys in general."

d

So my Mum went, "Oh. Well, then maybe if there is a guy, you could ask him to come around the house for a little getting-to-know-each-other session with the family. Oh! You can ask him to come to our house during Chinese New Year! So that I'll know whether or not he is trustworthy, thus deciding should or should you not go out with him."

d

Mum still refused to believe that there is NO guy out there who asked me out or whatever. "Mum, there is NO guy. But thanks."

d

I have to admit, I am utterly surprised that my Mum would be so enthusiastic about me having a boyfriend. I thought she would be against it, as I am still in school and next year being SPM year and all that. But my Mum is totally okay with it. It is so weird.

d

Or maybe my Mum really trusts me that I will balance my time between boyfriend and studies, or whatever with studies, for that matter. Cos I really do try to balance my time. And at the risk of sounding like a total nerd, I really want to do well in my SPM for a scholarship. Because that is, sad as it is, the only way I will ever be able to continue pursuing my education. I mean, I know I have choices to free/cheaper education like Form 6 and all, but I want to go straight into the course that I decide to take next time (that is if I ever do decide) and not waste any time. Form 6 courses are very limited, that's why if I can, I want to take up a certain chosen course right away like in universities or colleges.

d

Anyway, I wonder what my Dad would say about me having a boyfriend. I have never talked about this with him before, cos being the youngest of his children (I think, I hope. Oh my God, what is this I'm saying?????) I will forever be his baby. I mean, he's never said that, but I sort of feel that way. I don't know. But I like being my Dad's baby. Or my Mum's baby. Or anyone's baby for that matter, cos I love to be pampered and/or loved! :D :D :D

d

Oh, also, today I saw an email about China. China and their scandalous news (so what else is new?). It was this article about how the people in China believe that the foetus that has been aborted by someone pregnant, when boiled with herbs, can help with the fertility of men and women, and well, it sort of works as Tongkat Ali. It was way gross, with pictures and all, about how they boiled the foetus and stuff.

d

But I gave it a long thought. Aren't the aborted babies just the same as animals? How come we feel revolted that the babies are being boiled and eaten but at the same time we're slaughtering chickens and cows and lambs to be eaten? I mean, it's not like the babies were killed just so they could be used to make the herbal broth, these people only use the aborted babies after they have been aborted. It's sort of like recycling, if you think about it.

d

I am not saying that I am agreeing with this baby herbal thing, but I can't say that I am truly against it too. I know it is disgusting and sick and just plain psychotic for these people to be doing this, but really. I still can't help thinking, the aborted babies are used for medical and/or health purposes right, so.....why not?

d

But then, people who believe in God and the after-life are sure to be against this, so I guess that explains the difference between animals and aborted babies.

d

Anyway, for or against it, it is still way gross. :X :X :X

d

So I am off now. Again, take care Abel, in Kuantan. Also, Audrey, Eric, Ashley and their friends, in Singapore, take care and have fun! :D :D :D

d

And may Sook Kwan che's spine heal soon.

d

And Happy X'mas in advance everyone! :D

d

Ciao!
