Mama

Just now my mum saw me in front of the PC and said "please don't look for a girlfriend online"! Goodness! What have i done to send out such a ridiculous notion? Besides the fact that i keep looking at people's photos in their blogs that is, but yuan1 wang3 ah! I don't IRC, I hardly even MSN, I don't even remember what is my friendster account! To the online community, I know this is sacrilegious.

Anyway, I sense what she is going to say when she is in her nagging mood. "Why don't you find some nice Christian girl at your church instead of looking at all these photos on the net?"

Nice Christian girls do not like ah bengs like me. Ah lians do not like guys who ask them to go home early on Saturday nights so they will not miss church on Sunday morning. Nice Christian girls do not like guys who bitch. Woman who bitch do not like guys who bitch in a capacity other than bitch-mate, like jie-mei kinda thing. I could go on and on but you get the idea.

Anyway, if i tell my mum that, she will start to tell me I am superficial and I like anorexic self-absorbed women who will make lousy wives who can't cook to save their lives. Anyway, how many women nowadays know how to cook? When I ask my girl friends this question, some indignantly reply that they do.

Sure, everyone can cook, just like everyone can sing. Whether its palatable is another question. Sure, I can sing, but when I do so in Karaokes with my friends, they either go to the toilet, amuse themselves with their handphones or talk loudly amongst themselves in an attempt to cover up my screeching.

Anyway, sometimes I give up when she is nagging on this topic. I will tell my mum that I will leave it in her hands, she can match make for me if she wants. Then she will tell me "You think I am very anxious, I already have a grandson and grand-daughther, I don't have to depend on you". That usually ends the discussion and i can buy myself more time.

Dunno how long will I last until she really takes me up on the challenge.
