Told mama already... And so, as promised to Limei on my tagboard, yes, I shall blog about it...
I started it off by saying, "Adam ask me whether I gg to his house to Bai Nian..."
Mama: (pauses) You go and think whether you are serious about him or not lor...
Me: Huh? Orh, Ok.
And so she exited the room... Moments later, while I was helping her bring down the curtains to wash,
Mama: How old is he?
Me: 2 years older than me.
Mama: Huh? Then how come he graduate already? He didn't serve NS is it?
Me: He just graduate last year. Hello ma, I went to Poly remember?? (do a little more math for her)
Mama: Then where does he live?
Me: Tanah Merah.
Mama: Where?
Me: Terrace house.
Mama: Then what's he doing now?
Me: Navy.
Mama: So he got smoke lah...
Me: Uhm, yah. But he's trying to quit now, limited to 2 sticks a day... (a bit flustered...)
Well, tt's about it.
BUt, I can safely say, my mama had no signs of objection. Even when I told her maybe weekend I will go out and bai nian at his place... Tricky part, I dunno whether he should be coming up to bai nian also... wahaha!
Yah, then, hmm... Yah lor.
At least I managed to damage control the smoking part.. Mama dun like guys to smoke coz my papa smokes HEAVILY and it is causing a BREATHING PROBLEM for my mum now... GAMBLING as in those horsebetting kind also cannot... DRINKING IN MODERATION is still allowed... TATTOOS are a strict no-no!! Simply coz will have a problem if we want to go to hot spring.
What else did I miss out?
Oh yes, I have notified my mama that he does not reach the required height of 174cm... I.e. shorter than Aya.
My mama also asked if he was an only child (no, got younger sister, same age as Aya, studying in NTU also and yes, tt still makes him the ONLY SON).
She skipped the usual questions of "how did you meet? where did you meet?" Apparently, from what i see this time round, knowing that he's my senior from hall already warranted a big enough green light.
I hope she doesn't laugh when she sees how boyish he is. Hehe!! Sometimes I feel pressured to dress and look younger... Simply coz I dun want to go out and ppl think I am OLDER THAN HIM.
Good start to the whole affair. At least I can now, not worry that when we go out, I might bump into my relatives and then ARGH!!! They know before my own parents know... And sooner or later mama will pester me and ask me when am I gg to tell papa about Adam.
Well, will have more things to blog about AFTER MY MAMA SEES ADAM lah, confirm. Now she's adopting tt " I must be fair, I haven'T seen him or talked to him yet so I cannot pass judgement..." kind of stance... *shudders*
P.S: At the age of 22 gg onto 23, I still behave like a kid in front of my mama when it comes to things like this... Haiz...
