Am I being serious?
I would think that most girls have to go through this, as in, this horridly silly thing of sitting down with your mother (or father, or auntie, or uncle, or grandpa, or grandma, or very concerned older family member) and having THAT stupid chat about when's the time, when's the time.
Eh don't play-play ok, this is not really stupid to them, it's seriously a very serious thing, because it's so obvious that achelly they're being very very concerned with you.
I'm going to take my mum as a prime example, she knows perfectly well I have a blog, she knows I roll my eyes over this conversation all the time. And she knows I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT everytime she comes down on me this way, BUT BUT BUT she still does it anyway. You know, the one, where the mother goes, 'Eh I want to talk to you about this guy.'
And I go, 'What now?'
And she goes, 'You know? Are you being serious or not?'
'Uh. Should be lah. He's still the same guy right?'
'You better be, otherwise you shouldn't be going out with him. Think about it carefully ok?'
And then I go, 'OK,' and try to get busy doing something, like read the papers or press the buttons on the remote control. Cannot just walk away one, walk away means you're being rude, ok?
Then Mum will go, 'You cannot lose it you know.'
Then you frown and say, 'YES. YES. YES.'
Then she goes, 'You know what 'yes yes yes', you know what I'm talking about or not?'
'What? I know lah I know lah. We've spoken about this so many times.'
'Yes you cannot be so stupid to lose it ok? When you lose it you got nothing left.'
KNNCB or not I ask you? I nod, vehemently, because it's a pointless place where I'm coming from. Might as well let her get it out of her system, it happens all the time anyway.
'You are a girl you know. You only have that.'
Shit or not. How traditional can you get? Gah.
'So you when you lose you got nothing left.'
'YES, YES, YES.'
'What you mean yes? Do you know what I'm saying?'
'Yes, ma. Don't worry, ma. I have not done anything I should not do with him. I'm not so stupid.'
'I know you very stupid one.'
'…'
'You sure lose it already. Haiyah, what to do now. You cannot be so stupid lah.'
'?!'
'You don't do anything stupid ok? Must keep it. Then you must think about it. Is it for real or not.'
'Yes.'
And then, her eyes will dart to THAT part of my body, the part where my pants join. My aunt's even funnier, her forefinger will keep on pointing to that part there, like it's some sort of weird specimen that I have to keep attached all the time otherwise I will turn stupid.
'If not for real you must let go of it ok? Don't want to hurt him. Eh don't be so stupid ok?'
'Yes.'
'Eh. You don't yes me so many times ok. I know you sure lose it already.'
'NO… I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE NOT ALLOWED ME TO DO. OK I WANNA WATCH TV.'
'Haiyoh. I'm being serious here.'
'OK. Watch TV. TV.'
I can try to convince these overconcerned people to concentrate on the real entertainment, but it hardly works. Blardy conversation repeats itself several times a month. Sometimes, a few times a day, if you're meeting many relatives at one go. And now that Christmas is near, and soon Chinese New Year too, with all the relatives coming (or me going to see them), I'm going to see a lot of darting eyes. GAH!!

You know, technologies are so advance now, you can ‘reattach’ it back..
But I don’t see the point in doing that anyway..
December 22nd, 2005 at 3:05 pm
simple: just say u lost it, before this bf.
once and for all.
December 22nd, 2005 at 3:32 pm
just lose it. eminem said so.
December 22nd, 2005 at 3:34 pm
Err…lose what?
December 22nd, 2005 at 3:38 pm
Ya, do it like what spiller said.
Tell them you’ve already lost it.
But then again be prepared to face different kind of verbal assault from them
December 22nd, 2005 at 4:41 pm
hmmm…actually i kinda agree with what spiller said. at least the topic of conversation will move on, there’s sort of a closure now on your…er…thing…:oops:
merry christmas, claire!

Tell her you’ve got to lose it early and get it to exercise to improve blood circulation and hence fertility for future.
December 22nd, 2005 at 6:21 pm
What happen if you’re a guy? I’m sure they won’t bother… right? Except maybe ask you to take safety precautions
December 22nd, 2005 at 6:23 pm
Luckily, my mom doesn’t bug me with these kinda stuffs. Say one time enough already
December 22nd, 2005 at 6:52 pm

December 22nd, 2005 at 10:17 pm
I don’t get it. It’s just a mere stretch of skin (the hymen). What’s the big deal about it?
December 22nd, 2005 at 11:00 pm
like a guy once said “Girls are likes slippers. They can only get worn.”
yes i know how sexist that is, but thats the mentality for you. >.
December 22nd, 2005 at 11:11 pm
*Laughs* Oh my. Sounds like my mom.
December 23rd, 2005 at 2:46 am
I know your mom is very traditional but what your mom said sounded kinda bad.
‘If you lose it you have nothing left’
‘You’re a girl and you only have that’
Is that all you have to offer to your future husband? Your hymen? I’m sure you have a lot more to offer to Eric than a layer of tissue.

I will not propogate hate. Spread your form of ‘cheer’ into your innards.
December 23rd, 2005 at 9:19 am
U mean it’s still not lost?? Very rare species
December 23rd, 2005 at 9:40 am
SAY YOU’VE ONLY INDULGED IN ANAL SEX!!! :p
AHHAHAH that would so screw them over
December 23rd, 2005 at 9:53 am
At least it’s from your mum. My FIL called me up and told me not to visit their home before I was married a year ago. He said girls which are not married should stay over at the bf’s family’s place… so hurtful, u know coz his tone of voice damn serious and angry while he said that over the phone. Talk about conservative parents…!!! Btw, if they are around,,, I’m not to wear spaghetti strap shirts or sleeveless… that is few of the things and more on the way…. I tell u, I wish it didn’t had to be this way… OMG so depressing!!! Live with it… :p
December 23rd, 2005 at 9:55 am
Sorry… saw a typo. I meant to say should NOT stay over at the bf’s family’s place.
December 23rd, 2005 at 11:35 am
Oops, I hope she hasn’t read your blog and found my misdiagnosis of your virgin butt.
December 23rd, 2005 at 11:59 am
hey i made a christmas card for u.. come see it in my blog
December 23rd, 2005 at 12:57 pm
Urk. I’m adding this to my list of Reasons to Thank God I’m a Guy, right next to bleeding petpets and childbirth.
December 24th, 2005 at 12:22 am
Maybe just tell her that you already lost it.
She can’t do anything right?
December 25th, 2005 at 1:56 pm
hahaha… that’s sth very interesting. but it can get quite annoying at times when ur parents talk to you about that everyday.
