Mommy’s Boy

Mom thinks I am her personal chauffeur.

Today was supposed to be my day off. I had plans to spend it doing nothing but channel surfing on Astro before I returned to Singapore in the evening.

At 11pm, mom says “Go get dressed. We’re going out”.

So at 11.30pm I drive her to a restaurant where we have lunch.

12.15pm – I drive her to Eon Bank

1.30pm – I drive her to HSBC

2pm – I drive her to the shopping mall where a new shipment of Feng Shui merchandise has arrived at her favorite money pit.

4pm – I drive her for tea at some swank café because she needs her 4pm tea and cake (a ritual for my mom)

4.45pm – I drive her home.

Now at home feeling like my day off has been completely spent doing nothing except being a chauffeur. What an awful son I am.

Anyway according to mom, the next few months are going to be rough for me because I am born in the year of the Horse. So to help me overcome future obstacles, she bought a little Kirin to hang behind my chair in the office.

11 years ago it was the year of the Rooster. My aunt said it would be a bad year for me (Rabbit). So I had to wear a bracelet with a bell on it to scare away the evil rooster spirit. I wonder whether I will need to wear my bell again next year.

kirin beer counted or not?

no wonder im having such a rotten time now. fuck cibai!

my dad is going nuts too.

LMD > i’m sure you already have a swank chinese bracelet with little silver bells on it… most chinese women do right?

powerpuff > cause your dad went into retirement. The inactive mind goes barmy. Find him something to do lah.

he had a job offer when he retired and he turned it down.

I no have swank chinese bracelet with silver bells on it. The bells would give me a heart attack everytime I snuck out of the house.

Mmm. My mom doesn’t believe in such stuff. Maybe I’ll get her to buy me a Tiffany’s bracelet then attach bells to it, if she ever thinks I need one. Hehe

woah qilin … long time i never hear this word

powerpuff > i told my dad about your dad. My dad says your dad is worried about somethign thats why he is going barmy. Maths teacher brain supposed to be more resilitent against going barmy in dotage.

LMD > grrls who sneak out need to have silver cowbells attached to their neck! Hahahah

evie > Tiffanys again. I think you are attached to the bracelet and not the other way round lol.

wackyqueen > only hear it in chinese fairy tales right!

So any ways to solve the daddy problem? After turning down job offers and being almost mad?

Ping: reminds us of someone’s case too huh.

ping & evie > who who?

Hmm… I was referring to myself though.
