Last weekend i met the parents for the very first time. It wasn’t as scary as i thought it will be but still it got my nerves on the edge. Actually, i’ve met the mom before but that wasn’t great coz i reeked of strong lavender butter and looked like ‘orang minyak’ with a really bad hairdo. I just came out from a facial and massage session and needed a ride home. The mom was with him. I’m the sucker mother of first impressions -_-”.
You know i got it all figured out… about why girls are more nervous than guys when it comes to meeting the parents. Besides the fact that we are vain pots and thinks that a face full off powder and paint would make us more likable to the parents, it would be less nerve wrecking if the boyfriend paid full attention to us and fuss over us they way we do them when they meet our parents.
Geeky boyfriend is indeed not very extra-ordinary. Why? Like every other guy, he thinks his parents are the most ‘cincai’ and sporting parents ever and that i don’t have to be worried or on my best manners *faint!. In fact, i think he thinks that it would be alright too if i picked my nose (not that i ever picked my nose in public lar) or act like an epileptic whale in front of his parents. He nearly fainted when i gave him the ultimatum… again and again.
1) When in restaurant, you can’t go to the toilet… no matter what! (so i won’t have to be awkwardly alone with your parents)
2) When dining, take effort to occasionally serve me food! (so i won’t look like a greedy cow)
3) I want to sit in the car’s front seat! (so i won’t have to stare blankly at my hands and outside the window trying to avoid eye contact with the mother sitting next to me)
4) Most important, do not ever leave me alone with your parents or else!
Although he still think that i’m just being silly because he always say “My parents nothing wan lar. They ok wan. Very cincai. No need paiseh. They don’t care as long as i like ok?”, he abided by my rule which i’m really thankful for *wakaka!
I’m so NOT going to do this meeting the parent thingy again anytime too soon.
