Recently my father keep asked me whether i have manage to find my another half since age is catching up and at the same time ask me to be a matchmaker for my sister. Gosh! sometime i really hate it when he asked me this question. I had thesis and assignment then exam to worry about but most of the time he will keep repeat the same topic till i remain my sister to answer the landline call cause most of the time its my father and at the same time if possible avoid pass the phone to me. Most of the time he will ask me what language did you communicate with you coursemate and there is not Asian gal in your class? The only answer i will give him is they is Asian gal but from China and i don't chat much with them and i don't communicate with them in Mandarin cause i can't understand their alien slang. When he heard it's China gal then he will said China gal useless. At least i know how to avoid the question sometime. Maybe next time i should drop a hint for my father that i prefer someone who had a tool that can be touch in between the leg instead flat.
But i think majority of us will face this problem when the age is reach certain level. If i get the question from someone who i don't really know them. I will just pretend that i don't understand the language that the person communicate with me. If the language that we communicate is in English then i will just pretend i don't understand the question or last choice will be get my ass off from that space.
Sometime i can be really mean it till my sibling will remain about my rude attitude. But i think my sibling know me very well cause when i piss off most of the time i will communicate in English and Mandarin will be out of mind. Cause in Mandarin sometime i really struggle to find the actual word to express my feeling. At least in English it easier for me to express my feeling.
That's why sometime my dad will question my mum, did we bring back wrong baby since i can't really master Mandarin or Foochow language and worst part i can't speak a proper sentence in Mandarin or Foochow and definitely in between that sentence i will mix with English word. It's like my communication style signature.
Whatever mate its time to sleep! Tiring and 2moro i need to wake up early go to Victoria Road to process my driving license at here.
I was bugged by the same question by my parents before I came out.. but now they know that I am gay they have never asked me about girlfriends anymore.. in fact my siblings have been asking me when am I going to get a BF ever since they day I told them that I am gay.. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI've just started working as a college lecturer and being the youngest lecturer has put me into a position of being asked these questions by my colleagues and my students:
"Is your girlfriend in the UK now" (I studied in the UK before)
"What kind of girl do you like?"
"I think within a year I am going to see you with a girl.."
and etc..
LOL!!
