Dinner with my Aunt and Uncle

19:00- Dinner is ready!

19:05- High school cousin gets ready to leave the house

19:06- Aunt shouts and asks, "your girlfriend is here here to pick you up already?"

19:07- Cousin says, "yeah, gotta go now"

19:08- I say, "WHAAAAAAT?"

19:09- I complain to my aunt and uncle, "since when did he get a girlfriend!? How come he got one before me!"

19:10- Aunt and Uncle tell me how "yeu" I should feel. Even with a car and currently studying Masters degree, I am still single.

19:11- I complain that it's because the car they are lending me is not nice enough. They shoot me down saying my cousin doesn't have a car, and in addition to that he gets rides from his girlfriend.

19:13- I complain saying that my house isn't nice enough, but of course, my cousin lives in this house too. Shot down again.

19:16- My uncle tells me the whole family and extended family are all waiting on me (apparently I'm the only one who doesn't or didn't have a girlfriend before).

19:18- My aunt and uncle start making excuses for me out of sympathy, saying that maybe I don't have a girlfriend because I am too popular, thus girls are scared that I am very 'fa sum'.

19:20- My aunt starts telling me about a friend she knows whose son was healthy, gifted and talented, and just turned out to be gay recently.

19:30- My aunt asks very sincerely......

"nei hai mm hai gay ah?"
