i told you so
as expected girls, the following did happen.
there i was standing away from my rowdy relatives; letting my boisterous granny and aunty aunties gossip loudly about my uncle (briefly: he just came outta the closet after being married for 25years). out of the corner of my eye, i saw my ah-ma observing me and i knew it was coming...
*in teochew*
ah-ma: WAH! AH XINWEI! YOUR WAIST IS ACTUALLY QUITE THICK HOR!
*uncles, aunties, cousins, gf/bf of cousins and maids swivelled their heads immediately*
aunty: YAR HOR! ABIT LAR! (i was thinking: please, when u say "yar hor", do not try to salvage your "yar hor" with the "abit lar")
uncle: NOT THAT BAD LAR, IT'S IN PROPORTION TO HER HIPS WHAT.
someone please pass me a machine gun now.
There
oh my goodness... thats just.. thats just...
xinwei, i shoot them for you lar.
why can't they tell us quietly, i wonder? they just HAVE to announce it so that everyone will do the head swivelling thing right?!
gawsh.
