Guess who?
29 April 2008
No prizes for guessing which participant in this phone conversation is my mum.
“So what are you wearing?”
“A blue cheongsam.”
“(Happy voice) Oh that’s good… is it sleeveless or will it have sleeves?”
“It’s sleeveless, but a traditional design.”
“So your tattoos will be on show.”
“(Why are you stating the obvious voice) Yeah.”
“(Very helpful voice) You know, there is some special makeup that people use to cover up their tattoos, but it may damage your dress.”
“(I’ve been getting tattoos for over a decade so why would I be ashamed of them voice) I’m not the one who wants to cover up my tattoos.”
“(I’m really trying not to control things, honest I’m not voice) Haha, you’re so unconventional compared to other people.”
“(I’m going to start sending annoyed emails again voice) Well, it depends on whose conventions you’re comparing me to.”
*sigh*

Oh, I am just trying to lessen a bit of the stress with silliness. I have been to Chinese-American weddings and did not think of Chun Li when I saw the bride on a cheongsam.

Funny… a lot of my phone calls start with that same sentence…!
Tell mum you can't wear a dress since Neil will be wearing his kilt, and you don't want people to think it's a lesbian wedding…

Terry, I would not have caught that Streetfighter reference – it's not something I think of, normally!
Tutu, you are a perv!!!
