As you get older, your relationship with your parents changes. They tell you stuff you don’t really wanna hear, but they also tell you stuff that is really useful. Similarly, you tell them stuff they don’t really wanna hear either. Not sure if anything is really useful though.
So today, I find myself at the basin cleaning up after finishing my dinner and my mom is telling me about matchmaking some guy with an ex-colleague:
“But this guy is very skinny you know. Not very tall either. The slender kind. Will XXXXX like or not?”
Hmm. Yes. XXXXX is quite tall and pretty voluptuous.
“That might be a problem,” I said.
Pause.
“But he might have a big dick.”
I burst out laughing as my mom asks me how I want her to kill me.

Sanah: How’s your essay?
SuZ: I’ve got a few rough paragraphs.
Sanah: Then you’ve just got to smoothen it out. (to PY) Geddit? Smooooothen. (smoothening hand action)
————
Sanah: When are we leaving?
PY: When you’re gonna have sex with me.
SuZ: Then I’m never leaving.
————
PY: I’m so glad I’m spending my university career with you guys.
Sanah: What career? More like joke.
PY: Ok. University joke then.

So today, Neil Gaiman autographed our books. SuZ Fragile Things, Graveyard Book for the sister and me, American Gods. It was a nice night, just that in my excitement I forgot to shake Neil’s hand and was too hesitant about asking for a photo.
In any case, this is not the point of the post. The point begins in the aftermath of the furore when we are happily seated at Wang’s Cafe.
After I retrieve our orders which consisted of a teh bing for SuZ and an assortment of stuff including an ice-blended Horlicks (please try this – it is yummy) for me, it is about 11pm. Or so.
SuZ has a bus to catch and so decides to check my phone for the time. Suddenly, she starts sucking up teh bing really fast. Like really fast. In the mean time, PY leisurely enjoys her kaya-butter toast……
After sucking up like a third of the glass in five seconds, she snatches out her phone and looks at the time.
And here I paraphrase her: “Oh my god. What is wrong with your phone? Your phone is like super fast. Oh my god oh my god. How can you still be so late all the time?” (Pardon me. What she said was way funnier than this – it was so funny it kept both of us laughing for about 20 minutes or so - except that it’s really kinda late now and I’m woozy.)
Let me just conclude this somewhat lamely – the girl is hilarious, especially around essay time when she’s extra tired.
Goodnight world.
P/S: Please get SuZ to tell you the family anecdotes she told me today. Absolutely hysterical.

I have a big cup of lovely black coffee in front of me (no more after November) and I have already spilt it on myself . What a wonderful Monday morning.
According to SuZ, she saw Sanah and I in the canteen. Sanah seated somewhere and me buying something at the Malay store.
A picture of loving bliss.
“I thought Sanah and you were together,” she said.
“Yes, we are,” I replied firmly.
Sanah silently and coldly took a sip of her morning Milo.

I know I’m supposed to write my fucking essay right now and I am trying Really Hard.
But, I can’t help it:
Might be taken out of context.
Haha.

When anyone is desperate enough in this modern day, I think they turn to Google. At least I do.
So today, I put in the search term “how to stay happy.” Yes, lame. But it came up with six things I want to remember here in this space:
1. Accept yourself
2. Happiness is a state of mind
3. Prioritize your life
4. Take care of yourself
5. Stay in the company of happy people
6. Be grateful
Sounds like good advice even if it sounds lame.
