Monday, May 29, 2006 || The Eliza Lee alter-ego controversy.
- The cause of much controversy in the Lee household:
Looks pretty innocent, nothing my parents should get worked up about, right?
But ah, the eyes of a concerned parent is sharper than that of a hawk's.
My beloved mother, upon seeing the presence of a male name on her beautiful daughter's "wishlist", went into hysterics.
"Who's Ezra???," she demanded.
Me: "Err .... Ezra's my male alter-ego. Like you know, Jaclyn's alter-ego's Jane... so mine's Ezra!"
Mum: "What alter-ego??"
Me: "Ezra is my other identity ... Eliza equals Ezra ..... HAHAHAHA!"
I know lah, I'm lame. Heh.
Beloved Mother: "WHAT?! Are you treating me like a joke?!? IS HE YOUR BOYFRIEND?!?" (translation: you'd better tell me who the hell is Ezra, or I'll poison your dinner.)
Beautiful Me: "Erm ... no lah. If he was my boyfriend, he wouldn't be on my wishlist right. He'd be on my to-do list.... HAHAH"
Though, apparently, she didn't quite get it. Thankfully. =P
Mum: "........ I don't mind if you have a boyfriend wan. But you have to be honest about these kinda things. Who is he? Why is he on your wishlist??"
Me: "He's the guy I've liked for the past three years ....." -_-''
Mum: "Three years?! Wah I thought you were very 'fa sam' wan. All my friends said you look like a bad girl when they saw you that day!"
Ahh, another first impression down the drain. Seriously, I give out the shittiest first impressions ever. I get everything from lan ci, snobby, bitchy, to hiao. =(
Me: "Speak of loyalty, I'm the most loyal person on earth okay ... "
Mum: "Hm ....... Well, since you like him three years already also nothing happen, I suggest you go find somebody else. Someone older and most importantly, MUST BE RICH, generous and good to the future mother-in-law ... Not handsome nevermind ..."
Me: " ..... Errr. Thanks for the tip."
...... -_-
Moral of the story: Never put the name of the guy/girl you like on your wishlist board, cause when your "kepoh" parents find out, they'll most likely find a way to make it about themselves, and use it as an opportunity to shatter your dreams. =(
Since I can't get the guy I like, like my beloved mother helpfully pointed out, at least I still have my dog. =(
