Men are nothing but trouble
Auntie Hweech mentioned "the troubles in our lives - men." Uh-uh. I'm THE MAN in my mama's life. Am I any trouble at all?
Of course there are lesser men, such as the three fools who brought my mama to China on a nine-day exercise in futility. Fool No. 1 got loads of money and nothing much else. Fool No. 2, a career civil servant, worships the government and assumes that he, as a loyal subject, is always right, just as the government is. Fool No. 3 is plain clueless. The three fools accused a certain nation of being a hostile neighbour because that nation refused to surrender in a war game. The same three fools were upset at my mama and her comrades for watching that particular nation in combat against someone else. It is a sin to support a neighbour who had allegedly refused to give you some face.
Oh well.
My mama missed crossing paths with another not-so-clever man by a mere two days. On 1 July, the premier institution that is not in Bishan welcomes back Mr Happy in a newly created position.
This morning, my mama shook hands with yet another man and said goodbye. The end of a five year love-hate relationship, barring either mishap or miracle.
To the :O fan club members out there, my many jiejies and girlfriends, all of you who have at some point or another been part of the inane circus, my mama would like to say, thanks for the ride, it's been fun, sort of, at least.
