Why is a HDB car park so full on a Friday night? Don't the residents go out?
"Haven't seen a new bruise the whole week," you announced as you finally backed into the only available parking slot.
"You sound disappointed."
Later at home, I could see that the old bruise on your right tricep has started to heal. The centre of the bruise has regained the usual healthy skin colour leaving a swirling ring of purple.
I am worried.
You woke up with 2 bruises the size of fifty cent coins, one on each arm. You don't remember what could have possibly caused them and I don't remember seeing them the night before.
You said, "I know someone who had such mysterious bruises before. It could be caused by some blood-related disease."
"Is it serious?"
"Fatal," you said.
"You should see a doctor tomorrow."
You said, "Let's wait and see if more of such bruises crop up."
Sis and I took mom to Castro.
Mom was noticably uncomfortable walking down Castro street after we told her that it was a gay district. She refused to acknowledged that same sex couples were holding hands freely. She grumbled when I bought souvenir rainbow flags with stands. She preferred to wait outside the boutiques while we shopped.
I was noticably more impatient with mom for I felt sad that she was still unaccepting of my being gay.
Then she asked if I had called you on the telephone since we left Singapore and I knew I had misunderstood her. For whatever reasons she was uncomfortable with Castro, it wasn't because I was gay.
Lunch and a movie?
UOB gives special discount to card members who dine at selected restaurants on their birthdays. We should take advantage of it.
Also, we have been planning to catch The Da Vinci Code since way before it was released but just never got around to doing it. Unfortunately, not many cinemas are still showing it. Good thing you are off tomorrow so we can catch it during one of the afternoon screenings at Golden Village.
We are still together.
For months and months, you've been working 7 days a week. I stay by you and try to be as understanding as I can. Though I yearn to go on a holiday with you, just a short one, or go shopping, or even spend a day doing nothing except to watch a dvd, I make no requests.
Then out of the blue, you tell me you are going on a fishing holiday with your buddy. You cannot imagine the disappointment I feel right now. I almost need to throw up...
