Sunday was mothers' day; not that it was different from any other Sunday. Family brunch with, surprise surprise, the family(!!) i.e. the grandparents, uncle and his wife and kids, the aunt, my parents and bro. As usual the "kids" sit on one side while the grownups do some grownup chat-chitting on the other side of the table.

So i sit next to my cousin - who's a guy. We go get our food and when i return to my seat, i realize i had forgotten to take chopsticks. Now, how the hell was i going to eat my Sashimi without chopsticks?! So i moan, "Urgh i knew i forgot something!" "What?" he asks. "Chopsticks!" I lament. "I'll go get u a pair" He offers. Whereupon, i turn to him and see him still sitting there. "Well? im waiting.." i say, giving him a reproachful look. He gets up and its only when he comes back i realize, oh crud. He's not one of my minions.

So of course i had to do some massive damage control. "Thank you!" i chime. Sigh. Maybe i do make use of guys.. a lot. But frankly, what else is the use of them?

For years, ive been told im high maintainance, something which ive never had a problem with. Why abase oneself to being "easy"?
