i genuinely think i've grown past that rebellious phase even though i'm really just only 18. there's more for me to discover. more for me to learn. but fillial piety is one lesson i'd never forget. one virtue i'd never let go of.
okay cheesiness aside (hehe), i think my whole family knows about my sexual orientation. and they all seem to be fine with it! even the grandparents! cuz, you know, stereotypical chinese grandparents are supposed to be conservative and all. but not my ahma ahgong. nuh uh. liberalism is embraced by the Chew family! hahaha.
NOTE: before today, i've never officially came out to my family members. like "mum, im bi/gay" kind. NEVER. but i do know my mum knows, cuz i dun bother acting straight when i had my boyfriends come over for dinner and stuff.
so i was in the car with my mum and we were just casually chatting abt my sis. and that kind of led to the Mother talking abt how she's always been supportive of whatever my sister and I do. which led to her saying she knows about our "social lives because of the people [we] bring home". and THAT led her to casually talk about her accepting me for my sexual orientation.
and im just sitting in the passenger seat thinking, "oh wow. i love u mum. i knew u knew, but i didnt know you'd be so supportive"
but i didn't say all that la. darn me and my ego for refusing to get cheesy with my mother haha!
so in all, im SO grateful i have such a supportive mother. plus, she's an independent woman and is really funny! I hope she gets a boyfriend soon hah! <3

assembling a fan has proven to be an efficient family bonding activity.
spent about half an hour with my mother and brother racking our brains trying to assemble this new fan we got from ikea. it's up and running now by the way :p
