SNL 2020

Devil's Advocate pt1

May is a busier month than April. At least workwise. I'm doing guestings and interviews, while still contemplating to release an album.

Personal wise...life is going steady.

Or so I thought.

Qing: Why do you need to stay there?

Me: (while packing an overnight bag) Because he is my friend and he needs me.

Qing: You hate him once upon a time.

Me: True. But he is also one of the few friends who knew about our engagement from the get go and supported us through all our craziness. Now, ZhiMing needs me so as his good friend, I'm going to stay on his place for the weekend to keep him company.

Qing: He will be in such a mood because he talked to his mother. If you think my mother is demanding, you should meet ZhiMing's mother. She's the dragon lady of their family and she loved nagging ZhiMing the most. You know what, on second thought, pray that you won't meet his mother.

Me: I'm sure she is a lovely woman.

Qing: (snorting) No. She is not.

Me: (rolling my eyes) Shut it and just reassure me that you will still be alive when I get back from my weekend at ZhiMing's place.

Qing: If I get too lonely here, I will crash on Jin's place.

Me: Why not sleep in the museleom?

Qing: No way. Baba is on his dark mood. I think the midlife crisis is hitting him hard.

Me: Baba is having trouble?

Qing: Yeah. He wants to buy a jetski and ride it every weekend. He said one of his friend can still ride a jetski and a horse. Imagine Mama's reaction to that.

Me: (wincing) I hope Mama didn't say that Baba is too old for jetski and horseback riding.

Qing: (snickering) You can hope.

Me: Oh no.

Qing: Oh yes. So JiJi and I are avoiding the museleom at the moment.

Me: But we are still on for JiJi's Mother's Day party, right?

Qing: Calling it a party is really generous. It will be just us.

Me: A gathering of family and loved ones is always a party to me.

Qing: (grinning) You are a sweet sweet man.

Me: (while zipping my bag) Good. Now, kiss me and tell me you are not mad that I am leaving you to spend time with your ex.

Qing kissed me squarely on my lips. Several times.

Qing: I love you. And I am not mad.

Me: (smiling at him) You are a sweet sweet man.

Qing: Really? Even if I'm thinking of getting Kuai and Kuangnu so they can stay here while you are in ZhiMing's place.

Me: (scowling) You are a bad man.

Qing: When will you forgive me? I miss my babies, Dayu ah.

Me: Next next week. You, together with your dogs, is just too much for me.

Qing: Kuai didn't mean to have an accident in our bed. He is sorry.

Me: I know. But still no. Wait two more weeks and we can have them here again.

Qing: (giving in) Okay.

Me: Now, I have to go. I'll message you once I'm there.
