I love festivals. Eat. And eat. And eat. Its the ultimate thing to do during festivals. But somehow, I do dread attending big family dinners at times. I love get-togethers, but not when the unlucky me gets interrogated by several aunties and uncles the whole night. This is what happened last night, during the Ba Chang festival.
Questions like what and where I am studying currently are forgivable even though I have given the same reply for the past 2 years, but not when they start comparing (ridiculously) me with other cousins and sons or daughters of their friends which they could think of. I hate putting on a fake smile and nod in agreement even though they have gotten the wrong information. So, I chose to defend myself or clarify the right information with them regardless of how poor my Hakka is.Nevertheless, this was the most popular question they popped up with.
"So, after studying, get married lor. When do you plan to get married?"
Selina: "....?? Er..I will be 22 only when I graduate. What's the rush?"
I can't imagine how am I supposed to face this question for another decade. I think I will dread going to my aunt's house even more.
