girlfriend 123

When Elvis & i first started dating, his other "girlfriends" would call him very often. They include Weiyang (his secondary school best pal) amongst some others guys...and his mother. When he started working, he had more "girlfriends" like Benson... I often tease him about his "girlfriends" coz he would always reserve "special nights" esp friday nights with them - clubbing at Zouk. Sometimes, i feel it's just too often. These "girlfriends" were my rivals, and "sure winners". His mother would also call him a few times a day. When he started working overseas in Bangkok & Shanghai, she would still call him everyday. She's also his "most-ONz" girlfriend coz she'll be at the airport without fail everytime he's back. And with teary eyes when he leaves.

Now that i'm back in Singapore (and Elvis comes over every month), we've been staying apart every time. He prefers to stay at home with his family and his most precious "girlfriend". His mother would always ask me WHY (even after Elvis told her). And my "excuses" for not staying over: uncomfortable for me to sleep without many many pillows, need to wake up to drink milk/eat/pee in the middle of the night. I usually only stay over on his last day in Singapore coz he always take the morning flight back to Shanghai. And i'll have to bring Squooshy every time.

As his current trip back will be the last before our baby arrives next month, i've asked him if he can stay over at my house. Coz he's back only 2-3 days max in Singapore (minus his Bali trip). And also becoz he arrives about 10pm, and we'll need to be at the gynae's at 11am the next morning. He said OK, but truth is, up till the time i went to the airport to fetch him, i wasnt sure if he'll keep his word. Also, i'll feel very "pai sei" to let his mother go home alone (for the first time).

Anyway, as usual, i would find a seat and read one of those free magazines while waiting for him to come out. His mother would be standing by the glass door 1 hour before - even before the plane lands. See, i'm not his best girlfriend! Heehee... ;p
(During his previous trip back, both his mother & i stood at different sides coz we didnt see each other...i waved at him when he collected his luggage at the belt AND as he walks over.... I was standing RIGHT IN FRONT of him at the glass door [distance of just 1 meter] and he didnt see me! He saw his mother first [distance of 2-3 meters]!!! I was a little sore about it coz i thought i looked more prominent with my big belly and cap. And...I'm THE WIFE!!! His reason...I was wearing white. Anyway...i was never the winner.)

When he finally came out (YES, he saw me this time), i asked him where's his mother coz i didnt see her. He had told her not to come coz he's staying over at my house. Frankly, it was a sigh of relief for me coz i wouldnt know how to answer her when she asks me again why i'm not staying over at their house. And now, i'm even dragging her precious son along with me! Phew... ;p

This was the 1st time i felt like a Winner! Heehee... ;)
Hmm...but maybe not for long coz when our baby arrives, Elvis will have another "girlfriend" vying for his attention. ;p

P.S. Just last week, Elvis said that he hasnt gone clubbing (in Singapore) for a while - partly coz his trips back are always quite rush. I said, "Your clubbing friends like Benson have become parents too!" HAHA! BUT BUT BUT, I wanna "complain" here that Elvis goes clubbing up to 3 times a month in Shanghai. That really have to REDUCE when baby is out, right??? ...And the supportive mothers say AMEN! Haha...

TO ANY SINGLE GIRLS OUT THERE:
If u find a boyfriend/husband who's born under the star sign Cancer (click)...u'll NEVER "win" his mother.
