Hmm, apparently my mom does know that I have a boyfriend She’s not as clueless as I thought she was about it lol. I didn’t have plans after work today, so I took her out for lunch and jalan-jalan. Just as we sat down at Nando’s, out of the blue she just said…

“One year already looo.”
Huh? What is?
“Your break up.” (She meant Calvin).
Oh, ya lor, almost a year already.

Then she asked briefly about if I keep in touch with him, etc etc. Then suddenly…

“So? Your this one, how?”
…? What how?
“Your new boyfriend. How? So sure already?”
O.o <—Shocked that not only does she know, but she’s calm!

That sure was a little awkward, cause I wasn’t prepared for that at all! Though I’m not sure how she knows about it. I mean, dad kind of knows that I’m seeing Rays, but I don’t know if he knew that we’re in a relationship. Did he tell her? Or did she saw it on Facebook? (Yes, both my parents have Facebook, though as inactive as both my siblings lol). Anyway… Despite her previous outburst during our first week together, she was calmer this time. So I don’t know how long she’s been knowing about it. There was no big hoo-hah freaked out objections to the relationship, but that doesn’t mean she’s totally accepting it whole-heartedly just yet. As always, there was a little long-winded ‘lecture’ that how I should be thinking thoroughly about my choice before making a final decision, and to consider carefully about how his everything would fit into mine.

But in any case! I’m kind of glad that she brought it up, you know. Saves me the nervous anticipation of panic anxiety thinking about how to tell her about us. Now that she openly knows about us, there are no more secrets, no more ‘underground’ relationship. Things have eased up a little, but I still need to be on my guard and not take this for granted.
