CME hw- Interview with your parents about marriage

Well interviewed my mum, asked that question like long ago. Then i got that "bo liao ar?" face from her when i asked her again. Oh well, here goes again.

Background information:
Dad studied in chinese school, mum studied in english school. But they're sorta neighbours so they know each other since young. So anyway, dad went sailing so lost contact with mum and stuff. So after mum graduated from secondary school, she went to become an accountant for some small office (but she did manual labour like moving chairs most of the time) and my dad went sailing. Like years later when my dad ventured into business, cause he knew many different ppl, he got a good deal in selling his accuqired goods in thailand and stuff. So anyway, when their parents had some sorta old fashioned matchmaking, my dad met mum again and started dating and stuff. So being normal, my father often brought my mum various coffeeshops for supper, watch movies and stuff. Then they got married, they actually went HAI NAN ISLAND for their bloody honeymoon (which my mum still complains till today)

*note* My grandfather's hometown = hainan island

So anyway, heres the interview

Uni: Ma, what do you think marriage is?

Mother: it is a different stage from dating, its not about love for each other anymore.

Uni: o_O

Mother: Try facing the same spouse for so many years, no matter how thick the love is, it'll be diluted later on

Uni: *nod*

Mother: So marriage, is a different level, its all about living with each other and tolerating. And having your brother, your sister and you, is what continues this marriage. So in future, you'll know why we want grandchildren >=D

Uni: O_o
Uni's thoughts: wah lao, so early want grandchildren, ask kor la -.-ll
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uni: So would you be biased when you want a boy but gave birth to a girl or vice versa?

Mother: Aiya, i love you all the same la, just that the first birth your father and i want a son, then a daughter, 3rd one boy or girl also can..

Uni: Why would you want a son at first?

Mother: Aiyo, every parent would be excited to see their son start a family what, your father would love to have a grandson asap.

Uni: Ehh, so would you consider your marriage a success?

Mother: OF COURSE! Raise you kids until so old already, can tolerate your father and your grandmother in that time, still not divorced yet, very successful already! And your brother graduating from university soon, next one see you already!

Uni's thoughts: UH OH! SHE WANTS ME TO STUDY HARD! -.-

Mother: Aiyo, shouldn't you be doing homework, ask so many silly questions for what?

Uni: This IS my homeowork!

Mother: DON'T BLUFF ME! YOU'RE ON THE COMPUTER AGAIN ISSIT! YOUR O LVLS COMING ALREADY! STILL PLAY SO MUCH!

I hope your mother got over the 'shock' of you not doing your homework and asking her wu liao questions instead.

Nice little insight into your parents' lives, isn't it?

I'm looking forward to reading about it.

PS: I'm typing this in the midst of my seminar. They're doing a session on weblogging!
