Tru's family members are also really friendly. There's the brother, Pho, who teases me all the time, the way my brother does, which makes me feel quite comfortable actually. He looks like Caleb Goh (Singaporean actor who happens to be my ex-classmate's cousin), which prompted Ming to nominate him as my 2-week-fling candidate. Hehe, but too bad, he's already got a girlfriend and he's too much like my brother. Gross. Haha. Rebecca is Tru's sister, really funny and friendly too. But she works long hours and I don't really get to see her very often. Tru's parents are nice too, especially the father. The whole family keeps on worrying that I'm suffering and makes me eat all the time.

But fact is, I am feeling quite bored here. I'm practically stuck in the house all the time, whenever Tru's working, which is everyday eversince I've been here. I'm doing basically doing the same things I'm doing at home: eat, sleep, watch TV, read comics and stuff like that. It's quite weird to be doing all these things after travelling for more than 24 hours just to get here. Hmm.

Worse still, Po Chin is not here with me. She's gone to stay with another friend for a few days. As Tru was saying, we can't really do anything exciting when she's not here, simply because then we'll have to do them again when she gets back. So now all I can do is waste my time/youth here, waiting for her to come back, for Tru to get his off-days. Sigh. I hope Po Chin is enjoying herself though. If it turns out that she's not enjoying herself at that other friend's house either, I will just kill. To think I've suffered in vain.

Tru's family members think that I'm being treated unfairly by Po Chin and goes to all means to "cheer me up". Made me feel even worse. They speak Cantonese to each other, which I do not understand. They are obviously very comfortable with each other's company, crack jokes and stuff while I can only smile politely because I only understand a little bit of Cantonese. By the way, Tru's cousins are also here to visit and in contrast, I feel really out of place. But because they didn't want me to feel out of place, they invited me to go out with them. But because I'm quite shy and slow in warming up in general, it really didn't help. I appreciate their efforts though. They didn't have an obligation to take care of me actually.

I feel sorry for Tru too. He doesn't know what to do with me either. He kept on asking me where I want to go, what I want to do, etc, but fact is, I don't know. I would like to go shopping, but it's not easy to go shopping for souvenirs and clothes with a guy who's interested in cars and guns. We went grocery shopping too, which totally fustrated him, because I'm basically an indecisive person and when he asks to me to just buy anything I like to eat, I still walk around with an empty trolley. In the end, it goes something like:

Tru: Do you like bread?
Me: Okay.
Action:We take a loaf of bread.

Tru: Do you want milk?
Me: Okay.
Action: Take milk.

Tru: Meat? How about ham?
Me:Okay.
Action: We buy 200g of ham. Which by the way is really pathetic.

I think it was at that point he really felt like a baby sitter. [By the way, Pho says that I'm a baby for being only 18 years old. I feel major insulted.]

In all, I feel like I'm a burden to Tru and his family, for being indecisive, passive and shy. And bored.
