A cold night in Kanchanaburi, Thailand…
Ah Tan: I feel like puking but I can’t sleep yet. OK I ask questions, you guys answer. Tell me about your ideal partner. What should that person be like or what characteristics to have?
Me: My ideal partner must have two eyes, two legs, two hands, two nose, eh, no! One nose, two ears, one…
Ah Tan: Can you please be serious?

Meng Teck: Who’s Aaron? (more…)
