Unveiling the truth

Finally, got to call home. But today's chat with Mum was quite sianz...nothing much to tell her about (so odd hor?...considering how much I talk to her all the time)

She was telling me all about Frederick and his gf. I think my brother's madly in love with this girl, and is making it really official by bringing her to see my parents and relatives already. Kinda shocking. She's probably kinda blending in with my family now, despite still being a little uncomfortable. But I think she does deserve the credit for trying. Mum was telling me that she's hanging out in our house quite a few times a week now...gosh..

And hearing about how open my brother can be about his rship does make me envious. I, too, wish to unveil the truth to Mum. But whenever I talk to her or Dad, I dare not do so. Perhaps I'm just sensitive, but they don't seem terribly interested in finding out more. And the way they sound on the phone makes me sometimes wonder if they're just letting me talk about him because they think it's rude to stop me, and not because they want to hear about it.

I was tempted to tell Dad that I want to go to China during summer, but I didn't dare to.

I really wish I can tell my parents about my relationship, like how I did for the past ones. But I have no idea why I do not dare to do so this time. I can sort of expect their reaction if they do know the truth. How supportive can they ever get regarding this matter?
