blues,
pray, do not be swept away by the overwhelming reception that you get in this thread.
the ones here, who wish you well, are very those, who i think, are enlgihtened, and feel, that for the TB community to grow and thrive, we need to change our life model ie to flow along with the times, and quietly and discretely, brush aside the arrogance and racism of the past, to a more egalitarian world.

there is, however, a deafening silence, which you might not have heard. ahh, i have not heard one word of discouragement here. had i, then i would have been gratified, that there is some honesty among the espousers of the racist casteist values.
like their counterparts in the usa, with whom they have a deep cohortness, but whom they would deny to their gallows, these are groups, that believe in withdrawing and shrinking, sticking to their concept of 'blue blood'.
sad to say, dear loved beloved, to them you are no less a 'gook' than those yanks who ravaged your country a few decades ago.
this note, not to discourage you, but a dose of reality, i felt, just fair, for in facing not your beloved's parents, but the society of singapore or saigon paarpaans with whom he would naturally cohort and seek comfot and solutions.
if he goes beyond that, dear blues, the man is a close-enough saint. cling on to him, like the proverbially forbidden chewing-gum that attaches itself to the streets of singapore
on a crude level, what you have going for you, is your fair flawless skin(pardon me for genralizing), not too slant, but titillatingly slanting eyes and above all, the petiteness, which of late, our TB girls appear to have graduated out of, thanks to the prosperity of IT outsourcing, and the newly acquired passion for prepared food and alcohol (on the sly
)
the silent majority, i feel, is against you.
God Bless dear lass.
.. and you too renuka, amla
