I don know how but both have some kind of understanding. Misunderstanding is inevitable. We even had this arguement about me trying to understand her. I understand that family is the most impt thing but the thing that I don understand is that why is she so affected with the small small things like brother lost handphone or sister not doin well in school?

At times I feel that she is playing me lor cos getting affected by these things are quite absurd to me. Maybe it's in their culture..

It's true that Vn gals place their family as their No. 1 priority, and sometimes I get jealous when my bx pay more attention to her parents, sister or nephews than me. But I just take it as being part of their culture.

During my last visit to HCMC, another girl called me on my mobile while I was having dinner with my bx. My bx immediately grabbed my phone and told the other gal to stop calling me again. After that event, my bx will always check my handphone for messages and calls. She even hold on to my phone so that when my phone rings, she'll be the first one to pick up and to know the caller is a boy or girl. I must say that I felt a little proud that my bx cling on to me so tightly like she's afraid that she'll lose me to other girls. It also made me very reluctant to 'steal eat' ala Uncle Jack.

She even told me that she have many spies in HCMC and told me specifically not to try anything funny behind her back...
