Little Boy complex

I always felt there was a little boy stuck in me.

Sometimes I think there's really special, but sometimes I think this little boy needs a good lecture down.

Why not little girl? Well, that's because the stereotype in this society is that little girls play with their barbie and probably the most active thing they ever do... is chase butterflies.

That little kid in me is definitely stereotypically boy.

I don't even know why I am the way I am.

Works to my benefit sometimes, like soccer with the neighbourhood boys since I was 7 years old.
I was the best/worst defender ever, I kept my eyes on the ball and I was as persistent as the seasonal cough you get that never goes away.


The little boy in me is the one who enjoys the little adventures, climbing trees, hanging on the handlebars in my dad's car and allowing myself to swing around as the car swerved through the urban jungle...


The little boy is the one who fought other little boys in primary school. beating them in arm wrestles and monkey bars. (yes. don't play play. I am THAT 'sum seng'.)



The little boy is the one who stays positive and butts his head into things whole-heartedly, passionately, inconsiderate to the consequences that have to be borne.



The little boy is the one who hates the skirts because they stop me from taking big steps, crossing my legs when I'm having my lunch, doing spontaneous activities which most girls will say "I can't, not today. I'm in a skirt."




The little boy in me, is generally always the one who gets in trouble.




The little boy in me, is the one my mum always shakes her head and sighs at...

"aiyo, my dotter, so 'sum seng', how to find boyfriend you tell me?"

And then I put my hands against my cheek and sigh to myself.

From little girl to little boy I say: WHY are you like this?


Little Boy: But I like you, I like myself! Don't worry, this will make sure its true love. If you only ever get yourself a bf in skirts, then you'll never be happy , no? Well, the day a guy falls in love with you... and accepts me... we'll know its true love!

Little girl: But when?

Little boy: That... I don't know. But let's not waste anymore time thinking about this! Let's go on another adventure!

Little girl: Argh...... we're just going to get in more trouble....

Little Boy: Oh well, I'll get in trouble, and then you'll say sorry.

Little girl and boy: We're the perfect match! We're the best playmates in the world! We're YOU and we're ME! WHOOOPEEEE!!!



Will you check out that POSE??

AHHH!!! BARBIEEEE!!!
NOOoooOOoooOo~!~!!!


obviously Sheepish with the weird get-up and wondering exactly
what is so funny that the adults are laughing about...



Do you have the little boy complex too? I'm sure you do.

We all do... (maybe little girl for the boys? hee hee hee hee.)

On a sidenote: looking at all these pictures really makes me miss my Po Po all over again. Those who still have their Popo's by their side... go give her a hug now and tell her how much you love her.
