The 40-Year Old Virgin

I have known him since I was a kid. He’s my cousin, a very funny and lovable guy.

I always thought his hands are more at home carressing his many cameras, his eyes always looking for the next bird or flower or scenery for the subject of his photograph than babes.

Last night, the playful little imp in me decided to do a little teasing on him.

He had been begging to photograph me in my cheongsam since I walked into the family dinner, so I insisted I’ll only let him do that if he takes the picture with me and later on, join me to party the night away.

Getting the photographer to pose for a picture is hard work.  He was so stiff and insisted of keeping his hands in front of him ala the wall in football matches.  That, despite my other cousin who is taking this picture asking him to stand closer to me.

His mom, my aunt, was a real sport throughout the whole thing, laughing the whole time.

Dude, you sure know how to make a girl feel special.

Next time we meet, I won’t call you "Kor Kor" any more.  From now on, it’ll be just plain ol’ Uncle :p
