My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh, mother, dear,
We're not the fortunate ones,
And girls,
They wanna have fun.

Someone passed me the YouTube link to a song from not-so-long ago.
As a pimply boy, I got teased quite a lot for listening to Cyndi Lauper's songs. Punk had arrived in Singapore a few years before. It was also the era of flashy clothes and Centrepoint Kids. Going to a "good" school, it wasn't easy being different from others, especially if that difference was perceived with a negative tint.

I had an oppressive childhood and that is the main contributing factor to my liking for anything anti-establishment. The question that's constantly in my mind is, "Why can't you leave me alone to do my things?"
And I must add that the best thing that happened to me is being married to Wifey. I can get away with a lot of things with her. Heck, I even envision Faith dressing up like Cyndi Lauper when she grows up. Now THAT would be interesting...
