My Heart Gets A Little Prick Prick

Some typical coversations between my future mother-in-law (if I get to marry Mr. Gecko) and I go like these...

Topic 1 - About one of her favorite son's ex-girlfriend (repeated throughout 5 years)
AUNTIE: A*** and Y**H** went out together for 8 years, too bad they don't end up together. Both of them very good together, go out together and wear the same clothes. She is a very good girl you know, I love her very much, I still think about her and love her very much.
ME: Oh I see Auntie. That's very nice. I've seen her before and thinks she is very nice too!
AUNTIE: (holding my hand and looking into my eyes earnestly) She's also very pretty u know, very pretty girl, very pretty. I really love her lah.
ME: *smiles a widely*
AUNTIE: (eye to eye with me again) She's really very pretty, you know.
ME: Oh, ok auntie... (???)
(Auntie walked in front of me and conversation ceased)

Duh...

Topic 2 - Buying a roof for Mr. Gecko so all her sons can live with her under her one roof (repeated throughout the times she came over to stay put with Mr. Gecko and me)
AUNTIE: I ask Mr. Gecko to take my money and buy a flat in Singapore so all the brothers can stay together. Uncle and me can visit them or come over and live together.
ME: Auntie, Mr. Gecko must marry before he can buy a flat in Singapore. Besides, we are happy living in our current place now.
AUNTIE: No need one [to marry me]. Mr. Gecko can buy the flat together with his brother. I'll ask him again later.
ME: Oh, ok auntie...(???)

Duh duh...

Topic 3 - About me (a short conversation auntie had with her ex-best friend)
EX BEST FRIEND: Mr. Gecko's friend good girl hoh (referring to me).
AUNTIE: Ok only lah.

Duh duh duh...
