Ch. 02 Losing my virginity
It was October 30, 1993 and we were at the Meridian Orchard Hotel having a family dinner to celebrate my 18th birthday party, my parents, brothers, Aunties, Uncles and a few select family friends were there to celebrate, somehow it felt more like a celebration for my parents than I but we were all having fun doing the typical Chinese thing of ordering way more food than we could ever possibly eat.
I had arranged to meet a small group of friends after dinner who then took me up to Brannigans at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, it was absolutely wall to wall with good looking guys and girls, it appeared that every good looking person in Singapore was at Brannigans at that time.
Being on my first "girls night out" was fun, people were so merry as they mingled around, drinking, chatting, dancing and flirting, I was absolutely amazed that places like this existed, I had no idea and felt considerably out of place wearing a very expensive cheongsam in what was essentially a western bar.
Out of nowhere a very handsome debonair looking "gwai lo" (Caucasian) came up to me, introduced himself, asked for my name and offered to buy me a drink. White wine was the only drink I knew so white wine it was. I was mesmerized by this man, someone much older than myself, in his mid thirties but the simple fact that he took notice of me and was interested in chatting with me was a special feeling for me.
Half way through my glass of wine I had decided that I wanted 2 give myself up to this man, I was 2 days away from turning 18 and I had found the man that I wanted to turn me into a woman.
