i.
it’s no compromise -
tai-tai* for the right guy;
be my own woman
ii.
my previous life
an ill fit, a size too small
my well is empty

*A tai-tai is a Singaporean colloquailism (possibly originating from Cantonese) that refers to an ostentatious woman, usually Chinese and Chinese-speaking, who doesn't work, spends her massive free time living it up on her husband's income. She’s likely to wear lots of gold jewellery, have extra-long fingernails, well-honed mahjong skills, and can tell you all about the best spas and high teas in town.
