Ayah Pin?!?

That day, Intan (my SIL) heard Lil Cikebum saying..."Ai-lah pi... Ai-lah pi..."

Confused, she asked..."What did he say?"

I smiled and asked back..."What do u reckon?"

Intan : Ayah Pin? I doubt he's saying Ayah Pin!!!

Me : Hahaha....he's saying I love u la....


...and actually, that I-love-u refers to Barney. He got the name from the song I Love U in the Barney series.

I love you, you love me
We're happy family
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

I love you, you love me
We're best friends like friends should be
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

Whatever, little munchkin... Ai-lah pi too... :)

But next time I need to double check..bcoz nowadays he is so fond of Totoman (Ultraman) too. If he sees the above pix, he might think UltraPin is also a hero. Aiyarkkk!!!

MOBS & Alicewonders Giveaway-win a bag of your choice!

Whether it is related to Father's Day or not, there's plenty of contests nowadays. It's just the matter of time, to blog about it. This time, I'm not gonna lose the opportunity offered by MOB & Alicewonders. Thanks a lot, guys!

Ermmm...just look at this Thavasa Red Patent Satchel!

It's gorgeous, isn't it? *drool...drool*

"Me need a bag because I seem to stick to the same typical style of handbags and this rouge, red satchel would bring out the best in me, as its practicality doesn't compromise on style. Nothing like a big dose of bright red to catch some eyes and make a statement!"

Well, I used to feel unsure of styling a vibrant colour bag to match my outfits, but with this bag, I doubt I'd still feel the same. Hehehe

My email adress is : snowwybear@gmail.com

I'm off to enjoy the eye-candies at the MOBS's website! hehe...

Waiting to be hitched

School hol's over...which means that the seasons for wedding invitations, kenduri here and there is also over. I myself have attended only a number of kenduris thru-out my whole life. Not that I don't fancy attending any...but staying at the hostel limited my chances, and I hate it when I haven't a clue of the people around me.

(I suppose that's the reason I had my wedding away from the hometown, so I'd be surrounded only by the people I know)

Anyway, I used to have this fear of what-if-i-were-never-married, bcoz despite pak-toeing quite a number of not-s0-gentlemen (since I left highschool), there seemed to be flaws here and there. I tried to tolerate, compromise, etc but after a while, it still didn't work. So, why wait?

I remember Ms Ooi, my first English teacher who was (perhaps, she still is) a spinster, though she's an adorable, stylish lady. She even taught us this song...

On yonder hills there stands a creature
who she is I do not know
I'll go and court her for her beauty
she must answer yes or no

Oh.. No,John No, John No, John...No!

Oh heck I hear the church bells ringing
will u come and be my wife
or dear madam have u settled
To live single all ur life?

Hahaha... I almost gave up when things seemed not right along the path. I courted various types of men... handsome, ugly, tall, short, fat, thin, working, studying, sweet-talker, realism, Chinese, Malay, Aussie, professional engineer, SPM holder, humble, perasan-bagus type...u name it! Unfortunately (eh, FORTUNATELY...) none came up with a happy ending. Hahaha.

However, when my age reached a quarter century, I started to worry more.

Why? Bcoz I planned to get married at the age of 21 (the earliest) or at most...at 25. Hence, when I reached the number, my youngest sister said... "Not to say that u r not yet married at the minimum age u set, but u r still not hitched at 25." --- that's very true!!!

I later asked the eldest sister... "What if I never say a word (about getting married) to our parents? May be that'll make them worry and started pushing me (they objected my idea to tie the knot before)"

And she answered "I'm afraid if they never complain, and u'll end up being a spinster!"

Hahaha... Yes, that is NOT IMPOSSIBLE! And I didn't wanna risk myself just to wake the parents up from their long sleep!!! (Creepy, ay?)


Today, I can stretch my big smile, bcoz I got married slightly after the max age targeted. And was granted the Little Cikebum very soon after that.

To Kizzy, don't u worry too much! In some cases, u might have to make the first move. That's what I did when I started dating MrHubby. Kalau tunggu dia, haihhh.. dunno when he'd make the first step (bcoz he thought I was already seeing someone by then -- memang pun!)
