Yum Cha with the Phytons... Opps Piggy and Baby Hippo (the husband)

Sms 10.40pm : where are you guys?

while I am typing that sms, my eyes was already half close watching American Idol. Then came a reply from Piggy.

Sms 10.45pm: On da way.

Ok la, patient, they are coming....and then came a call, and I went out to meet them. Settling inside the car already fill with laughter.

Piggy : Eh, ask you, there is a pasar malam in Taman Muda right?

Pig_angel: Got. Why?

Piggy : No la, my friend 'pai tong' there, so want to go 'pung cheong'

Pig_angel and Baby hippo very naturally and synchronisingly asked : Selling VCDs is it?? (hahahahahah)

Piggy: Why all people asking me that? She is selling wallet.

First laughter of the night, then we continued deciding where to yum cha and then finally decided to yum cha at Morgini's place (me and brother called that place Morgini's place). Wah Lau, don't know why it was suddenly flooded with homo sapiens young and old, couple and married. Ngam Ngam in the middle got on table with trio chairs...maybe purposely ready for us .... hahahaa..

Waitress: Mau minum apa?

Baby hippo : Milo Kosong Ais.

Pig_angel : Teh tarik Ais.

Piggy : Milo Kosong Ais kurang manis.

Waitress: (nearly scratching her head) Milo Kosong tak ade susu, mau kurang manis lagi ka?

Piggy : Sorreee... Milo ais kurang manis. (Malunya..)

While waiting for drinks to come... Piggy complained on how she got cheated to eat McD that day by the others and then how she found out her 'idol' was actually a friend of her pen pal ... hahahahaa. Suddenly, the waitress come back again....

Waitress: Mau minum apa?

Piggy: Tadi sudah order.

Waitress: Saya sudah lupa...heheheehe...

hahahahaa... we repeated our order and when the drinks is here, we ordered our food. Both the husband and wife ordered roti kosong. And when the roti came...

Baby hippo: EEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee... why round one, why not square one? (besides the shape, I don't think it taste anywhere different..)

Piggy: huh? you like square, I like it round round one wor...ask them to change la..

Baby hippo: Never mind la..

At the same time, Pig_angel finally make up her mind to eat.. ten ten ten... MAGGI MEE GORENG SUPER PEDAS! Hahahaha... little does Baby Hippo knows that Piggy is belanja-ing cause she has finally got her mileage reimbursement. When he finds out...

Baby hippo: Yiii... why didn't you tell me? I would have eat something else... yiii...

Pig_angel: You blur blur only ma... did not notice... hahahahahahahaa....

Then we carry on chatting and Piggy ordered her second roti canai, this time it is square.. kek si baby hippo... eyeing in envy, but don't dare to order again cause takut gemuk... ahem, actually one extra roti canai will not effect much since you already got a phyton belly... hahahahahaha.
Then we brought the topic back to toilet...on the blog Piggy put on. Then on Niagara falls toilet bowl.

Piggy: My goodness, the toilet bowl keep on flushing, like when you just drop out and then it was
flushed off..

Baby Hippo: Not good meh, once out already flush off.

Piggy: It works on the man urinating bowls I know..

Baby hippo and pig_angel were looking at her.

Baby hippo: No la, it only flush when you flush it.. there isn't water flowing continuously.

Piggy: Huh? I always thought it is..

Pig_angel : (already seizure) then that fella p**** will be wet, then might as well don't pee...

One whole big laughter broke off from our table... and Piggy was red in shame.. hahahahahahaahaa... cannot imagine, how to urinate when the bowl keeps flushing water down on your p****... hahahahaa.

Piggy then continue.

Piggy: But then there are some toilets with very sensitive censors. Like the one in KLCC. I just move a little to grab some toilet paper, there are already flushing. Like trying to sholve you out of the toilet or ask you to butt off faster... hahahahahaa...

Baby hippo: yeah lo, yeah lo that one very sensitive. But then hor, I went to one that has no censor one. You are supposed to press on the small small button. So small, somemore same colour with the wall, cannot see la. So I thought the censor not sensitive. So, I stepped here and there hoping it will flush.

(Baby Hippo must be thinking of Tap dance when he do the steps... hahahahhaaha... oh my gosh!!! pig_angel seizure man! Wondering if he starts waving the hand from side to side... hahahahhaahah)

Boy, that was a good laugh. Then at 12.30pm, we know we have the limit, because Baby hippo's eyes are smaller than a pea. Good gracious.. what a laugh.

Love?

I am a kind of sensitive person. I know that I long for people to care for long time. But until today I still haven't found one, or should I say, I have not been discovered yet. Sometimes I wondered, could it be guys scared of me? I don't know, and I wish somebody has the answer for me.

Him? We started with jokes and close dialogues. Yeah, he do tells me a lot of things about himself, but then I sometimes do question if any of the things he told me is true and not trying to impress me. But then, come to think of it, why do he need to impress me? Highly unlikely.
I always thought the relationship is up to good friends. Yes, I do care about him a lot, cause he allowed me to and he also cares about me a lot but only verbally. And besides in the office, we never sms or talked much on the phone. He has his own activities and I don't know what should I draw out a topic. Some times I can be mump as well.

But then the trip really makes me weighing my thought and feelings again. Why is he doing this? Merely friends? He has been very very caring with me. Never have I been this close with a guy before. Previous guys (friends) I have can be very close but there isn't such closeness (if you get what I mean). To a certain extend, he is almost like a boyfriend during the trip to me. We has been going around together in the whole trip. And he accompanied me wherever I go. Come to think of it, I really wish to have a guy like that to care for me. I feel so secure and happy (bahagia).

Good friends has been asking if we are together - not only Baby hippo, but also gayne and rachel. I actually thought before - "Is it that obvious?". He bought me lunch and breakfast which I never thought he would. Boy, I was over the moon with all the things he do. All this is not luxurious, but then it is already warm enough to melt my heart into half. I don't need him to buy me a diamond ring or a pretty dress, but the action counts.

But then, one thing he has not been mentioning or telling me so far is the girlfriend. I knew he has it, but he never mention about her before, not even in our conversation. So, what is all the secrecy about? If was a sad turn up to an almost perfect dream that I have. I really enjoy the trip and I do hope it is not a two days trip. But then I cannot be so greedy. Has he been anyway not honest to me? Or maybe all that he has done is solely for a soulmate?
Maybe because there is impossibility in us, that is why God created this fond memories for me. At least we had a moment of joy and happiness. But truth is truth and I can't deny it. He might be just taking me as a soulmate and he did has a girlfriend.

Oh, how I wish the girlfriend is not true! Maybe.. it is time to just laid back and let go..

Letter from Colchester, England

I received a 6 pages long letter from aunty Nicola (she is my mum's sis who lives in Colchester, England now with her husband who has kidney failure and diabetes.). In the letter she wrote to share with us her experience on taking care Uncle Guy who has to go through dialysis 3 times a week and in the waiting list for renal transplant. Uncle Guy has a congenital disease, which leads him to multiple diseases. Diabetes is one of them. As far as i remember, Uncle Guy is 14 years younger than my aunty. He is now in his thirties, but he has had a heart transplant done. However the disease progress further, and now he has renal failure. His parents initially volunteered to donate a kidney to him but sadly their blood group is not compatible and his only brother has not volunteered. But Aunty Nicola and Uncle Guy had been very understanding. I remembered that he was always in and out the hospital due to various conditions.

Uncle Guy has to where a long sleeve shirt as the frequent dialysis cause his fistula on the arm sometimes swollen. He also suffers consequences of the dialysis - vomitting, exhaustion, feeling ill, indigestion and pain at times at the joint as the calcium accumulated at the nerve and he is constantly on medication. His diet is strictly least in water and low/almost none potassium. He can only take 3 half cup of tea daily, no coffee. Aunty Nicola has to follow a strict way to prepare his food to make sure it is healthy for him cause a slight mistake will poison him. Aunty Nicola also mentioned that sometimes Uncle Guy will become short tempered and less patient as he used to be, but Aunty Nicola bears with him, understanding his condition. And Uncle Guy on the other hand will try his very best to cooperate and ease Aunty Nicola's burden.

Tough ha? Well, what touches me most is the part where Aunty Nicola mentioned to me that they treasure everyday they spend together and she was always reminded how Uncle Guy was when he was not in this state. Aunty Nicola has to quit her job to take care of him. And they don't have any moeny at all, Aunty Nicola is the sole bread winer. They don't have any child though.

She is actually trying to console me and mum to be strong with Pa's condition. I wanted to cry out when I read her letter, but not in front of mum. Mum can't read in English, I just provide her the necessary details. I guess she was right, we should treasure each day we has with the one we loved. Pa might not with us for long. In a way, we are sensing he already let go himself and only biding his time. He fell down today, sprawled on the floor. Seeing him lying helpless on the floor makes me feel so sore.

Pa is the person who loved me the most. There isn't any other guy in the world who can replace him. As a child, I was the one he pampered. He will try his very best to fulfill my wish even tough it will scrap every penny he has. supportive and protect me and always been there to help me escaped mum's canning session when I fair badly in exam. No matter what I do, he will forgive me and will not scold me. Even if he do, he will be guilty after that. Up to now, he only caned me once and I remembered because of that incident, I did not talked to him for 3 days. I was 11 then. There is always a wish that I want him to live in a house owned and sit in a car I bought. But till now, I have not fulfil this. The proudest thing I ever did for him is to be the first Daughter and the Chin's to get a degree. But he did not have the chance to attend my convocations. He can only see me wearing my robes in the hospital. Aunty Nicola enlightened me today... we have to treasure everyday we spend with loved ones. I know I will miss him when he leave us... cause he is the best guy and father I ever had!

(Aunty Nicola met uncle Guy when she was sent by University Malaya to do her PhD in English Language. For love, Aunty Nicola chose to remain in England, she did not complete her PhD. They got married in England in a small ceremony. Aunty Nicola knew Uncle Guy's condition when they got married. For love, age is not a boundry and what matter most is the time they had spend together. May God bless them!)
