I love babies. I think everybody does. Even the most heartless person in the world would at least show a tiny bit of compassion towards babies. There is just so much purity in a baby's face and their thoughts since they have not been polluted with anything.
A baby always reminds me of a plain white paper. Whatever is written on that plain paper will soon define the meaning of that paper. If for instance you use that plain paper as a page of a textbook, it will come useful. But when it is found as a page of a Hello! magazine, it becomes pointless. (no offense to fans of Hello) The plain white paper can even be made evil when it is sent as a hate message or used as a blackmail. The bottomline is, a plain white paper can be converted to anything, just like how a baby can grow into a unique individual.
Do not get me wrong. I am not having some emotional motherly instinct right now. Neither am I planning to have one soon.-.- I am just blogging about this subject because just yesterday I visited my ex-Biology lecturer's houseto see her 1 month old daughter.
I went to Sunway first just for some window-shopping before heading to Taylors to meet up with PM4. Gosh, I really missed them especially those that did not come for the previous Sunway outing. As an ex-Peeamfourian, I receive my class T-shirt that they were all wearing today since it was considered a "class trip".
Then, we went to our Biology teacher's house in 6 cars! Hui Chin, Roshan, Shin Yee and Chia Yew were among the drivers. I sat Hui Chin's car and I have to say that I really respect her boldness to travel so far and her ability to remain calm throughout the entire journey. She is pretty steady in driving and we reached there safely. In fact, when we were near the housing area, since there were practically no cars but the 6 cars, we actually did a little "fast and furious" act. LOL
I actually felt quite pai seh about the idea of 24 people storming a lecturer's house but Miss Ko seemed ok with it, so we went straight in. She even allowed us to take turns to hold the baby, which I never even thought of trying because I was too afraid. I am the youngest one in the family and the line of my cousins, so I have zero experience carrying a baby. In fact, I have never even been this close distance to a baby.
Her name is Chong Yong Wei. She happened to have the same "Wei" as Zhen. Everybody's attention was at her and she was such a loveable baby. She did not cry the entire time we were there, which was an unusual thing according to Miss Ko. She occasionally move her mouth and make cute gestures, causing us to love her more.
Daniel: Teacher, can I marry her?
*Everybody laughs*
Zhen: Wah teacher, your daughter is so lucky...so fast got marriage proposal already
Miss Ko in a joking manner: That depends, will you be willing to wait that long?
LOL!
Zhen: Yong Wei, must study very hard and be smart and do A-Levels in Taylors, you know..
Esther: Come on Zhen..She is only a month old!=P
LOL again!
We left Miss Ko's house after about an hour. I got a lift from Chia Yew instead since he could send me to the LRT station. We did a little "fast and furious" again on the way back.LOL.Sitting in the car with a bunch of guys was hilarious. Daniel puts on a Buddhist prayer on Chia Yew's car stereo and was trying to "hum" to it in a weirdly funny manner together with Tim. Kong was showing some impersonation of our lecturers, as usual. LOL.
Tim: Oh no, Hui Chin's car cut us again.. ala we're the last now
Chia Yew: Nevermind, lets take a longer way and divert ourselves from them, pretending we got lost just to make them feel guilty.
Moments later..at the Subang Jaya roundabout
Tim: A la, they didn't even call. They don't care about us anymore..
*Tim's phone rang, Alyssa on the line*
Tim:Hello...........yea......we're lost la......all your fault la.....cut us and leave us behind................ha....we're at......er.....somewhere la....we don't even know......at Jalan Terubuk..........got err..........a Petronas Station...........and a SHell station..........you come and fetch us la
All of us in the car were controlling our laughter as Tim put up that act. Alyssa really fell for it and almost wanted to ask Roshan to fetch us! Lol
After we arrived..
Alyssa to Tim: AIya, what Jalan Terubuk you talking about???!!Where got such thing as Jalan Terubuk???Aiya, you ah..
Chia Yew dropped Shin Yi and me at the station. We compare our colleges and things in our current life in our conversations during the journey there. It was a fun trip overall. Somehow, PM4 always manage to spice up an outing..Lol. I miss being a Peeamfourian.=)
