Some funny and not so funny excerpts of conversations I had this week:
“Where’s the jack?”
“In my handbag! Where do you think the bloody jack would be?!”
- in relation to my car’s flat tyre
“He’s my stepson”
“Is he legally your stepson? Has he been adopted?”
o_O
- in relation to a conversation I eavesdropped on
“Who’s that guy?”
“The Agung”
- in relation to me not recognising our new King who was making a speech on tv – Daulat Tuanku beribu ribu ampun patik mohon
“You’ve got the wrong number”
“Ngor hai Mother, um hai wrong number!” o_O
- in relation to the odd phone conversation I had
It’s been a crazy week topped off by a crazy Friday spent driving all over KL and Selangor from Damansara to Ampang to Subang Jaya and back again. I think my car clocked up more miles than a frequent flier.
Oh here’s another to round it off:
“JC told me that LSP delivered last week.”
“Oh! Was it a boy or a girl?”
“I don’t know I didn’t ask.”
What’s it with men that they don’t ask details like that? I mean its natural when someone tells you that a friend has delivered, that you ask if it was a boy or girl right? Well, I had to wait 2 days to find out that it was a baby boy. Left to my own devices, I’d have found out if it was a normal or ceaserian birth, how much he weighed and what his name was by the time the conversation was through.
So now, I’m trying to find a gift for the new mommy and baby. Ideas? I like giving gifts to the mommy too because I find people tend to focus so much on the new baby, showering it with presents, that they forget the mommy. I guess that tells you what I’d expect if I had a baby some day! LOL…

funny excerpts, even if they’re not meant to be that funny! doesn’t matter if it’s a baby boy or girl, it’s a baby, and deserves all the love and toys and neutral-coloured clothing! *grin*
PB says: Curious mah whether boy or girl… but I agree. All babies deserve the white stuff they are going to get anyway lol!
Oops I did it again! Hehehe… Funny conversations do spice up life, ya?
My favorite thing to buy for new babies are those cute rompers from Mothercare – looks good, presents well and is actually useful for baby. Maybe some pampering stuff for mommy?
PB says: Yep was thinking of some mommy pampering. And your gift for baby sounds lovely! I shall take a look
Lessons on midnite feedings for daddy! Surely new mommy will appreciate that. Yea, wishful thinking.
PB says: teehee… yep I’m sure she will
Have you considered a sleeping sack? Keeps baby cosy and Mommy can rest too (hopefully!). Let me know if you wanna know more
But yeah, about guys not asking for details…it’s just cos they’re guys!!!
What you mean you don’t know who the King is! He’s one handsome man, I tell you! And I got my Bachelor degree scroll from him! Muahahaha
