Every Girl Needs A Few Pairs

Strange that since the last entry came up, Heng-mummy and daddy were very direct and to the point this evening at dinner, "So are you planning?". It's as if they can sense that I've been blogging about babies, in general.

Ok, they've always been direct before. Not like my conservative mum who went, "Uh, 你们...那个了没有?" I almost fell off my chair when she asked that. 什么这个那个??!! More so, this evening was like grilling more than the usual, casual questioning. It was as if they were really pushing for a definitive answer of when exactly.

So since this is the case, perhaps in this entry, if I talk about shoes, someone will buy me a pair! Yes?! No?!

Yups, decided to wear this pair this morning, one of the "loot" from Italy. As I stepped out of the house, I commented to The Boy, "Wah, no wonder I love F. It's really shiok. Feels as if I'm walking in heaven."


He looked at me, looked at the shoes, and said, "In this case, why don't you walk to work?"

Husband, you better buy me another pair, for even thinking this way!!!!!!!

hahaha... Jem's really funny :D

anyway, parents are always like that... 1st is "When you guys getting married?", after that is "When you guys getting a house/baby?", after that "When is the second one coming?"

Oh my, that'll be a LONG walk. Heh.

I'm busy diverting arrows now about the second kid... to his brothers!

Little Miss Snooze said...

Oh I like the shoes!!I wanna walk on clouds too.

Though another way to feel like rolling on clouds is to be administered with epidural...heehee)

Okay, now I get the 'When's the second one?' question alot, which is rather silly since Sniffles is only er, 2months plus?

But really, you can't blame us for thinking u will be planning for one soon. There's like plenty of baby posts in your blog!!!

Don't worry, the questions will never end ;)

Gorgeous shoes, by the way. Women are just suckers for ribbony/flowers on their shoes. Wait, scratch that, women are just suckers for shoes!
