Blow Trumpet

General | 笔者: Earthtone
I’m sorry I have to override Twinsmom’s serious post at the top about Chinese education with this blow trumpet post.
The trumpet is : I also got something in the mail from friends I know in blogsphere too. *haolian*
My friends, Jason and Munkit sent me a really nice card for my baby’s arrival. Really warms my heart. I haven’t been in touch with them for so long already.
Feel like crying.
Because Jason wrote something very touching. He said Miss Earthtone, now that you are a mommy, this is the last time you will be called Miss.
TA-MA-DE
You know, between the last time I said this and now, which is a few months ago, I’m still freakin’ 60 years younger than my Ah Por. So I’m still damn ABCDEFG young ok?
To prove my point, throughout my pregnancy, when I buy things, people still ask, “Xiao Jie, what do you want?” Xiao jie, ok? Not Auntie. Ok granted last time it was xiao mei, now become xiao jie (sigh). But still…
And, and, and kids don’t lie ok? I was using the toilet at my gynae’s clinic and when I came out, this little boy whose hand was held my his mom said, ” oh, jie jie has come out”
Jie jie - not auntie. Hmmm…so shiok man. Now kids dun lie, do they? Not this love, cute, darling, sharp-eyed little boy.
The whole point of this post is :-
Thanks bundles for the card, I really appreciate and enjoy receiving it. 
These guys are too sweet.
okay lah, damn. I’m an auntie. 
little boy don lie lah..but sure he is very good in ‘tam’ ppl lor..haha
some auntie really doesn’t look auntie lah..my elder sister r like tat lah..3 kids liao..but still look like ah moi ler…
wah…the card finally arrived? hehehe… I gave Jason your addy, I some more thought “hah…you scold or not leh?” happy hor?
msau, same here lar, my another sister also, the eldest going to form 2 liao, people still thought she not yet marry, d*mn…:(
Hey..ET,
So good to hear from you .
I’ve been thinking of you .. and your baby.. but been so busy.. dealing with the business..and troublesome workers…. but i’m really glad to see that you are writing… and joking..
I forgot to mention to you the last time… but things will get better.. i promise you ..
Hang in there..!!!
I said hello to a graduate student from the PRC who was playing with his toddler son and he told the son, “Jiao a-yi.” me: “Oi! Bu yao jiao wo a-yi! I’m only 22!” PRC guy: “To him, everybody over 10 years old is a-yi…”
You must be in pretty good shape for kids to call you jiejie then. Like that Heidi Klum who just had a baby and straightaway went back to being a supermodel =) Congratulations on your little one.
in China everybody over 20 years old is a-yi, maid also call a-yi, a-yi doesn’t means ‘married’ actually
okok, i am also a-yi here
ET, u lucky lar.. pregnant still ppl call u jie-jie. me when pregnant is auntie, after gave birth back to jie-jie pulak
sh#t! it’s been a long time since someone has called me jie-jie ok!….my neighbour’s kids…one about 8 years old and the other about 12 years old ALWAYS calls me AUNTIEEEEE when they see me. I’ve no doubt that they have very good manners indeed…but the sound of “AUNTIIEEE” just re-inforces the fact that I am no longer a jie-jie. *sobsob*!
yeah being called jie jie definitely feels better than being called auntie
tell u an embarassing story; when i was pregnant with my 1st one we (with PILs) adjourned to a club house after dinner, later the captain came to tell us politely that they only allow patrons above 21yo… indirectly refering to me being underaged!!
msau - let me shiok abit lar..hehe..
twinsmom - yah happy…distribute my address at LRT station also nevermind..
Mama Bok - I hope Chloe is doing well too..Busy is good..so nice to hear from you..Yes! It’s almost over and I’m feeling quite back to normal liao… Thanks!
megabigblur - truth be told I also kena called auntie by young kids also…but that’s not the point of this post you see….hehee..
I straddle between auntie and the last final thin straw of “Miss”…still…desperately….trying ….to hold on…
shiaulin - one time lucky
mom2ahsley - I totally know how that feels..hahaha
DG - my 2nd sister also..she was abt 30 with 3 kids and the guard at genting forbid her to enter (I was allowed in, shit)..wah, she damn shiok lor.
What is wrong with this Jason mumble fellow, likes to call people aunty so much one?
He must be very lack of maternal love.
Bochap him!
Me and my friend always joke that we are
“Xi nine” after married. I like her reply when I called her Xi nine, her replied: “是， 我是师奶， 不过我是靓师奶。” 啊Q！
