Stuck in the Cheong Sam

Tuesday, 3 January, 2006
General | 笔者: Twinsmom

I stuck in the traffic jam, I stuck in the rain, I stuck in the delay flight… and never thought I stuck in a dress!

OK, OK… after read the comment in loose weight, and thought … well, it might be a good idea to take the *before* picture with me in the cheong sam, then later take the *after* picture to compare.

So I open the closet took out my cheong sam and get myself into it.

waliao… squeeze and squeeze, and squeeze, finally I am in it.

Ai yah… the zip… take a deep deep deep breath zip across my belly, hold the breath, hold the breath…. then slowly exhale…. *phew*… no hear any thread tearing sound, good….

continue zip up… ah… KNS… zip till the breast cannot zip liao, not my breast got bigger OK, I wish though. but my back so meaty!!!!

panting after the whole wearing process, sweating all around, OK, burnt some more fat, may be I should include this as one of the daily exercise hor?

OK, I really cannot zip the chest portion.

and mean while Isabelle came into the room.

:isa: : “Mommy, what are you doing?”

:tmn: : “Trying the baju lor.”

:isa: : “Oh… want jie jie help? come, I zip for you.”

:tmn: : “No need lar, cannot zip already.”

:isa: : “Why?”

:tmn: : “You lor… you and mei mei fault lor, two of you made mommy so fat now lor…”

:isa: : “Oh… I see… me and mei mei fault ah?…. mommy, can jie jie wear your fault?”

:tmlol:… speechless… she got no idea what I was talking about, but simply answer.

:isa: : “Mommy, you look so pretty, you got flower on your dress.” Then came forward pat my belly and said : “wah… mommy your tummy so big.”

Then never mind, she went out and called her sister :’”Mei mei, mei mei come, come see mommy tummy so big in flower baju…”

*@#$%*

I tell you, I *have* to get rid of this thing *point to my tummy*.

Then two girls sit by the bed see me undress.

*cham lor*… the sleeve stuck near my arm can’t take out! it kind of like my two arm kena bind by the sleeve.

I try to reach my left arm with my right hand, sh*t! cannot, my right arm kena bind tightly, move my left hand to help right arm, cannot also, left arm kena binded so limited the hand reaching range.

after five minutes… sweating again…

call the girls: “jie jie, come, help mommy pull the sleeve down.”

:isa: : “What happen? what happen?”

:tmn: : “Ai yah, just pull lar, don’t ask so much lar.”

“OK.” she pull the sleeve…. “cannot, mommy… I cannot…”

Annabelle came to aid, “come, mei mei help.”

she more detail, she look at the sleeve, then slowly squeeze her tiny finger between my arm and cheong sam, get hold to the sleeve then pull bit by bit.

*phew*…. one arm saved, then I pull another side down.

Then I so tired forgot to hold my breath, couldn’t pull the cheong sam down my tummy! *dude…*inhale, hold breath…pull…

I look at the girls, they look at me… “mommy, why you so sad?”

“No lar, mommy no sad, just…don’t know…”

then Annabelle said: “Mommy, baju so small hor? mommy cannot wear.”

*bohoohoo*….

    I think you better teach your girls CPR or have them prepare to dial 999 before you try that again :P

    I just love the way when they are concern about you, wait until one fine day, they will say like this ‘ huh! mum, you still want to wear that ‘thing’ come on….face the reality’ then they start laughing…but actually, they think you look great :-) Anyway, I’m sure you’ll not let them have any chance to say that to you, right ? Gambade…

  4. Jason 回复于 3 Jan 2006 3:40 pm |

    Hahahahaha… I think you better go make a new cheongsam, rather than trying to fit into that one. It would be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier. Hahaha… Annabelle very de clever.

    i tried to imagine you, in your cheong sam, and having your belles by your side as your cheerleaders.

    on one hand, you probably was sweating, (you know Malaysia how hot lah), trying to get rid of the cheong sam from your body; on another hand, you were also sweating, as you were busy entertaining your belles (cold sweat came from their words, =p )…

    your belles, of course out of good willing, were trying to help. little did we know that, although unintentionally, they said something cute/harsh/unprocessed/unfiltered …

    on one hand, they never forget to give compliments about your dress. ‘Wah, got big flower, so pretty!’, but then later would pat on your tummy and make a comment about that. *lolz*

    then later on, after all the hoo-ha of removing the cheong sam … did not forget to comment on how small the baju is …

    aigh. kek sei it is.

    did you ever wish that they don’t grow up so fast?

    i will rather they stay adorable always, saying nothing else but the cutest words … haha.

    now I am the naive one. bleh.
    =D

    hahahah! how hilarious!!!!! ok..may i suggest the atkins diet - cut out the carbs, eat more fruits, eat fruits in between your meals cause then, you won’t get sooo hungry by meal time and wallop! good luck girl friend!

  17. Earthtone 回复于 3 Jan 2006 8:21 pm |

    hhaahahahhaha….
    yah..I was also laughing along the post..
    at the cannot-get-out part, I imagine like David Copperfireld trying to get out of the madman jacket in the water tank…

    Now fat is cute.
    Twinsmom, make it the in thing.

    Btw, can fit one. When you fat and feel tight in the cheongsam, it seems like never can make it. But after you slim down, everything becomes possible.

  18. Jefferene 回复于 3 Jan 2006 10:03 pm |

    hahaha! Anabelle very smart, she knows must squeeze mummy’s meat little by little to take off the cheong sum!

    Once for while, I will take out my old Levi trying to fit myself in too but still couldn’t zip up!
