of letters and boring places...
Dear Sue Yi,
We took you to the absolutely without a doubt most horrendously boring place in the world last Saturday. Mommy and I have been talking bout this for the past few weeks and we have decided that last week was probably the right time to take you out for an excursion. I have always thought that probably we can go to a cool place like Youth Park or the Botanical Gardens but mommy was skeptical as she is worried about what viruses those promiscuous monkeys might be carrying and if they will infect you. Besides, mommy also worried that the smell of monkey poo might overwhelm you.
Since we can’t go to the coolest place, we decided to go to the most boring place, specifically the shopping mall. In this case Queensbay mall. I have the faintest idea on why people would want to go there. People just walk around aimlessly stopping from one shop to another. Some of the weaker ones also got voodoo’ed into parting with their money in exchange for stuff that they don’t really need and have a use for. Then there is the pesky people who walk up to you and say that you absolutely need to have a credit card to compensate for something missing in your life. Or young chiku sales man with too much gel on his hair that run up to you yelling “Free for life, Free for life”. Trust me, you don’t need all those la. So that’s why till today I still dunno why people go to shopping malls (except to see what humiliation teenagers incur on themselves by dressing weirdly, but that’s another story).
Mommy got this tip from one of the mommies that she met in the confinement center. Her friend mentioned that she took her baby to the mall early in the morning as there are not that many people there. We thought that that is a good idea because with lesser people, it will mean less people will laugh at us if you decide to cry and make us manic like headless chicken.
So, early Saturday morning, we got you all prep up. Make sure that you have poot poot’ed. Bathe you, fed you and put you to nap for a while. But I guess you must have had a premonition of the impending boredom that you kinda overslept (I wonder if there is such a thing for babies). Anyway, we only got to leave the house at 11.30am.
Anyway, as it turns out, the whole outing was pretty uneventful. You slept throughout and was not bothered by the noise at all. We were able to go and shop for things without much worries and disruptions at all. Some over zealous promoter came over to play kuci kuci with you and say how cute you were. I guess she must be wondering how can a baby as cute as you come from two fugly parents. Must be some recessive gene. You just seem to be in your own sweet dreams while we went about shopping. I mean it’s no surprise that you fell asleep right, after all it’s just the most boring place in the world.
The only glitch that we encountered was that you woke up as we were about to leave and was asking for your milk and to compound to the situation, we totally forgot which floor we parked the car. So your presence and you feeling about the boredom of the place was announced through your cries on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors.
So I guess that’s it. We have suspected that you will not like the shopping mall and it will bore you to sleep. This weekend have definitely proven that. So next time, we promise that we will only take you to the shopping mall if we absolutely need to ok? (exception: maybe once in a while to show off to people that we got a cute baby la)
So after reading this letter, why not show your appreciation to your daddy for saving you from that boring place with a hug.
Love
