Hi and Bye

"Byeeeee!!!! Be home early ! "

"Drive safe ... ! Don't forget to pick up this and that.. !"

"I love you !"

"Be back for dinner !"

The stuffs an Eva Longoria looked-alike wife will be telling you before you leave home for work everyday, in her sexy lingerie. And when you got back, you will be greeted with "Honey, you are back !" with her loving kiss and in her tight embrace. Aaahh ... how blissful life can get.

BUT, you will only get that if your Eva Longoria looked-alike wife is a full time homemaker. And, provided she doesn't have a handful of children to look after. And, most importantly, she must have a fat allowance to maintain the level of cheerfulness and of course, her gorgeousness.

I am none of the above and as a result, Jef has none of the above. However, don't need to pity Jef. He has a sweet replacement. His sweetie son greets him bye's and hi's to him each time he leaves home or vice versa. Yeah, Ivan the sweetie (and long winded). Each time he leaves home, Ivan would say, "Daddy, hug and kiss !" "Can you remember all the things I tell you?" Daddy replies alittle too quickly, "Ya ya ya ya". Sensing that Daddy didn't remember after all, Ivan said, "Why you cannot remember? First, I say, drive safe. I say what? I say I love you 100 times. Remember that please, okay and I say, call me if it's jam. Remember ! " "And Daddy, come back early!" "Have a great time at work ! Daddy, remember all I said, okay?"

This chatter box cutie little pie sends him (and I) off to work sometimes. Oh ya, incase you are wondering, when we got home, instead of "Hi Honey, you are back?" We got a "Surprised!!!!!!!". Ivan would be hiding and jumps out of his hiding spot to surprise us.

Life is still as sweet and blissful even though there's no Eva Longoria. *teehee*

Just to share, whenever I leave home in Malacca to come to KL many decades ago, I used to say to my dad, "Be good ya, don't stay up late everyday and call me !" Sounds like an over protective daughter? Haha ... actually, this was what he would be telling me. I'm just reading his mind bubble out loud. Cheeky huh? :)
