Tai Lou's Newborn

We went to visit Tai Lou & his family at the Maternity Clinic in Klang last night. Aneh fetched me, headed over to FRG & Nutty's place. FRG drove us in his new car. Had dinner at Syed's near PJ Hilton. Please do not try the maggi goreng there. It's not like any maggi goreng, this is maggi mee with black sauce! Eeeewwww.. Spoilt my appetite.

Anyway, after dinner, we went to the Maternity Clinic, opposite Menara Trend. Visited them for about an hour. Upon seeing Tai Lou & Tai Sou looking so very exhausted, we left and went to SS2's Swensen's for ice-cream.

I tell you, Gerald is sooooooo cute... Soooooooooo, soooooooooooooo cute!!! Tai Lou said he has Tai Sou's looks. Tai Lou told us how the whole thing went, that he kept telling Tai Sou to push even harder, that she was at the point of giving up already. I can't imagine the pain and fear they were both going through. But at the end of the day, all that mattered was the support Tai Lou gave Tai Sou throughout the whole pregnancy and the delivery, finally together, welcoming their firstborn into the world. :) I'm just sooo... Speechless... Sooo overwhelmed with mixed feelings.. I just don't know what to say. Gosh.. He's so tiny and fragile. His hands are sooo small, what's more, the fingers! He was sleeping and at times, he yawned.. Even made pouty looks. Hehe.. Sometimes he would open his eyes to see us. Awwwwwww.. Sooooo cute! Managed to snap some digital photos of him! :)

Looking back on the good old days, it just finally sank in upon us that Tai Lou's now a father. A father!! A proud father of his newborn son, in fact! FRG recalled how when we came back from Sheffield and went for a trip at his place in Malacca, we walked from his house to his car, Aneh told him that "This is it.. This is where it ends.. This is where our lives change". How true that was. We've all grown up, chasing the big $$, and even Tai Lou has now settled down and started his own family. But what FRG said last night was right, the most important thing is that, despite all that, despite living our own lives, all 6 of us are still able to meet up. Especially on such historical and memorable occasions like these, we can still talk about anything, about everything.

I'm being nostalgic here already. So I'll just end today's post with a big dedication to the Sunflowerian family - Tai Lou, Aneh, FRG, Nutty & Chino. I dedicate you guyz the song by Vitamin C..

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same

But when we leave this year, we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day

Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love but it came too soon

And there was me and you and then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on, we remember all the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

As we go on, we remember all the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be friends forever

La, la, la, la... Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la... We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men

Will the past be a shadow that will follow us around?
Will t hese memories fade when I leave this town?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

As we go on, we remember all the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be friends forever.
