Incinta, pregnant in Italian…is the state my lil sister’s in right now. Pehh! Fourth month’s month-iversary and the good news! Pretty ‘express-ive’ eh? Congratulations to Lil Sis and her Lo Kong. Soon Kitreena will have a baby cousin! I am so excited to hand down all my ilmu to Lil Sis now. Since I had to brave it all by myself during my time, I guess I learned a little more by trial-and-error. Not to mention my excitement to menurunkan all the bajus Kitreena got as presents. Can’t wait!
Now, wait a minute! How do I know I can turunkan the bajus? What if it is a boy? Alah, a baby is a baby. There’s no harm for a boy to wear pink, is there? Eh, jangan kau…I know some people who would freak out to see their son wearing fuscia pool diaper when the blue is not available (and that fuscia diaper is worn on the INSIDE of the swimming trunk, mind you! This is not superman or superbaby we’re talking about, wearing his underwear as an upperwear, you tupperware – read:mangkuk!)
So what’s the fuss about colors ni? Would your baby boy turn out to be a “trans-v” just because you put a pink diaper once or twice before his second birthday? Or would your baby girl grow up to be the next Ellen deGeneres because you put on blue pair of shoes on her for a few months? Hello, come on lah kan. To put things in Malaysian context, do you really think those Kelantanese men wearing colorful bunga-bunga batik sarong are sissy?
Think again.
