The Onion & The Christmas Tree..

Those who know me well will also know my love for jokes and the telling of 'em.. i didn't win national storytelling champ for nothing u know! hehe.. anyway.. i just found this one online and thought it was hilarious! will definitely include it in my jokes repertoire.. *giggles..



THE ONION AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

The family is sitting at the dinner table. The son asks his father, "Dad, how many kinds of boobies are there?" The father, surprised, answers, "Well son, there's three kinds of breasts. In her twenties, a woman's breasts are like melons, round & firm. In her thirties & forties, they are like pears, still nice, but hanging a bit. After fifty, they are like onions." "Onions?" "Yes, you see them, and they make you cry."

This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter says, "Mom, how many types of "willies" are there?" The mother, surprised, smiles and answers, "Well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his twenties, his willie is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his thirties & forties, it's like a birch tree, flexible but reliable. After his fifties, it is like a Christmas tree." "A Christmas tree??"

"Yes dear, dead from the root up and the balls are for decoration only."

Besra takes to water like a duck! Quack Quack!!

She was an absolute gem that day when we took her for her first dip in the sea. at first she was a little serious about it all.. then about 15 mins later when she was more confident, you should have seen her splashing about! She does like water a lot.. baths.. swims in the pool.. and now the sea.. guess she's destined to be like her daddy.. Megalus Fishermanus hehe.. but she'll be Minisculus Fishergirlieus.. ok ok. that was corny. haha.. couldn't resist!

Baby's first steps at the beach... this was at our beach at Melinsung Summer Bay..

Hv u ever seen a baby with just ONE TOOTH! Well here she is...!!!

Baby is almost 10 months.. this tooth appeared about a month ago.. hehe.. almost no one i've met n talked to has ever seen a baby with only one tooth!! Still.. she's as adorable as it gets.. and just a few days ago the partner to her bottom front tooth finally showed up.. PHEW!!! hehe.. guess she wont have to waste her christmas wish this year on teeth then.. LOL.

Our home-to-be... yay!

15kg Giant Trevelley: 5 days on local boat near oil rig in Miri, Sarawak

Total catch: 8 GTs between 5 - 15kgs.. conditions of vessel were dire, but martin says well worth it.. GTs r really good fight, but not good eating so proud to say that all were catch n release (which is almost unheard of in malaysia.. what they can eat they take home.. apparently GTs too unpalatable.. hehe)

Our lovely home-to-be ...

Awwww.. 3 cutesies!

I bet the kids will appreciate this piccy when they grow up.. amazing how pics capture the moment.. this one's priceless!

We even had a baby paddlin competition during the party! Weee!!

Double kisses - what a lucky girl you are Besra!

Daddy's 43rd.. i baked the pure gooey choc cake.. yummers!

Baby having a splashing good time!!!

Come watch baby laugh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY-O!!

"DADA..DADA DADA DADA..DADA!!"

haha.. ok.. seeing as baby can't really speak yet and the only intelligible sounds she can make is "DADA" i suppose she means happy birthday daddy when she just says "DADA" hehe..

We threw a great BBQ party for him last Sunday, 2 days early cos it's the best time to have a barbie. Loads of people came round from 4pm and the last one didnt leave till late night. Martin is officially 43 years old now.. hehe.. who would have thought! He looks only 34, or so they keep telling us!

Anyway, honey.. you know your house-full of women - mommy, baby, nanny n ballsie the cat - absolutely worship the ground that you walk on.. oh and the same goes for boy-cat! May you be blessed with many more birthdays to come surrounded by your entourage! We love you, honey!

Look mommy.. I can walk! ok.. sort of.. hehe

Hello hello.. Baby is so big n strong now.. this is what she enjoys the most.. she can't seem to get enough of standing up.. i've heard some people say that they will end up bow legged but hey, according to the latest literature, it's all old wives' tales anyway. She's now standing proudly at 55 cms, 9kgs at just over 8 mths. what a difference from her initial 1.8kgs!!!

Anyway, what's happening in the Wiles' world... well i'm busy as hell with school.. got a really crazy principal who works us like dogs! plus all the other stuff i have one the side, ie tutoring in university, running my tuition centre and home tuition.. lol.. feel like an octopus sometimes!

Martin has officially submitted his resignation. He just got tired of working like a dog too.. and at the whim and fancy of his employers. Plus now he has something else to keep him busy.. did i mention that we finally found a gorgeous piece of land? It's a bit out of town but worth it if u ask us. In the future I might end up complaining like hell cos the drive to the uni each way is one hour but we are seriously considering hiring a driver cum handyman.. hehe so i might become a "Datin" after all!

More about the land.. it's in Papar in a village called Nagapas.. very scenic.. about 1.5acres with fruit trees.. and even part of the Papar river is ours so we will definitely build a tiny jetty. The house we intend to put up is roughly a 40x40ft one with many rooms as we intend to use it as a B&B aka fishing haven what with the river and the fully stocked pond with catch and release fish Martin plans to have.. anyway, that is for the future.. will try to put up a pic of the land but it is a bit messy now as it has recently been cleared.. not sure if you can make it out..

Anyway, suffice to say that i'm happy, and martin n baby are happy.. oh and i miss my best friend Beatrice who is now in UK.. but i am so happy for her that she has now settled down amicably well. i hope. LOL.. to friendship!

My baby girl can really strike a pose!

Baby is now really huge.. 8.5++ kgs.. 7 mths n a week. she loves smiling for daddy's digital camera.. and cos we can take millions of pics literally, we managed to get these priceless shots!

Let's see.. what other cute things does she do? Hmmm.. she likes to continuously suck in her upper lip, not cos she's hungry, but cos she can! you can't really imagine or appreciate it till u see it live!

Plus she still has this thing about projectile vomiting..haha! she's basically taken up where i left off, cos it's no secret that i puked all the way to the day before she was born at seven months. the amazing bit is that everywhere else is pukified.. while she remains spotless with a silly grin on her face as if saying: "Boy, what a relief!"

Anyway, she can sort of roll to the side now but doesnt quite know what to do with her one arm so consequently cant do the full roll.. she can put up her head as in the pics above and smile for the camera though! and she really loves standing if u hold her up.. in fact she demands to stand so she has a better view of the world.. otherwise the whingy monster in her surfaces and that's never a good thing!

All in all, i know i am super biased when i say i have to most adorable, intelligent and gorgeous babe in the whole wide universe!!!!! Yippee!!!!

263 Metres up in air, KL Tower.. with Petronas Twin Towers in background..

4th Prize for 1st try.. not bad indeed..

This was Martin's first shot at the Sabah International Fishing competition recently (early May) and he managed to get a good placing. Caught some nice fish but nothing as big as the 50kg escolar he caught in last year's Labuan IGFA tournament. My hubby's a winner.. he got me and baby didnt he!!! LOL..

Ashley, Zai, Zana, myself and a sleeping princess..

Just baby and mommy.. a day out in the sunny park..
