neh.... i'm not telling u guys a bedtime story.... am not into that at the moment, well... not yet! kekeke....

The Giraffe story started way back in the year 2000 (i think). At that time, i was still studying and Silas just started his job not too long before that. I was staying in Setapak & he was staying with his family in Kajang. On weekends, we would stay in PJ & sometimes in Subang with our dear brother "Doctor" Elvin, aka Elvino (i used to call him that! hehehe...), his family & his then-gf Danielle. We're very close buddies. We yum-cha a lot together - for dinner or supper or hi-tea buffet on Sunday afternoons after church service with Uncle Frankie & family.

We were also very close to Uncle Frankie's wife's sister - aunty Lai Wah, who is a very incredible baby-sitter. Danielle rented a room then from aunty Lai Wah, and so sometimes, we bunked in with her there on weekends too. The Giraffe story started when some kids that aunty Lai Wah took care (her nieces & nephews) called Silas - "uncle Giraffe". They said he has got a long neck, and thus the name "Uncle Giraffe" stuck with him till now... and then... i became "Aunty Giraffe" automatically... (what to do... we're in partnership until "death do us part" :p)

Elvin's sis, Krystyann, called us Giraffes like nobody's business, and gave us giraffe toys as Christmas gift every year! Brenda, who is our "kai-mui" & also Krys' best buddy got "poisoned" into calling us giraffes too! :p Silas wanted to "pay back"... so he called them "tortoise"... hmm... i cant recall how that happened though... hehehe... and so, that's the end of our Giraffe story... Part 1! :)

Part 2.... baby Giraffe was born! LOL! A baby gift set was given to us (for our newborn) from our buddies, Kee Lin & Lauren... guess what?! It's a Giraffe baby set! Hahaha! They didnt know anything about this Giraffe story... and yet what a coincident! It was so funny that when we saw that gift, we relate to them the story and told them how "prophetic" they were! :D

Here are some photos of Sarah girl, wearing her giraffe pants and posing with 2 giraffe toys....
