New Din Din!

It's a boy! New baby boy. In case you can't see it at the very first picture, those are the words. So today was indeed a very great day. Plus the awesome weather, me and my 7 friends made the-most-awaited visit to Jo Shuan's (our favourite Taiwanese friend). She was married to Selim, a Tunisian guy about two years ago. What a marriage! A Chinese to an Arab, a very rare one. It was a joyful moment when Jo Shuan announced her pregnancy. We were at her house at that time too and the day was fulled with laugh and smile. We just can't wait the moment when we can hold and kiss the special baby. And it was a big question among us of how will the baby look like. To be a hybrid of Chinese and Arab genes, he must be a very handsome man one day. On the September 27th, the baby was born and named Shamseddin. But for his Taiwanese grandparents, Din Din is a simpler name to call him. What a cute name. Being in the house for over an hour made me realize of how marvelous a cross-racial marriage can be. Jo Shuan's parents flew over thousand miles just to welcome their new grandchildren and so did Selim's mother. They get along very very well and it seems that they are from the same race and cultural. They don't look awkward at all. But the thought was not great enough to influence me as Malay guy will always be my choice haha. On our way back home, each of us was fantasizing the day when we get to be in the same place as Jo Shuan. They all just can't wait haha.

PS: To all my friends, don't you ever dare to forget me and invite me to your wedding!

PPS: And when you get a new baby too! :)
