Have you ever wonder

Just as I thought I lost Mr. Inspiration and that it will take me quite some time to blog about something meaningful, he appeared! As I was lying on my bed, ears plugged with my earphones, listening to T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" while thinking about my baby, Mr. Inspiration decided to give up on the hide-and-seek game and came back to me! Swooshh.. A gush of wind so strong that I had goosebumps.

Being a Woman In Love (this is so Barbara Streisand), I realised many things. For starters, I call my significant other "baby". Shereen herself calls her significant other "baby" too. Have you ever wondered why the term "baby"? Its not like your significant other is your newly-born child or for that matter, any other newly-born child. Maybe its because your other half is your newly-born love? Or because its something new? *yikes*

Then, I know people who call their better half (this normally occurs only when they are head over heels over someone) "abang". "Abang" means elder brother in English. Why "abang"?! Its like you are committing incest with your better half when clearly (and hopefully!) the both of you are unrelated. *horrible thoughts* No offence!

Putting that aside, I know people who call their worse half (this is normally true) by the name of Food. Being a Malaysian myself, that four letter word is indeed constantly running in my mind but calling your worse half "sugar" and "honey". Hmm...thats what I serve with when I have roti canai. Its like you hate your worse half so much that you have decided to call him/her "sugar" or "honey" and whenever you have roti tissue/canai, you got the feeling of gobbling him/her. Try calling him/her "nasi lemak" or "puttu mayam". Isn't that ROMANTIC?

Of course, we have the typical "darling" and "dear". But I think, that can be referred to anyone in general. My own conclusion is that when two people fall in love for the first two, three, four year, they start by using names like "baby". Some might get so used to it  (and on most cases, they forget the name of their significant other) and will continue calling their significant other "baby". Sooner or later, the word "sugar" or "honey" is being used. That's when hell breaks lose. 

Girl: Baaaabbbyyyyyy..... *while kissing and caressing her significant other* is it okay if I call you "honey" or "sugar" just to spice things up?

Boy: But why, baby? You have been calling me "baby" for 4 years now

Girl: *trying to control her emotions* 5 years!

Boy: Well, I meant 5 years. I cant think straight when you are turning me on. Whatever it is that you call me, I'm fine with it cause I still love you *big boy rises*

Girl: I LOVE YOU SUGAR!!! *big kiss on the face,switches off the lights and goes to sleep*

And that's when the girl goes to the Mamak almost every night with her girlfriends to have roti tissue.

p/s I would like to apologize if I DID offend anyone or if anyone of you thinks that this post is ridiculous. Oh and baby, this won't happen to us, hopefully.
