pp.122-127

TSU’s daughter was born. she looks like ME as a baby

Grandma, auntie and ME all gush over her and spoil her

Kim and Chaba bought a chap-ping which TSU was not so happy abt and he think its folly

chap-ping is like a thai jewelry made from gold or silver to cover the private part

TSU bought ME a sewing machine

TSU still accepted it anyway even tho he was rude to it

TSU suggested her name as “Chui Kim“ which is the heroine who threw her bracelet to her lover

ME didnt talk to him for 2 days

TSU doesnt care much since he think that girls will be known by their nickname anyway

Ang Bui bought a new car which is a light blue sedan

Her mom seems to be very happy abt it

AB and mom jis car tv TSU’s house

Weng Khim played in the new car secretly thinking TSU didnt know

AB also suggested the name “Chui Kim“

ME refused but for some reason the baby opened her eye and started to say “er“

so they decided on “Chui Kim“

AB took Weng Khim for a ride

TSU was worry sick

He thinking abt how AB changed alot and that he sees her as bizzare and too daring

When she came back she bought weng khim some toys and an ice pop

TSU doesnt like Weng Khim eating ice pop cz itll make him have an upset stomach

AB and TSU disagree on many things but ine thing they can agree on is CHui Kim
