My First Valentine
But that rabbit - that was my first Valentine's Day gift from him. Way back in 1996. It's so much older than our Son!
I've gotten a lot of soft toys from him and most of them are handed-down to our Son (you should have seen Raimie's crib when he was a baby! Can't see the baby because the crib was full of cuddlies!) but the rabbit is hands-off for Son. It's special!
And after 16 years, I'm still not letting go of the rabbit.
It doesn't get cuddled now because it is so old, but we have a place for it and it's staying there for many more years to come. <3 <3 <3
I was grinning like an idiot while I read this.
ReplyDeleteFirst reaction: Awwwww that's so SWEET!
Second reaction: Oh, how the mighty hath fallen! I remember you said Zaini didn't want to talk to you at first. Then he gave you this cute cuddly rabbit? That's progress! ^^
Thanks for sharing.
It took a lot of hard work and being totally shameless for Zaini to finally give me that rabbit.
DeleteOn our first date - he didn't wait for me because I was late! And he was totally unaplogetic about it afterwards. @.@ And I was (still am) *stupid* enough to stuck through and get my man.
Man, I sure do not like doing things the easy way, don't I? xD
The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory? :D
DeleteWhy yes, of course!
DeleteAnd I think I was shrewd to pick my battle. Ne? xD
Aww, so sweet! This rabbit sure doesn't age, reflective of the love too, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteBut the rabbit needs to be taken care of and not neglected for it be in a good condition, much like love. Don't you agree? ^^
DeleteFirst Valentine's Day gift, of course it hold something special in your heart. After so many years, the rabbit still look okay and cuddly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I didn't cuddle it enough. ;p
Deletekih3.. mengimbau kenangannnnn gitu.. jiwang jugeks encik zaini ko nih kan??
ReplyDeletemampos dia tak mengaku tau! kakaka
DeleteAku ingat lagi, dia cuti ari tu. Takde pun call aku ari tu. Tiba2, time balik dia masuk ofis, bawak rabbit tu. hehehe

DeleteWhen are you leaving for Tokyo Jamie? All the best at Tokyo Marathon! ^^
Fri morn 8am flight :)
DeleteThanks!
Safe trip to and back! :)
DeleteOMG 16 freaking years?! that is ages!
ReplyDeleteI also have something I still use but it's not as old. It's just a little younger by a couple of years than your doll
Well, you have to be as old as I am to have mementos that are that old! LOL
Deletehahaha, why would your hubby whack you?? i think this is kind of sweet to post that toys full of memory to the public, it means how loving you still are~~ :)
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't want to admit he's a softie! LOL
DeleteEven when I expressed my gratitude for him - say for sending me to a race; he'll just brush it off. ^^
wow that bunny is already 16 years old?? hehehe, now i know at what age you started dating with him already~~ still studying that time?? :p
ReplyDeleteFinished already. I did my diploma in 1 1/2 years instead of 3, so got into the job market early. ^^
Deletebut that looks like a huge bunny and still in a very well-kept condition.. already let him sitting there alone?? should have put it with you on the bed~~ haha!!
ReplyDeleteIn bed, got other "thing" to cuddle lah!
DeleteThe rabbit is so adorable but what a cool way to recycle soft toys. I'm sure Raimie as a baby loved being surrounded by cuddlies!
ReplyDeleteHe still is surrounded by cuddlies. He has a few teddy bears (and a pokemon snake) on his bed accompanying him to sleep even now. ^^
DeleteOh, Lina, you are so sensible and sentimental.... you actually kept all the plushies from your then-bf, now hubb? Awww....
ReplyDeleteYup, never throw them away. They are now in storage. No daughter to give, after Raimie had played with them. ^^
DeleteAnd you even keep your first Valentine pressie *double* awwww.....
ReplyDeleteFirst one is always special right? And the words uttered by the giver when he handed over the pressie makes it extra special too! :)
DeleteI hope my hubb doesn't see my comment here...... *tarik nafas* I got a confession to make, "I don't know where's my 1st, 2nd, 3rd valentines pressies, nor I do remember about it". He's so gonna kill me XD
ReplyDeleteHahahha... you better don't direct him here then!
DeleteBut I lost quite a few presents - that's why hubby stopped buying me necklaces now. I tend to lose them. @.@
at first I think "REALLY? YOUR FIRST VALENTINE?" hahahahahah *laugh*
ReplyDeleteOhhhh 16 years ago . . . . lol what a memory, at least the soft toy still maintain in good shape ok?
Coz my house got 1 soft toy white become yellow >.>
If you noticed, my rabbit's white patched also become grey already. xD
DeleteThat rabbit sure have sentimental value. You kept it well, still look good.
ReplyDeleteI guess it didn't get cuddled as much as it should. ;p
DeleteCutie! Did you let Raimie borrow your rabbit when he was small? :)
ReplyDeleteThis rabbit is off limits. Raimie still trying to get us to allow him to play with it though. ;p
