Correct. Ah Sum = Maria. (kiddin' la, my nickname is related to chinese name)Originally posted by littlestream:
Aiyak, aiyak.....ai tio lai siong liao. Aiyoh, Cam....you so cruel. You made me burst out. My skirts quite tight already know? Wait, the seams pecak.
I thought "Ah Sum" means kang lang (maid).
Coz u juz can't bring urself to be mushy towards males. However, most younger bros will have no prob addressing their "Gors" as a sign of respect.Originally posted by coffeeortea:i have a younger sister and brother.. i call my sister "mei" and my brother by his name.. i dunno why lol
You bluff me one. I don't believe you are Ah Bui. If I ever visit Sg, we must meet up. If you sui sui one, you blanja. Deal?Originally posted by Camellias4me:Correct. Ah Sum = Maria. (kiddin' la, my nickname is related to chinese name)
Anyway, my eldest sis often calls me "Ah Bui".
