SSB, when one says goodbye kiss, it's not rated 18SX. Normally it's cheek-left, cheek-right; or air-kiss-left, air-kiss-right... Occasionally we will add on the muah-muah sound effect. French does two times (or was it Italian) and Italian (or French??) does three times.

I normally do two lah, follow the French style, erm Italian style... French. KG, we normally do three times though. Malaysian style? Little Bro, Hobbes, PT (ex). Two; Babies, little kids. Once; Carebear, MC. None. If MC is going away for a long time, I normally give her a big hug. Hee...

So since MFG is travelling, besides telling him I miss him, I should give him a hug and goodbye kiss. (MC, kissES?? Haha...) Okay, I'm not used to giving him a goodbye kiss, but I thought I'll just follow the custom and standard practice this time.

And why would I be blogging about this everyday (not literally lah) gesture? Because this so called natural reaction for farewell had turned out uhm, pretty arrrr... shall I say uncool? Yes, me. Uncool. Humph!

First of all, it's really very difficult to give you a big warm hug when you (we) were holding too much things with your (our) hands. So it was hugging with one arm, and while hugging each other you hug the bags, and laptops and shopping bags. Haha... And could you just pause a while so that I don't have to "inform" you that now was the time for that goodbye hug? Humph...

And since you also didn't pause after the hug, all I could do was air kiss (literally kissing the air). No, of course I didn't kiss the air lah. Just forget about the goodbye kiss.

So just before we really, really part with each other, and you open your arms, I was rather surprise and didn't response to that in time. I need to switch to the ever ready mode of hugging you perhaps. You must have seen my sort of surprise look and decided not to hug me again? And very uncool-ly (unromantic-ly) I had to ask "do you... want a goodbye kiss?".

Geezz... how can anyone even ask such question??? So uncool! But thank goodness. I didn't embarrass myself because he said yes. Phew... okay, Muuuuahhh! One kiss, planted on his cheek. MFG style.

Have a safe journey honey. See you when you come back. Don't forget my presents.
