Hey, thanks so much for your comments!!

Wow, we all have so many interesting experiences!!

I love the genetic osmosis stories!! Some ppl just look at one feature and try to match it up and look so clever! It's funny that ppl expect you to explain all your genetic makeups.


Ppl here and in Malaysia do come up and say that Lakshman's cute etc. and I always agree with them lol, just like any mother would.
We were in M'sia in June and had a few days in Spore, and were in the MRT(light rail transit) and an elderly couple were sitting next to me. DH was standing and L was with me in a sling. The man said he wanted to see what Lakshman looked like, so I moved his hat a little. Then this man, says 'oh, he doesnt look like you huh, he looks like your husband'. I could have slapped this man.. then my well meaning aunt says, 'he's so clever to choose his father's colouring' wtf! LOL!!!

My family's very mixed, Indians, Chinese, Malays (the 3 majority ethnic groups, it's multicultural but not as Oz) plus Caucasion (DH), Nigerian etc. But still it doesnt stop them from being insular!!!

LOL - I think tact is not in the genes of lots of Malaysians. One of my bestfriends from school, lives in Syd too. She's half Chinese, half Indian and her husband is blond w blue eyes and her 2 daugthers are absolutely gorgeous. She told me the other day, when she was back in Msia and out with her mum, who's Chinese, her mum introduced her to a friend and this later said 'Oh is that your daughter, I thought she was your maid!! (as there are Filipino women who work as domestic help there and my friend has similar colouring)!

My MIL said next time ppl ask how come Lakshman's fair and you're dark, just say 'Is that so, I never noticed that before!'

Yeah, I'm sure Lakshman grows up, his generation of kids will be all from various backgrounds it won't matter. We live in a muliticultural neighbourhood too.

I wonder if we had #2, will he/she take after me. Then we'll have our day and night, and we cannot exist without the other.. hehe.

Did you guys hear about the German couple who had twins? The father was German Caucasion and the mother was Ghanian, and they had twins, and 1 was white and the other black. How amazing is that!!!!
