梅秀姐

Was dreaming bout reading books in a shop... smth like Popular... then suddenly saw old comics... those comics in the 20s or 30s kind!! New, but old... erm got wat Marpig means?

Really love them!! Read them since Marpig can tok cos 阿妈 has got alot... and the drawings and stories were sooooooooooooooo perfect!! Those drawings were drawn with 毛笔 one umk!!

Especially remembered the comic titled 梅秀姐... think therez 2 books... one 上 and one 下 or just one... tt Marpig cant rem... the story goes where the protagonist was a 丫鬟 in a rich manz mansion then she was really pretty and gd and had a tough life but had a 青梅竹马 fren who was also an honest and hardworking chap. Then, don noe wat happened, the lao ti kor 老爷 tries to u-noe-wat with 梅秀姐 and then the chap came to her rescue but don noe wat happened, he was framed and killed by the 老爷. Subsequently, anyone who 欺负 her would be taught a lesson and then supernatural/weird things happen with 梅秀姐 around. At 1st 梅秀姐 thought the mansion got ghost but then later realised itz tt chap who want to protect her. And pple also came to think tt she is a jinx.

Anyway, 梅秀姐z life is tougher and she even got/almost got raped (cant rem but Marpig think shez raped) cos then she wanted to hang herself and suddenly tt chap (with hideous disfigured face) apparited in front of her and asked her why she 12 end her life... then she told him everyth and then the ghost (of the chap) hang the 老爷 before hanging 梅秀姐 and be with her 4ever and ever.

Marpig really love the comic and another... cant rem but itz really nice too!! kept reading and reading and reading but when Marpig is much older realised Marpigz mom actually threw them away!!!!!!!!!!! Was really very sad and heartache... tried finding them or buying old comics from garung guni but didnt find much...

Instead, bought a 50 cent Jules Vernes "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and became so fascinated and fell in love with shopping and looking at junks at the garung gunis... :D

Then abit of luck came when Marpig and dad and mom was gai gai-ing in Clarke Quay... b4 it was transformed into 100% pubs... there was an antique shop near a old style barber shop... (think some of u might have abit of recollection) so went in, trying to find... and found some!! but no stories are nicer... but just bought lor... cos... just love the oldness and pictures and the strokes... :D a few dollars i think... cant rem...

ok, now coming to the ultimate and main th bout this bloggie...

Marpigz mom always used 梅秀姐 to scare Marpig when Marpigz young when Marpig was naughty or lazy... she will say smth like "梅秀姐 will come and find u"....

hahahahha can all of u imagine how scared Marpig can be?! Maybe ttz one of the reason why Marpig love the story... cos itz romantic and everyth plus reminds Marpig of Marpigz mom...

Marpig is really timid... used to sleep on one side of the bed with the back pressing against the mattress of Marpigz godmother (Marpig sleeps on floor when young and no wooden beds, only stacks of mattresses) Then, godmother said if Marpig sleeps like tt, ghouls will sleep with Marpig!! (WHY do adults like to scare children?!?!?) So, Marpig adopted the "大" 字形 sleeping style!!

Now, when Marpig has grown up, Marpig no longer use the "大" 字形... instead, Marpigz bed is a super single with 2 bolsters and 2 pillows... one pillow and bolster for sleeping on and hugging while the extras... well... to fill the empty spaces on the bed... :P of cos, all Marpigz piggies sleep with Marpig :D
