Chocolate

The other night, I was enjoying Choki Choki while cooking.

M came and stood beside me.

I tried to ignore him as much as I can cause I know he was about to say something irritating.

M: (sambil tersengih2) you dont have enough chocolate, do you?

Ignore je akak cun. dont encourage him. So, I just took one glance at him.

M: (muka tak puas because I chose to ignore him) I guess you are done with all the chocolate bar, you have to find something chocolaty in liquid form.

Ignore akak cun Ignore. dia letih nanti dia diam la

M: (with gelak setan) I betcha one day they will come out in vaporize form so you can just inhale the chocolate gas.

AC: kalau keluaq coklat gas pun, yang hang dok susah hati sangat pasaipa?

M: said what?!!

who has the last laugh now.

pujian

M has this habit of praising my cooking in front of strangers or friends.
The other day, he had a lunch conference at Canadian Museum of Nature. One of the hors d'oeuvre was vege spring rolls.

After a bite of spring rolls, M said to the server , "my wife's is better. She's oriental, that's why she knows how to make it"

Amboi! Amboi!

and that's not the 1st time.

Of course it's flattering okay but he said that jokingly. Or on the other hand to agitate someone. and that's my friend, is L.A.M.E.

********

The good thing about living abroad with limited resources and access to the our own local herbs and spices make my oh-no-so-great Malaysian dishes become superbly delish to our Malaysian friends, guests and students who apparently in dire straits of longing for local cuisine.

Usually a long list of compliments thrown at me after dinner/lunch and they kept telling M, he is such a lucky guy to have a wife who cooks very good yada yada until M's face turned green to puke.

Me?! mestilah ahkak cun tersengih2 macam kerang busuk and that makes M's face greener and sicked to the stomach.


Until one last straw, one of our guests asked M whether he knew I was a good cook before we got married. My lovely  dear husband gave a big chuckled with no answer, and I pretty much almost sprayed my guest's face with ayaq teh.

He We just kept the guest in the dark.ahaks

After they gone, M looked at me. Trying to be so politically correct, M said

" Were you a good cook before we got married, my God, were you that 'good'  the 1st 5 years of our marriage?"

pfttt.. bengong 

 oh yes. that's pretty much his face when he ate my cooking at the early stage of our marriage. hahahah

pesan memesan

I actually have no problem buy things for people especially to my friends. Of course, I dont mind do a little extra things for them but to their friends or relatives. err mom and pop or kins, i pretty much can take it but cousins, aunts..err sori naik lori lah

I mean if you want to pesan or whatnot. Tell me what you want, I dont give crap about the model or whatever hue they have in stock. I am doing people a favor here. dont people just get it?!!

Unless they pay me a handsome money for the trips, time and energy. My service is your command.

I am getting tired

M wanna get a hobby.

I am all for it as long as it is not included me.

err.. my credit card will.

ok la tu

kacak?

I hangout with few girls. they talked about a guy who apparently looked like a famous nasyeed singer.

of course they went ooh and aahh.

As expected, they asked me whether I share the same view.

hmm..girls. I lived in LA for 4 years

Even a face like that nasyeed guy is bersepah2. let alone a guy who looks like him.

Yes I dont have house but I have home

but that doesnt mean you can perceive me as poor

Yes I dont have a job but I have living

but that doesnt mean you can perceive me as desperate

Yes I dont have highest education but I have some knowledge

but that doesnt mean you can perceive me as illiterate

Yes I dont have title but I have pride

but that doesnt mean you can perceive me as low class


I give with what I have, I become a friend with a sincere heart.
I help with what I can, and so people pay it forward.
