randomness

i got my dendeng fix last nite. it was not as good as i remembered it would be. now they sell dendeng chilli. the posters are everywhere. but every dendeng stall that i went to 'seem to have sold out.' i conclude that dendeng chilli is just an urban legend coined to make silly people like me to traipse the ENTIRE bazaar, in the sweltering heat and admist the sweaty throngs of people.

i feel cheated.

finally learnt how to make bubur gandum arab. its definitely an acquired taste as i am so used to the teochew-watery-rice porridge. but i have gotten used to the spiciness and fullness of the bubur gandum. husband's grandma was nice to tutor me eventhough she was busy and had to pack as she is leaving for jeddah this afternoon. (i think husband loves me a notch higher now that i can cook one of his favourite dishes. well, he better!)

speaking of leaving for jeddah, grandma's flight is sometime in the late afternoon. i promised to run an errand for her and will be meeting her straight at the airport. husband had instructed me not to bawl as he finds it silly that people cry when others go to haji/umrah. i reasoned with him that normally when people go to haji/umrah, most of them wouldnt mind dying there, being so close to the prophet and Allah. and u might never know if we will see them again.

he said, "you shouldnt cry. you should be happy even if they die there. its a great honour. and besides, they are going to see the prophet and Allah. whats there to cry abt? you should feel happy for them."

made sense la. but it is still sad, ok? (macam la suamiku tak faham yang isterinya ini gembeng sikit :P)

i really just dont like the way you impose things on me. you like to put me in a position where i CANNOT refuse your wants/whims. its very stiffling. i cant even say whats on my mind, if what you told me to do is bothering me.

susah la macam gini.
