anything? whatever...

When we go out for a bite, with all variety of food available out there..we can be spoilt for choice... and sometimes when you're really hungry but you really have no idea what to eat and your partner is feeling about the same, the discussion on where & what to eat can lead to an all out war if one's not careful...

Picture this, we're at the counter trying to order some food or perhaps with a wait-person taking down our order..we'll look at the menu, flip it to the last page & back to the front, stomachs thundering, look at each other, look at the menu again & finally I ask, "so what are you gonna eat, hubbi?" Hubbi shrugs his shoulder, look at his menu & say "aah you decide laah...anything also can..." Grrr..then I go, "they don't sell anything.." then Hubbi turns the table around and ask me "ok so what do you wanna eat?" & i'll be like "watever.." Hubbi goes "and what makes you think they sell whatever?" It's kinda funny typing this up but in the heat of the ravenous moment, the phrase a hungry man is an angry man is an understatement of the century...pfftt...

but hey, waydeminit...what's this??

hah...they do sell Anything and Whatever now...

Close call

I had been putting off writing about our trip to PK & KL for abt 2 wks now... & just when tonight I thot it's now or never, i'm afraid the idea might not even see the light of day (pun intende here) Why? Well, something happened today that took my mind up totally... (i count my lucky stars folks that IT was only my mind .. )

MIL & I went out today.. since her legs are not giving her much problem, it was a good day to be out & about town... I sent her back at around 6pm & after 'Asr prayers I quickly head home. You know the escalator heading up towards Causeway pt/MRT station from Woodlands Interchange, how high it was..? & If you don't, well.. it was about 2x the usual mrt escalator height...pret-ty steep there... a guy was standing 2 steps up from in front of me & there was a nother guy infront of him we were all following escalator riding regulations by standing on the left hand-side.. about 3/4 up, the 1st guy suddenly dropped onto the guy in front of me & in a split second both of them were pushed on top of me. I only had 1 hand on the railing and the other was holding a plastic bag filled with my favourite things (3 thick library books & food). I yelped, bent my knees and lowered half of my body (all those boring facts abt the laws of the gravity came into play here, guys..) the other half of my body were flailed to the back..All praises to Allah, before we reached the top, the guy in front of me managed to stabilize himself and the guy who just dropped onto him like a sack of potatoes...(I think he blacked out for i noticed him rubbing his head) both of them apologized and i was just too shocked so i just mumbled something i wasn't even sure what... I looked down and some other people below us were also rubbing their chest relieved perhaps it didn't turn out to be a stampede or perhaps in this case, a rolling-pede?

Guys, seriously...before this i used to not care abt the public announcement ..you know the ones...where u're supposed to take the lift if you're feeling unwell or carrying loads of stuff? So, before we "aw,shucks-no-it-won't-happen-to-me" , think..what if there are kids behind? pregnant ladies? the elderlies? what kind of a tra-domino-gic effect we could start...When I looked down the escalator, the notion that we could have rolled down & knocked people down like bowling pins, literally shook my knees..i had to sit down for a while...& what if bits of my clothes were stuck in between the gaps there...urgghh.. while recounting the incident to hubbi, my over-active imagination is working overtime (oh so not helping) that I cried and cried... Hubbi held me and kept saying sorry but i knew it wasn't his fault...it's no one's fault.. it just show how things we took for granted can turn ugly in a split second.. so guys, be careful okay... & please, stay behind the yellow line..!
