Food and companions

Before i start off on my regular cerita yg tak de arah tujuan dan kebanyakannya syok sendiri and tak boleh diambik iktibar pun, i feel the need to explain myself. Ada la sorang makji ni kan tiba2 meroyan mengungkitkan kembali janji2 manis ku. But me being the typical female with a little extra on the testosterone bit(why do you think i ended up with MG kan?), blur sekejap..adakah aku menjanjikan langit dan bumi?? Meroyannya mengalahkan primadonna opera cina. Dan like most guys (although typically i'm not one), it was enough to send me into panic frenzy dan bergegas lah aku pi mencari buku2 seperti yg diarahkan yakni 'I am Kelly*ing' and 'As i was shitting' haha! OK Ma Aji, telah ku poskan melalui kapal terbang dan harap2 sampai lah barangan tersebut kurang dari sepurnama, tanpa di periksa dgn teliti oleh UK officials yg sexually deprived itu.

Anyway..today i'm going to talk about food and friends. Being the easy going person that i am (cewah, masuk tempayan sendiri boleh?), i have many friends that i go out for meals with. Of course these people dari kategori yg berbeza2. For e.g., i have 2 skinny friends who eat birdy portions..to the extent that kalu gigit sebijik karipap tu, separuhnya boleh simpan utk brunch lagi because one is just too much!..a ah..ada org tu kata dia boleh makan sedozen in one go, pas tu complaint berat badan naik all of what? 500 grams?? Try 5 stone, ambik ko! Anyway, it's probably because i'm so used to her, i tak lah terasa malu yg my appetite i humongous, 5 biji karipap tu kiranya appetiser je tu.

Then i have another one or two friends yg tembam2, but currently on a die with a t. If we go to buffet lunch, they'll take whatever they fancy tapi makan cam kelapa ditebuk tupai..sana sikit, sini sikit..and because i ni pencinta alam dan nak mengurangkan waste serta mengenangkan bebudak kat ethiopia sinun tak cukup makan, guess who la yg menjadi alam flora??

And last but not least, another set..the much older,pseudo mak datins who probably have spent their previous lives scoffing and enjoying food but now ni after berhempas pulas dibalut dan disedut, have decided that one plate can be shared between two, three or people or the more the merrier. This stresses me out. Not only this said group would dictate what dessert one should have because jgn lupa pasal nak bershare2 le tu and like to emphasise how the brownie here or the cheesecake there come in huge portion and that we should all share one plate..Boleh tak kalu tak nak share? i like to have my own portion, i nak makan and saviour every bit and at all times taknak rasa stressed out worrying that i'm eating into the other person's share?

Speaking of this, i used to go out this guy who happened to be my cousin's other cousin. When i was an undergraduate up north of England, this guy was studying in France and we did meet a few times then during holidays. At that time he was podgy (jantan tembam..but unlike some people, i don't actually mind yg tembam2 ni..hehe <--chubby chaser) but he was quite a nice fellow. Other than him being sort of related to me, i didn't take much notice, kan ke masa tu i ada boipren siamang yg comel ..
Anyway, then i got to know that he had finished his studies two years prior to me. When i got back in KL, my cousin decided to arrange for us to meet up again and my, my..he has certainly changed for the better...gone was the baby fat and he looked all trimmed and baru nampak jawline nya...and i started to think, eh comel gak budak ni ye. Did i think that because i was single again then...but what goes around comes around kan..definitely, with the new look, he gained extra confidence and sadly he was not as nice as when he was chubby and didn't pay that much attention to me as i did him when he was chubby.

Going out on a date with this guy was sheer torture...i'm sure you can guess why..he ate birdy portions!! i remember many times that i had to lapik my perut with maggi mee at the office kalu we plan to meet up for dinner because i didn't want to appear buruk makan. Once bulan puasa and he took me for buka puasa at some buffet and balik rumah i mintak nasik kat my housemates! That's why MG is my match made in heaven. In fact even with my ex-siamang, yes we indulged ourselves in food, but he seemed to be getting thinner and i seemed to be taking in the calories for two poeple.

(Food aside, i'd just like to digress here, the birdy portion guy after the transformation became quite hot looking and me being in the situation that i was then i.e. low self esteem lepas kena dump dgn siamang and pretty desperate, started to verangan about him. Kononnya i pun nak play cool lah. Ada sekali tu, he took me up to his office at the menara org minyak although he wasn't one himself. It was a Saturday, kononnya nak bawak i tengok bridge tu, then bawak ke office dia yg 60 something floor. While we were up there and nak turun balik, the lift rosak..there was no one around because it was a Saturday..jeng jeng..did i take up on the opportunity to spin my web kononnya??? Oh tidak!! I whipped out a Reader's Digest from my handbag (that's why i always carry huge hbags pasal nak muatkan reading material at all times) and i started to read and biarkan dia terkontang kanting tengok luar tingkap while we were rescued. I couldn't explain myself to this day. OK people, i'm going off now to hate myself a bit. Bella, you've said before yg aku ni baik?? Tak la..i'm just plain nerd. Ces!)
