twisted

I was busy surfing the net at home, about a good 20 feet away from Emily, who’s working on something with her notebook at the coffee table.

Emily : “Dear…”

Me : “hmm?”

Emily : “Can you bring me that mousepad?”

How I wished that I can answer her “No”. But everyone on this planet knows, I can’t. Why? 3 reasons.

1) She’s my wife.
2) I love her.
3) She’s pregnant.

That’s a triple kill for whatever faux inconveniences/excuses I can come up with. Even if I’m suffering a temporary paralysis, I’ll have to think of a way to bring that mousepad to her. (Just in case you don’t know - 20 feet is equivalent to 20 million miles to any bloke in a couch-potato mood at home)

Me : [walks over with the mousepad] “Why don’t you just keep this mousepad under the coffee table? That way, I don’t have to painstakingly bring you the mousepad everytime you need it.”

Emily : [giggles] “I just love asking you to bring me that mousepad. Let’s keep it that way”

I have a strange feeling that it isn’t all about the mousepad. It’s about the twisted ways of a particular odd behaviour. I’ve got 2 months to go before the madness ends…

So, people, if you’re not ready to scale the distance to the moon by foot, don’t get married.

    Heh, I know what you mean - pregnant women have this ‘mengidam’ thingy which makes them want things endlessly. Heh.

    Michael… you have seen my situation… in the house i am the maid or ah sei…

    Florence : Ah Sei…. yak yak yak

    Florence : Ah Sei…. yak yak yak
    Me : yes, ma’am

    etc…

    It’s just a way to say that she cares about you and wants your attention. Whenever we are working on something, they will try to disturb us once in a while to ensure that we are paying some kind of attention to them.

    That’s women, and that’s who they are. :P

    I guess ” asking for mousepad” is an understatement.

    No craving for food from some la la land at 2am?

    ok wht… still within ur limit…

    imagine…
    at 12 midnight…

    emily : “dear, baby want to eat malacca’s satay celup lah. Can you get it for me now?”

    or

    emily : “dear, baby want to eat hokkien mee lah… now got ah?”

    or

    emily : “dear, baby want to eat ipoh’s pomelo lah, can ah?”

    tht is disaster…. ahhahaha
    because we cannot say no to pregnant woman’s request for food mah…..

    michael - dude, get an ovulation kit. Ask your wifey to use it to determine the ovulation period. Once determined, plow it up like rabbits everyday. Good luck dude!

    just drop by to say you are a loving husband and without doubt, will be a great father! discovered your blog some time in march this year through a friend…mind you, it is far more reaching than you’ve ever expected…hehehe…everyone has an evil side…it is understandable. =))
    but for those who know you personally, i hope they’ll take it more openly. honestly, are you not at all worried that things you wrote will affect your friendship with those mentioned in your blog? just curious…=))

    noname - Nah, sometimes we offend people just by being ourselves. There’s nothing I can do about it. So, why worry? Cheers.

    “Just in case you don’t know - 20 feet is equivalent to 20 million miles to any bloke in a couch-potato mood at home”

    That is very kind of you to add “to any bloke in a couch-potato mood at home.” In some entries you wont bother to add that ie: “aerodynamic is a type of bird, etc” Why the sudden change? :-D

    She’s stringing you like a marionette… :P

    i normally pride myself on being an independent woman (girl power blah blah) but i’m discovering that yeah, it’s kinda fun to have someone who’s willing to do small things for you…partly to relish the feeling of power, but also partly because you know they care & want you to be happy.

    perhaps you’re right…being ourselves, it is inevitable to offend people sometimes..so..why care?? haha…i wish i had that mentality of yours sometimes…but i’m just a coward. :PP

    snow|e - Thanks for reminding me. That’s very kind of you… (isk isk)

    100 - Why the sudden change? Because of global warming. The polar bears are dying. The birds are rebelling. The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change - listen to the afro girl…

    jase - Every-fucking-night. Gosh…

    megabigblur - Yeah right, it’s all because you think we care… *roll eyes*

    noname - Well, how about getting yourself a name for a start? You can be like me…

    2 months does NOT signal the end. 2 months signal the arrival of a variable exponent ‘x’ to the variable ’s’; where ‘x’ = ‘years’ and ’s’ = ’suffering’.

    Speaking about birth.. the media is pretty hot right now about Tom Cruise’s baby. He’s a famous scientologist believer, and they believe in the concept of “silent birth”. It is said that these yellings and wailings and words from nurses like “push !! push harder !!” and moanings like “aAAAAaaaaaaaaa !! AAaaaaughh !! Shittttt !!!”will be negative influence to the baby’s growth. So during the birth all the mother must completely shut the fuck up and not give out a single moan of pain. U wanna try ?? Ahahha.


  • April 26th, 2006, 12:44 pm | #

    tom cruise is a fucking retard (quite evidently, you can see that when he jumped on Oprah’s sofa). This ’silent birth’ concept is nothing but a bunch of bullcrap.
