Ok... last Saturday, Kris didn't go to work just so that we could get groceries done in the morning as we're supposed to go to the silaturrahim gathering at one of my aunt's house nearby, with Aunty Jan & BakNor. I was actually looking forward to it as Aunty Zainab & Uncle Ozzy are great cooks!! Supposed to have a Hari Raya BBQ lunch... but Tash was very sick & Aunty Jan decided to skip the lunch. And we didn't go to. So, Kris wasted 4.5hrs of weekend salary & I didn't get to have any asian & traditional hari raya spread!! ~sigh~ but it's ok...We had told Rubie we were gonna make it to their Open House afterwards, so I still have some chance in getting some traditional raya spread... but errrr... there's no lodeh & lontong, nor any of those typical raya food... was quite disappointed... but Kak Tina & Kak Tini were both there & they've invited us to their place the next day for Open House... but Kris didn't wanna go, so I was completely disappointed on Sunday!!
Plus, Les & Greg drove all the way from Meckering to celebrate Greg's 33rd birthday & invited us to Nero's. I wouldn't go to Nero's again... I had seafood marinara spag & my oh my they were swimming in grease!! So, we promised Les & Greg we'll take them to the cafe at Mount Lawley for lunch another day, seeing that they both love spags & this particularly cafe has ambience, and the food is affordable, less greasy, fresh & comes in a HUGE serving!! Plus they've got cafe-style desserts & authentic coffees!! Sorry, I can't remember the name of this place, but we know where it is & how to get there... Then again, talking about Mount Lawley, they have a lot of fabulous cafes & restaurants there!!
Anyway, after lunch, I dragged Kris to take the 2 guys to Wanneroo Markets just to check out where they get their really cheap groceries from everytime they make it to Perth. I had to do that cos Kris doesn't like to spend time scouring around in unfamiliar territories, especially markets that have lotsa intricate goodies that I'll end up buying & cluttering the house with. Anyhoos, Les did something that I never expected him to do!! He pinched 2 leaves & almost got caught!! I mean, the owner actually ran after us even when we were in the carpark, but Les managed to convince the owner he had done nothing wrong, even after he was searched. Later on, Kris told me that I had somewhat played a part in getting Les to do that in the first place. It was my curiosity that had set Les to 'show off' by doing what he did!! I was shaken by that yesterday after the guys left... and I'm still quite shaken up right now, to tell you honestly!
I've not seen adults show off to a girl just becos she was curious about something... or actually got himself all cut up even more everytime she squeals out of knowing how painful it was for him to get pricked by agaves, or screamed for him to stop pulling out a poisonous spider from inside a car by his bare hands & the more she screamed, the more he did it!! I mean, showing off are for jerks & little kids... and Les was neither!! ~sigh~
So, I dunno how I'm going to react the next time he's here... The guys are coming over in a couple of weeks... I guess I've got 2 whole weeks to calm my nerves & decide what to do by then.
