My Love, My In-Lieu

Saturday, 6th August 2005

What happens when the wife is not local enough to attend a gathering the couple were cordially invited to?

The husband, who is local at this time on a layover, represents his absent wife as he inadvertently presents himself, unwittingly lured to the gathering with the promise of a talk-cock kopi session with the dudes and lots of food which normally spells out some kopitiam somewhere for him. So when he agreed to Mr Malik picking him up to go hang out somewhere, he did not know he had just agreed to attend a gathering of my friends without me around, the glue that holds him and them together. When he called me to tell me what he was up to, I told him he might be headed to the gathering I was telling him about and was supposed to attend should I have made it to Singapore. He gave a tiny shriek of horror and exclaimed he can't possibly attend it without me but I told him it would be okay. I knew he didn't believe me. I could tell he was about to panic but he can't back out because Malik was already on the way to pick him up. Heh.

Now, my love is probably in Malik's Grandis, on their way to Hillview where he will get to meet the major sweetlings and their significant others.

Enjoy yourself, my love.

Remember, whatever you are served with, no more than two helpings eh?! Then again, you can eat my share also lah. Which should be one teeny, tiny, low-carb portion only. Or so I kid myself.

All the more now I want pictures of this gathering!My honey's face will be floating somewhere in the happy shots!

Chop!Chop! Yallah, habibti wa habibi!
