The Other Half said to me, "we are so prehistoric! we are the only people on earth without a NAVMAN probably because you won't let me buy one." Then I said to him, "why do you need one?" Then he said, "see, you won't let me buy it." Then I said, "Where do you want to go with it? And I'm a bl***y good navigator anyway, I haven't got us lost anywhere so far!" Then he said, "Oh yeah, you are right, you are an excellent navigator, that's why we don't need to buy one, hahahaha....." Man!!!! D'oh!!!!


But it is true, I've heard a lot of people complained about how their wives/partners can't read maps/street maps at all and since their wives/partners can't read maps so they think all females can't read maps. I really take offence at that! I think I'm quite good at it and I've been the navigator on a lot of long journeys. And The Other Half is very happy for me to be his navigator because he knows that he can rely on me not to get lost :-). I admit I don't have photographic memory of the map unlike The Other Half and I can't read maps upside down unlike The Other Half but who needs that right, hehehe....


Cuma bila I read the streetmaps I kena make sure yang the map is the right way as the way we are going. Or else I'll get my right and left and north and south confused a bit. So, bila I read maps, I akan pusing2kan the map book so it's aligned with the direction of the car :-). Pelik ke my quirk ni? Or ramai jugak yang macam I? And kalau nak pergi mana2 for the first time, I kena tengok maps tu banyak2 kali before I can commit it to memory. That's why I don't like being the navigator and the driver at the same time sebab I can't look at the map book while I'm driving, hehehehe. It's one or the other, tak boleh dua2 ;-).


To our dinner tonite....

The Other Half's been asking for pizza since last week so I had to make pizza tonite. Seafood pizza (as usual) for him and poloni pizza for the Little Misses. I tried buat cheesy crust but tak jadi sangat lah sebab the lipatan crust tu ternganga pulaknya lepas masuk oven. Oh well, next time can try again kan :-).

Untuk I pulak nya, dinner melayu, mee goreng seafood. I ni kan pelik betul lah, tak boleh nampak orang makan noodles, terus teringin nak makan. Dari hari Khamis lepas lagi i dah teringin nak makan noodles ni sejak nampak ada orang ni makan noodles kat food court bu baru hari ni sempat beli bahan2 nya. So, even though I had to make pizzas for everyone else, sanggup jugak tu I masak mee goreng for myself sebab dah teringin, hehehehe.....


Padahal kan, if you look at the photos, the pizzas nampak lagi lah sedapnya kan bandingkan dengan mee goreng tu but I sikit pun tak teringin nak makan pizza tadi. Sikit pun I tak rasa unlike The Other Half who had a bite of my mee goreng after he's finished eating his pizza!

LG; i pun just have my own version of mee goreng for breakfast half an hour ago.

i think i should try doing pizza at my own.. ur seafood pizza tu sound yummy n since u r the pizza expertise..what is the most simplest way to prepare the dough for the pizza sbb i rasa mcm "susah" je nak buatnye.Ke sebab i x pernah try buat.

Suzie,
Kat sini we all mmng rely habis dgn our street directory sbb tak bnyk perubahan. Klu kat M'sia tu agaknya setiap 6 bulan kena beli map book baru kan, hehehe...

lemongrass said...

Izuan,
Sbb ada navigators yg excellent mcm kita ni so tu yg tak perlu beli sat nav,hehehe...Klu dpt navigator yg hampeh, I rasa kena beli jugak lah kan, wahahaha... Stuffed crust I tu tak jadi sbb I just letak around the edges and then rolled a bit of the dough on top of the cheese, tapi terbukak lah :-(.

Dila,
Memang,my hubby pun kdg2 kalau pergi kedai yg I suka, asik 'lupa' aje direction, hmmm.....Tu gy I suka pergi sendiri, hehehehe...
