Ever since my older boy went away for his studies, life has not been the same again. The most conspicuous change is the fact that I seldom cook and that my kitchen has now become another storage area for my books. How can that be possible? In my house, my books are stored in every nook and corner of the house, even in the bathrooms!
Anyway, coming back to the main point, these days, my family eat out on weekends and it is a real chore to decide where to go. After being with him for more than 32 years of my life (he survived being with me hehe), either one of us will pop the question as early as 4 p.m. in the afternoon. I am sure this scenario is quite common for many couples....
From my experience, men are usually quite 'scared' of three responses.
RESPONSE NO. 1 : WHATEVER
Man: Where shall we go for dinner?
Woman: Whatever..
Man: Shall we have steamboat?
Woman: Don't want. Eating steamboat can cause tummy upsets.
Man: Alright, let's have Indian cuisine.
Woman: Yesterday, we already had nasi kandar, have you forgotten?
Man: Hmm..... I suggest we have seafood.
Woman: Seafood is not a good idea. I might get diarrhea.
Man: Then what you suggest?
Woman : Whatever..
RESPONSE NO. 2: ANYTHING
Man: So what should we do now?
Woman: Anything.
Man: How about watching a movie? It's been a long time since we went to the cinema.
Woman: Watching movies is not a good idea and a sheer waste of time.
Man: How about bowling or exercising?
Woman: Exercising on such a hot day? You've got to be joking! Don’t you feel tired?
Man: Then we can find a café and have drink.
Woman: Drinking coffee or tea at this time of the day will affect my sleep.
Man: So, what you suggest then?
Woman: Anything!!!
RESPONSE NO. 3 : You decide
Man: Then we can just go home lo.....
Woman: You decide..
Man: Let’s take a bus. We have not had a bus ride for years.
Woman: Gosh! Buses are so dirty and crowded. Don't want!!!
Man: Ok we will take a taxi.
Woman: Not worth it la... for such a short distance.
Man: Alright, then we walk lo. Take a slow walk.
Woman: I am so hungry now and with my empty stomach how do you expect me to walk?
Men: Then what you suggest?
Women: You decide
Men: Let's have dinner first
Women: Whatever...
Men: Eat what?
Women: Anything
(Look around... if no one's here, just kill her....)
Dear reader, tell me honestly....do the above responses sound familiar????
Have a nice day!

You are describing my wife perfectly. We would eat out every night and three times every Saturday and Sunday and the conversation would be exactly as you have described.
Women!!!! Can't live without them and can't live with them but you gotta love them. :-)

romerz Dear Paula,
If not for SKY on Chulia St, me and my wife would be having these kind of conversations each weekend!
We still do when SKY unexpectedly is not open or we arrive late.
By the way, my wife does not have to veto my other choices. Her upturned nose says it all!
-
Unknown Dear Romerz,
Lovely to see your comment.
Is SKY the place that sells 'tua bak' nyonya kuih? And the place where there are lots of stalls at night? The food there is fantastic.
Amazingly, you are slim and fit!
Ah - your wife is an expressive woman :-)...who has mastered the art of non-verbal communication.
Am looking forward to reading your writings again.
Take care and thanks for sharing. Have a great week!
Cheers.
Zendra-Maria This script gets played out most Saturday nights
He: Where shall we eat out tonight?
Me: Up to you.
He: You decide.
Me: Don't want.

He: Where got?
Children: YES, YOU ALWAYS VETO US!
He: OK, Uptown or Strawberry?
Me and Children: UPTOWN!
He: OK Strawberry
Children: YESSSS!
Me: (Snigger, roll-eyes)
