a fishy story

i've nothing to write actually. just the need to type away something. heh. hence, prepare for a pointless entry.

last thursday, meera and her husband ('other half' as she calls him) came to pick me up. one night meet up couldn't possibly cover the whole of 16 years. we were different, yes we've grown up, but at the same time nothing changes. and she comes with a broad yorkshire slang. haha.

i was a mixed-up chick that night. i got all the accents mixed up and sounded really weird.

'sarah, you sound really different.'

'oh yeah? maybe it's the accent. you still understand me, right?'

'yeah, i do. it's like you sound a bit american, and still you have that yorkshire sound and...'

'yeah and a little bit of malaysian, you mean.'

'yeah, maybe.'

'well, that's malaysia for you. haha.'

she treated me a nice dinner of fish and chips and a movie, year one. oh nothing could beat fish and chips in bradford. meera said the shop at the corner in front of my house, where we used to live, is still there till now. i still remember my father used to buy fish and chips, old style mind you, and we would share, a packet shared by two. there were 8 of us and since we were on a tight budget, sharing is a norm in my family. good thing is though, the portion is really huge, 2-3 pieces of fish and a generous heap of chips. sometimes, we couldn't finish them at all.

speaking of sharing, mum would divide the big cadbury chocolate bar into 6 portions. imagine us treasuring each bite of the chocolate, not wanting them to finish quickly but at the same couldn't resist the delicious temptation. haha. that's why lah kami saling menyayangi. ngehehe.

so we decided to hit bradford on a weekend sometime in this month. gosh, i can't wait for that yummy fish n chips. the right amount of salt and vinegar, crispy and crunchy batter, ohh orgasmic!

meera, she doesn't really enjoy fish except fish and chips. even that, she would push away the skin. i told her that that's what fish and chips is all about, you have to eat the skin too because then you haven't really eaten fish and chips.

'no, thank you. i eat only fish and that does not include the skin.'

as broadly as she can be. haha.
