Made Up and we are off to dinner....

OK, we made up. In case you haven't guessed, DH and I had a huge fight last Thursday, that's why we didn't quite celebrate our anniversary on Tuesday. We were still in the shits with each other. It was a horrible thing to do, to not wish each other Happy Anniversary out of spite, and we both felt awful. But I just couldn't apologise first, because he said some nasty things that hurt me very much. I knew he didn't forget about our Anniversary because when my FIL rang to wish us Happy Anniversary, he took the call very quietly and thanked him. So I had to out him yesterday. I asked him if he actually forgot? He came up with the lamest excuse that I was still in bed when he left for work, and he should have rung me and told me not to cook dinner and that we'll go out. I told him he could have just admitted that he hasn't gotten over the fight, and I would have left it alone. I hate excuses, and worse, lame ones. But anyway, we had a long talk, and we have sorted things out. I do agree that our relationship hasn't been what it used to be ever since we had kids. He felt that I was always angry, and I felt that he is never plugged in and hence I got angrier, and it just snowballs from there.

I'm happy now. I feel a HUGE load off my shoulders. See, I never buy an apology when anyone says, "If I have offended, I apologise". To me, that's not a sincere apology. That's what bullshit people say to others so they can move along and get on with things. What they actually mean is, "I am not wrong, you are. I am saying this because it is what you want to hear. If you accept this as an apology, then get moving and do what you are supposed to do, ie. get off your soapbox or get a life. If you don't, stiff shit!" Isn't that true? People who argue in forums, politics, talk-back shows, say things like that just to appease. But they don't feel that they are in the wrong. They just think the other person is an idiot! But he *knelt* and said he was sorry .... and was very emotional about it too. And I KNOW this man. He meant it. Gotta love a man who actually apologises and meant it.

OK... enough of my romantic life! LOL... So, we are going out to dinner on Saturday, with kids on tow. That's our life. 99% of the time, we have no one to look after kids. Have to take them everywhere we want to go. We went to Rasa Malaysian Cafe last year on our anniversary, with kids too. We will be doing the same this time. If you are in Melbourne, you have to try this place out in Malvern East. It's Ruey's cousin's restaurant (but this is definitely not a paid advertisement). It has some really fantastic dishes. Trust us, if Ruey and I recommend an Asian place, you've got to go and try the dishes that WE ask you to try. Don't go ordering Sweet & Sour Pork and Fried Rice like you do in all Chinese restaurants and then tell us that you've had Chinese for dinner, cos then you can do it at ANY place that has something resembling a Chinese menu. (Yes, I'm a food snob!)

TRY their Oyster Omelette, Sambal Prawns, Sotong Kecap Manis, Rasa Special Chicken, Ipoh Char Hor Fun, Char Koay Teow, Sambal Kangkong, Rojak, Roti Kosong. For dessert, try the Pulot Itam.

SO, 2 more sleeps to Rasa Malaysian Cafe! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!
