Home from Myanmar.

Hub came back from Myanmar yesterday. It was since a long time ago that he was "almost" uncontactable, ever since digital phonecalls can be made. There wasn't any roaming in that country and internet is scarce. According to him, it's one of the isolated places in the world to be controlled by the government is every possible ways.

So... the first day he departed, I can't reach him on his phone and I didn't know if he's ok, as he was taking a risk flying into the country without a visa. He searched up the internet and some says, visa is needed for entry, while some say visa on arrival is provided. He took the risk.

Needless to say, I would be worried. Whenever he's away, I'll make sure to check on him or he would automatically boe-doe (which still needs lots of training). Fortunately he managed to get hold of an internet line which charges by the minute (I suppose) and send a quick and short update to his bosses, me included. I was able to sleep soundly that night.

Few days passed, and he came home from his business trip. It was rush hour when I picked him home and eventually, he started to interrogate me like I'm one of his staff (which is normal). I took deep breathe in.... deep breathe out...., not wanting to launch into a fight, for admittedly, I felt relieved he's home safe and sound. Amazing how women can keep their temper intact when the "big aunty" not come visiting.

Surprisingly, he too, seeing my silence instead of justifying my actions, had mellowed down and we settled for a quiet and peaceful dinner. How things would have been if I had raised my voice and started the defense! I guess this is the way things work around the universe. I made a self reminder to practise this more often. Life would be much tolerable.

He bought something home for me though. Initially, he was showing some bangles with big round jades, some with different colors other than green. I was speechless looking at those stuffs, easily make me look like a granny if I have one of those things on me!

Didi asked me "not nice meh?".

I said "err... nice! but....err, not very fashionable only jek.." I think his expression tells me he thinks it's very pretty. Hmm... I might be wrong.

Apparently, he had another "surprise" for me, like it's a hugeeeee diamond behind his back he's hiding or something, with a grin that says "you'll love this one"...

Gee... I was so hopeful. Dimji.. jeng jeng jeng... it were 2 small stones of I-dont-even-know-what-its-called. Color also not like ruby. So dull and unexciting. Seriously, he looked rather disappointed, maybe that I didn't jump up instantly and give him a quickie or what! heh!

Anyway, he said he thought of giving me the blue stone while the "dull red" was meant for his mommy. Oh! I thought, not both meh? Ish!

And he said these stones are meant to be made into pendants. I said, have to surround it with diamonds only look nice worr.... and he responded "sure, make it la!". (dream la! say only, when he sees the quotation later, he sure asks me to use a string to tie it up enough liao!)

Anyways.....

Happy that he thought of me la. More importantly, he's home. As for the stone, I guess it'll be chucked into the safe for safekeeping and memories sake.

(If any of you wants, I can sell to you too, y'know? Want not? lelong, lelong...)
