How Your Breakfast Evolved in Marriage

haha. does your breakfast change after years of marriage?

during the first year of marriage, you serve your beloved husband home-cooked nasi lemak on your expensive china plate laced with banana leaf to give it a nice aroma. there’s ayam masak merah, there’s sambal sotong, sambal kerang, sambal ikan bilis and even sayur kangkung. the sambals, boiled egg and cucumber are artfully arranged around the rice to create the illusion of eating at a fancy fine-dining restaurant. you even cut the cucumbers in heart shape.

fast-forward 20 years later, your husband takes his own plate from the cupboard, and had to scoop up his own nasi lemak from the rusty rice-cooker. the burnt sambal is still in the pot, the boiled egg is still in its shell, and you forgot to buy the cucumber!

ye ke? hihi.

ATT00007.

 

haha. just for laughs, ladies.

may your marriage is always blissfully served on a cute plate of nicely brown toasted bread, with a heart-shaped sunny side up egg. and a pretty flower on the side. made with love.

happy anniversary to those celebrating their 1st, 5th, 10th or 25th year of marriage. cheers.

wah syigim, kalau mcm ni parah la my marriage..even baru into our 6th years of marriage, btw our anniversary is next month (6 yrs! hehe) he has always senduk sendiri nasi coz bila i do it, dia kata byk sgt hehe..& due to my 'malas/tak pandai masak' status, i can't rate my marriage like the progression of toast in your lovely blog :D

FN said...

haha.. OK I have to admit after few days of marriage, I have to asked my mother in law how to prepare my hubby's breakfast. *blush* sbb for almost 29 years his mother been doing it, tetibe I yg buat.. haa amek mmg lain sgt hehe. and yes, your post made me laugh and couldn't imagine if after 25 years ;)

dah lama kawin tak sempat nak buat hidangan2 kreatif..anak berderet2 minta perhatian..haha..

Syigim said...

>> liz, when my husband read this post, dia ckp dia x kisah pun senduk sendiri. selalunya bila kak lambat sgt nk mandi dulu lah, nk kemas2 dulu lah. so dia malas tunggu n ambik sendiri ;)

>> amirah, :D

Syigim said...

>> fairus, the roti hangit tu dah pun jadi! hahahaha...but not on purpose ya! :P cooked with love pun, "accidents" do happen! :P

>> cik lily, i mmg weird but cute ok haha

Syigim said...

>> kaklina, bagus la ketawa buang stress weekend ni ;)

>> haha anis, my husband pun ade jgk time kena ceduk sendiri when i'm swamped with the kids n dia malas n tunggu. well, it's the thought that counts! :)

happy anniversary in advance! celebrate the love that you HAVE, and don't dwell on the 'what ifs' okay! :)

Syigim said...

>> fara, bagus effort u tanya mak mertua about ur husband's bfast, but dah bila dah kawin, suami kenalah tolak ansur selera dgn masakan isteri kan? :) i'm sure the way u make bfast, walaupun beza dgn his mom, is still very special :)

>> nadiah, haha. betul jgk! masa tu lah husband kena verrrrry understanding! biar mcm husband nadiah la, dia yg sibuk kat dapur buat bfast utk isteri kan? ;)

HaLiMaTuN SaAdIaH said...

Heehe... Tapi kita dari awal kawin pon mmg hubby senduk sendiri terus..katanya, sebab kita dah penat masak, apa salahnya dia senduk nasi... Anyway, I got the message.

Syigim said...

halimatun, kalau suami bole tolak ansur & understanding, apa salahnya kan? :) yang penting, sama-sama bahagia :)
