General | 笔者: Twinsmom
See the century egg photo 5xmom put up? Yeah, this ugly looking, stink ammonia soaked egg is one of my favorite food.
My friend once said why I don’t like durian, if I can eat a stink egg sure I can tahan the smell of the durian and eat it.
But I can only stand the smell and taste of the century egg, not durian, not smelly tou-fu, not petai etc.
And century egg you have to eat with the vinegar preserved old ginger, without the ginger, the taste even more stink, and leave a smelly, weird taste in your mouth, even though after brushing your teeth the after taste still there.
But with the ginger the whole taste turns heaven.
MCAP turns century egg that time never mind, just need to open the fridge take out the bottle of preserved ginger and sort it out.
Both MCAP and my family have a divorced member, I don’t know how much MCAP get involved when it happen, but my side whole family turned up side down, so sometime when I heard the either party said the divorced is “only” involve them two person, I can’t help but disagree.
I don’t know how was the exactly situation when the “divorce” have to speak out from one party’s mouth. But call me conservative, call me still live in the age of women binding their feet, no matter how bad the argument and fight have turn, this is a word never speak out from either one of us, even though before we have kids.
May be I kiasu, may be I afraid of loose face in front of friends, but no matter what reason it is, we just believe there is a way to sort out the problem, there is a way to talk it out (I know, I know, my closed relative told me she have no way to communicate with her ex).
My father once said those western thinking have eat us (Asian traditional family value) alive, everything so “convenience”, treat marriage and divorce like eating fast food, and there are plenty of lawyers to help you solve the problem, no need to meet each other after fight, just get a agent go run around in between to “communicate”, there is how the modern way to “solve” the problem.
I once blog about “perfect couple”, some people think perfect couple mean no quarrel, no fight, 100% agree on everything the other half said etc, that is not perfect couple.
I am not a Christian or Catholic, but I believe in myself, my love to MCAP aka century egg sometime, with this believe every problem can be solve (by ransack the fridge for food will help, or flip the twins photo album is one of the way before talk it out).
5xmom once told me a priest in Singapore said why now a lot couple getting divorce, because they was raised in 80’, the time the economic bloom the parent shower them with everything they want, so they can’t take “no” for answer, so as in their marriage relationship.
How can I not love my century egg, so much inspiration from an egg, and help me blog so many time :P.
And a lot of time my egg will turns to become Omega3 egg enriched with DHA, very clever to help me solve problem wor.
