Of Busy Saturdays….

Posted by Nick Tay

Had allot to do last Saturday. Tons. Started by going to the Wet market in SS2 really early in order to cook curry chicken for a party Sara and I were attending later that day. Now, I usually do my grocery shopping at Supermarkets, but decided to try the wet market as Sara said it was cheaper. We parked our car at SS2, and then started to walk around, the first thing that caught our eyes were some huge prawns, that were selling at 32 per Kt. We were really interested till somebody in the stall right next to us called us about his prawns. They were cheaper, about 22 per kt. As Sara and I were discussing which to buy, he went on a speech on how his prawns where from Kuala Selangor and they were the best, unlike the stall next to him, which is from some unknown place. He went on and on, till Sara and I were convinced, so Sara asked for 1 Kt. Now, I thought it was suppose to be 1 Kilogram, and when I saw he was only putting 600grams into the plastic bag, I alerted Sara. And she told me that the price is by Kt (Kati), which is an old way of measuring. Learned something new.

We continued to buy other things like Vegetables, Potatoes, Curry powder and of course Chicken. It was quite an experience for me. Have not shopped in a Wet market for ages. We then had breakfast there and proceeded to head home to cook curry.

After about and hour of chopping, frying and other cooking related verbs, we headed out to the dentist. I had my teeth polished and cleaned as well as having a filling filled. The dentist says i need to get my wisdom tooth extracted. Argh. Have to arange for that soon.

Then it was to Pavilion, where I had a gym session. One hour of working out really made me extremely tired and not very flexible at all. Sigh. Then we had lunch at KFC, and did some shopping there. Then we picked up Sara’s cousin Grace and headed off to Young Adult service in GT.

After service it was party time. We drove back to get the Chicken curry and then onwards to the party, where we ate tons of amazingly good food. Yum. Then we sent back Sara’s cousin and headed to 1 Utama for our midnight movie, the Dark Night.

We were soo tired, and Sara actually fell asleep for about 1 hour. I tried to wake her up, but she insisted that she was too tired and needed some shut eye. Hehe. All in all 1 learned a few important things.

1) I am too old for mid-night movie

2) A kt is 600 grams

3) Wet markets are cheaper than Supermarkets

4) Don’t mess with Kuala Selangor Prawns

On this day in History..
