WET MARKET, ANYONE?

This morning, I had a bonding session with my dad. And of all places, we bonded at the MARKET! Not just any market, it was the WET MARKET. Went out breakfast with him(My pork noodle was horrible, it was tasteless) and then off we were to the market. He had a list of things to buy. Mom gave the long list to him. Mom was not able to tag along coz my mom had to babysit my two nieces back at home. It was a surprise to me as Dad knew his way very well in the market, where to go, where to get the cheapest price for anything that he wanted to buy. I was impressed. I mean naturally, guys usually take what they want and just pay. Price negotiation was not their priority list, they just need to accomplish the mission assigned to them - get the things they/we wanted, pay and just GO.

Experiencing for the first time in the wet market, I can't bear the smell and the people crowding the place! It was like a war out there. Everyone shouting, bargaining and some stall owners even did promotion for their food/products they are selling. And then, a thought came to me. Will I be ready for all these? Being a housewife and etc...NO..OOO! Not now, I'm still not ready for these. Its unbearable!

Well, I do some grocery shopping but it has to be in air-cond places. I mean, its more convenient to do so, I walk and look at the products at my leisure pace and oh yes, I knew I can't bargain the prices, but look at me, do I look like I'm ready for a long negotiation/bargaining for let say half a chicken or a bundle of "siew bak choy"? Seriously NOT! And I don't usually buy groceries alone and it has to be in the mall so my hubby can tag along as well, usually we do it in the weekends when he's free. Why? So he ends up paying for it. I'm not manipulating him but just giving him the privilege to bless me..Haha! The beauty of being a wife. So extra money for me to go shopping!Woo...hoo....
