Malaysian Wife, Australian Life

I think every woman knows that some questions are just forbidden to ask another woman. It doesn't matter if all the clues & signs are prompting you to ask it but unless you're 110% sure, you just don't! Shut up, keep quiet, keep it to yourself, ask someone else! I knew this rule! I so knew i shouldn't be asking it and even as the words were coming out of my mouth i could hear myself saying "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" But it was too late and i did it...i asked someone whom i barely knew - "So when are u due?" and whatdya know! She's not pregnant!!!! MALU MALU MALU MALU MALUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! She's Vicki's friend whom i met at a birthday gathering at Vicki's. The thing is, she's not even fat. She's just got this look of a pregnant lady, wearing kinda like a maternity top that emphasised her round tummy.

How do u guys pronounce BUFFET? Like me, boo-fay..or like Michael and the rest of them here, baff-fay? Before this, i've only heard Chandler pronouncing it "baff-fay" in FRIENDS..All of the people i know back home say it MY way, so when they laughed at me saying BOOOFAY here and made me say it again and again..i jz dunno how to pronounce it anymore! Im sure both pronunciations are acceptable, but now i can't even say BUFFET without being conscious about how to actually pronounce it...i still think our (my) pronunciation is cuter tho..hehe Anyways, that's what we jz had, seafood buffet dinner at Cronulla. We took Michael's parents out as a 'thank you' for all that they've done for us when we're starting up here. Food was pretty good, but the spread wasnt as big as what i was used to in Malaysia. Lots of prawns and oysters and fish and all, but lots of the same kind...eg. Just fresh prawns instead of selection of curry prawns & bbq'ed ...
