A story about Fishball Noodles....
A couple met over a bowl of fishball noodles. How? He was always ordering from the same stall, sitting at the same corner and have his fishball noodles alone. Across the table at the other end, sat a ger, also ordered fishball noodles from the same stall, sitting at the same place to eat her noodles. He always notice her eating the noodles first and not touching the fishballs only until the end of her meal. He ponders, "Why does she do that?" It's a burning question he wanted to ask.
One day, at the same place, the guy saw the lady again. Instead of sitting down at his usual corner, he went over n sat in front of the ger.
Guy, "Hi."
Ger, "..."
Guy feeling a bit paiseh cos the ger ignored him but since already 'throw face' liao, he continue with the 'conversation'.
"Hi again. Erm... I always see u sitting at the same place eating fishball noodles from the same stall. So do I." Flashing his widest smile hoping she'll reponse.
"Yah."
"Erm... I happened to notice that you always leave the fishballs to the last. Why huh?"
She juz gave him a smile shrugged her shoulders.
"You dun like?"
She juz smile again.
After a few 'meetings', the ger slowly opened up n they started dating..... Their fav dating spot? The place where fishball noodles brought them tgt. As usual, they will order fishball noodles. But now, he will 'help' her to clear away her fishballs, since she doesn't like them anyway..... This went on for 3 yrs. Everytime he'll 'help' her to eat the fishballs and she juz let him have them. Eventually, they got married.
One fine day, guy finalli asked the ger again.
"Darling, why do you always order fishball noodles and you dun eat the fishballs? You can always order some other noodles ah."
Ger gave him a loving smile and said, "Baby, I never once said that I dun like fishballs. I LOVE them! Otherwise, why would I be eating it everytime?"
Guy was stunned! "Den why you always let me have them when you love it? And why do you always leave them till the end to eat?"
"Cos you love to eat them too, dun you? Though I love to eat fishballs but I love the happy look on your face even more when you eat them. I leave them till the end cos it's juz my habit. I'll leave those I love to eat for the last."
Guy was touched. He pulled his darling wife into his arms and hugged her real tight.....

You like the story? Someone told me this story, but I mod a bit ;p I love to eat fishball noodles too. I used to order it everytime when my parents bring me out to eat. It's rare that my family eat out when I was young cos my mum would cook. I dunno what to order so I will say I wanna eat fishball noodles everytime. LOL~
My affinity with fishball noodles goes a long way... I used to hav them as breakfast every Sunday morning. There's oso the incidents of 'flying' fishballs.... anyway, my post today is not juz abt fishball noodles, but also abt eating habits.
Do you notice the sequence you eat your meals? Do you eat those you like first? Or those you dun like first? Or juz mix-n-match, you dun realli care you eat what first?
If you are the type who eat those you dun like first, you belong to the type whereby you can endure hardship in order to achieve what you want in life. You have the patience to wait and go thr' the shit before embracing the sweet fruit of victory. You are generally more well organised and plan your future.
If you are the type who eat those you like first, you are generally less patient. You know how to enjoy life and have the live for the moment attitude. Whatever the future might be, you couldn't care less, as long as you are happy now. The shit you gonna get in the future is for the future to worry abt.
If you are the mix-n-match type, you are someone who is well balanced in life. You jaga your time well and you know when is the time to have fun and when to be serious. You look at things from both side and hence having the tendency to think too much, making you indecisive.
Next time when you are having a lunch/dinner date and you dunno how to break the ice, try telling them the fishball story and ask them the eating habit question :) Well, whether it's accurate anot, tat's not the point, at least, you get the ball rolling!
