During the Hari Raya holidays, we drove back to Penang for a few days break. On our way home, we stopped by one of the highway rest area where there were tons of traders selling all kinds of tropical fruits, our favorite being the guava and the “jambu merah”. My conversation with hubby went like this..

Hubby : Wow..my favorite guava, look so fresh and your favorite “jambu merah”, let’s go and have a look..

Me : Yeah.. let’s go..

2 minutes later..

Hubby : How much are those? (Pointing to the “jambu merah”)

Trader : 1 kg RM12.

Me : Aiyoh.. so expensive.. (whisper to hubby).. I can buy at only RM7 per kg at pasar malam lah.. don’t buy, so expensive one..

Hubby : Aiyak.. pasar malam where got so fresh one… (to trader) bagi saya 1 kg guava, 1 kg jambu merah..

Me : ………………….

Ha… being a typical housewife, I tend to compare prices and would even hop from one place to one place just to get the cheapest price… and hubby would just buy whatever on the spot as long as he likes it.. He just can’t understand why woman will drove 5 km just to get something which is 50 sen cheaper.. Guess that’s why Men Are Martians and Women Are Venusians…
