I don’t get it. Why does a man have to watch practically all EPL games even if he’s just supporting one team (Liverpool FC)? I had the misfortune of being forced to watch the Man Utd vs Arsenal game last night (we have just one TV, you see, and the internet was bonkers as usual), and I think that will probably be the last time that he’ll ever ask me to watch a game.
It was already the second half when we turned on the TV after coming back from the Celine Dion concert.
“I don’t think Cristiano Ronaldo’s that cute.”
“Well, he’s the number one pin-up boy for the gay community,” he responded with a deadpan look.
Several minutes later….
“If Manchester United’s from Manchester and Liverpool’s from Liverpool, where’s Arsenal from?”
“London lah.”
Hmmmm. Why isn’t there a London FC then?
When Hargreaves took the free kick, the men in the “wall” didn’t look like they were interested in defending the goal.
“Why didn’t the men jump?” I asked.
“Hmmm.”
I could see that I was making him think for a bit. This was going to be an intellectual experience for both of us, I knew.
Minutes later, I saw the ball bounce off the referee.
“What if the ball goes out? Who gets the penalty?”
At this point, I knew that the intellectual conversation which I craved so much had ended. He got up, went downstairs, and came back with some delicious, creamy durian puffs which I had purchased earlier from Lee Lee’s Sumptuous Desserts at The Gardens Mall. With the durian puff in my mouth, there was no way I could do any more talking. Mission accomplished.

all this soccer talk…..its fenugreek to me….
If ball hits referee and it goes out, referee gives himself a green card (possible for migrating to America where there are only soccer moms).
Er, what is the yellow stuff underneath the whitish cream? (Sounds like a Kenny question, huh?) Looks like corn.
And what is the ‘wrapper’ like, soft or crispy?
(Liverpool has a few young, rough but quite nice-looking punks.)
fatboybakes: Fenugreek’s lovely and fragrant….hardly what I’d describe soccer.
argus: Yeah, and referee gets to fly Air Asia there (FYI, all them EPL referees have Air Asia patches on their arms). Yellow stuff’s durian. And the wrapper’s a crepe. Soft.
lol…I have pretty much the same experience when watching the games with my man…liverpool supporter too…
hate it when the bf stuck his big arse onto the sofa and set his eyes on the stupid game, with much concentration..he never stare at me liddat also?
and my favourite team won 🙂
hahaha…good deal for money leh..
looks so good..next time need a model for the food also lar..
haha, yeah sounds like a similar discussion except hubby tries to tutor me in the offside rule so he can say to his mates that I know it. Of course I forget it the next day!We also have hairstyle discussions for the players. 🙂 Still, nice tactic with the Durian, masterly!
i didnt know you had such lovely seductive slender fingers…..you look a lot darker in real life….
Alexandra: Hehe. Can’t wait for football season to be over. 😛
citygal: I don’t get it either. I mean, we look better than those dudes running around the field in shorts, right?
aidan: hahaha. Bald Eagle wasn’t as ecstatic, as you can imagine. 😛
joe: Ya lor. From now on, am gonna stock up on these goodies. And yeah, Paps has been well trained for hand shots.
Msiagirl: When I first learnt abt the offside rule, I was the annoying referee at home…”that’s an offside” “no it isn’t” “yes, that is” “sigh”.
fbb: now where’s the glasses which I planned to bestow upon you earlier? Read the fine print, dahlink.
hey nice blog there!!! i particularly like the color coordination of the puffs..lol. if the white is the cream, the pulp is the durian, what is the crepe?
Tell me bout it. A bunch of guys with hairy legs chasing after a rolling ball. Wat makes them so interesting btw.
wow luscious durian filling!! yummy alright …
You know which sport I find even more confusing than football? Cricket! What??!! Ya know I was burping durian puffs for the next few hours. Was trying hard not to gas anyone with my durian breath at maxis! It was yummy alright. So much cheaper than MO hor?
p.s/ Anyone looking for hand model, please email me. Will work for good food.
oh god.. I just had these the other day and it was just fab! 🙂
Finally found my way here and grabbed a box for Chris and I 😉
so, the way to a girl’s mouth is through puffs lar..ok, got it! 😉
but definitely not durian puffs for me…haha!
why do some have to try all them colourful cupcakes in the world when they all basically taste fundamentally sweet ar??? hmmm….
I promised i won’t say another word.. if i can have some.. please.. ??? pretty please..???
LOL at ktx’s first line! So like one of those left by anon spammers!!
Oooh… just look at those little pillows of durian delights. But looks like there is too little durian leh – 3/4 cream and 1/4 durian?
haha. Paprika-great nails!
that’s not the usual puffs. Thin skin and thick filling..now, that’s what i call a good bite!
hmm… good idea ~
so next time if u happen to accompany him to watch another football match, how many boxes of these cuties does he have to stock up ? ^O^
kat, thats waht i said too…looks like too much cream.
kekeke *giggling again at fbb’s latest comment*
LL, i really think you need to get him a proper reading glasses :p
They are almost like durians! Just that they are all uniform in shape and size 🙂
Feeling heaven just by looking at these…in heaven if I touch those…
Ahhh marvellous football season! The fanatic with me watches it outside. Early games will translate into promises of packed satays, BBQ chick wings and all those supper snacks to keep me in.
so do you think if I bought those durian puffs, I could have the TV all to myself on football nights too ? We got one TV also… hahaha…..
so what sports are you actually interested in?
gymnastics? aquatics?
While I like watching footie, too, let’s begin a fan club for:
synchronised piping of cream on cupcakes
acrobatic rolling of inside-out sushi
Any other sports, LL?
It looks like football became the worst nemesis for the ladies here…
Luckily I’m not in to football 😛
Can I be another model too? The lips part maybe? 😀
Haha…i wonder now who is more intellectual….my serai sista or her botak eagle hubby. 😉
it do gets annoying when the concentration goes too much to the game..however..durian puff saves the day..haha
why oh why didnt i read this earlier? i was at Garden’s yesterday..i could have oh-so popped one of these durian babies into my mouth..*sobs*
If referee hit the balls and the ball went out, I think they will toss the coin to see how gets the ball.
I sampled it when I was there two weeks ago. Real yummy. Too bad I’m on a tight budget, if not I’ve already bought half a dozen.
hehe…was that your grand plan Meena? 🙂 I’m not sure I can share your enthusiasm when it comes to the durian puffs as during is not one of my favourite tastes…but at least I’m not as bad as Olav. He claims that the chocolate/durian dessert we had at Stan’s is one of the worst desserts ever 🙂
my goodness, u had me eating my screen. ppl who post life-sized food pics are sadists!
walio! I definetly will jilat my jari!
Hey, Congrats on making it into the May issue of Bon Appetit! The article made me very homesick(and hungry!).
Not sure if u are aware but the article identified u by name. Btw, no need to publish this..it’s fyi only.
Congrats again!
WAH, catapaulted into more fame…..sigh, mere mortals like us can only live vicariously off the glow and radiance of your shining star…[putting sunblock SPF2002]
V strongly believe this international ( esp England / European ) football leagues in wherever whatever form is a circus ala WWF ( being players ourselves ). We remember too the terrible last World Cup. And so we feel sorry. Lucky on the off-side got real lee lee tho.
do u know whr to get durian puffs without the cream? as a durian lover, i prefer it not to be tainted with cream…
The durian puffs look nice. I’ll be sure to try it out when I go.
In regards to the soccer (or should I say football) questions – I don’t think there’s a London FC because there’s lots of suburbs/neighbourhoods in London. Or they relocated to another area in England.
Also some of the clubs have a very long and extended history. In the case of Arsenal, Arsenal doesn’t come from a place called Arsenal but the team was formed by workers from Royal Arsenal… who made, well, arsenal. 😉
Hi there, I would like to ask for your permission to use your durian puffs pictures in my blog. Please let me know if you wanted it to be removed and I shall do that promptly.
Thanks!
hi i’ve tried this too and its awesomely yummy 🙂 as well as for vintry
caring and smart hubby….. haha….
