On weekends, my husband loves taking us up to Genting Highlands.We would do barbeque and visit my purple orchid nursery. Genting Highlands is a resort city famous for its casino, theme parks and cood weather.
Ok folks I was just exaggerating about the nursery, its not mine.... it is not even a nursery.In fact I was exaggerating about the whole place. They are just wild grown but lovely purple orchids growing all over the slopes and to complete the picture a small waterfall flows nearby. It was just a place we discovered a month ago. We forgot that it was a long weekend and got stuck in traffic up in Genting. Mohammad was turning the car back to Kuala Lumpur.He decided to take a drive on a road less travelled, I am sure this place was left of the grid of google earth. Anyway ever since that day every time we go up to Genting, he would take us on a detour for the fresh air and the breathtaking view.
So, last night I asked him our plans for Saturday.
"We can go to Genting? (raised eyebrow) take the kids to the theme park and (slowly and hesitantly)...eeerr see your beautiful garden?"
"Why do u give me that look? like you don't want to go...?" I asked starting to get defensive.
He looked like he had better watch what he says, I told him I am not the one so gung ho over that little detour...just to see wild orchids. Suddenly, hubby had that You-Should-Have-Told -Me-Earlier look.
"You were so happy that first time we went there "Oh this is so lovely, you have to take us next week"(mimicking me), so I thought you wanted us to come up here.For the orchids"
"What?!....sure they (the orchids) are lovely... from a far, but I don't want to get bitten by bugs and giant ants!" silently asking What were you thinking?...
He answered my silent question "You looked so happy that day so I thought if it makes you happy, I don't mind...."
OH!...That is something I am grateful...
if there's a like button like on fb, i would have clicked it a thousand times :D
ReplyDeleteThank you diamond baby.This is really encouraging.anyway, would you believe it...on Sunday we made that trip to my orchid field after our short trip to Hutan Lipur Konifer.The orchids were everywhere all along the slopes and flat lands...and when we reach nearby the police check point at the bottom of Genting, i found out that there is a nursery dedicated for orchids, there was a name for it too.
