Do You Know What Love Is?

No point denying the fact that a guy can love six or sixteen women at the same time. And he loves them the same as the first or the second or third. He doesn't distinguish one from the other, he loves them as good as love can get on a sunny day with blue skies and all. But this being a rainy day I reckon a guy won't be doing much loving because every woman he calls is either out of town or busy shopping for one last time before the economy goes under. The next best thing to do when this happens is to bring out the broom, the mop, the floor detergent and start doing something respectable and honorable which you may have already guessed from the equipment I've mentioned - that is to clean the house as good as a house can get to being a maternity hospital, or a nuclear plant.

Sensing that this may take at least three solid hours of a wet Sunday, I start with the fans. And then the bookshelves which need serious dusting both with a feather duster and a damp cloth. And then the floors - a good sweep with a nice broom with thick bush and a good mop soaked in a powerful floor detergent. And then the fridge and the freezer. The bathrooms.

By 3.00 pm there's no more cleaning to be done and all I can do is to sit and think what to eat now that I'm beginning to feel a little hungry. Now this is not a big problem for me because I know exactly what a man should eat in a weather like this.

Throw some keledek, daun cekor and santan. Fry a good chunk of ikan talam masin. Deep fry a piece of thick tenggiri.

By 6.00pm I'm out cycling in the rain on my new Giant XTC Three bike.

Do you know what love is? I'd say sharing this moment with someone you really care is a good start to find out what love is all about.
