bangsar-babe writes: “Do you think dating me makes you gain weight?” I said to rif cheekily. “It does! Your food adventures make me fat.” he chuckled.This conversation came up when we were stuck in a jam, on the way to town. My random question stemmed from a recent encounter with a couple.

bangsar-babe writes: Buka Puasa Buffet Thai-style at Rama V. There’s nothing I don’t like about the sentence. I like buffets and I love Thai food.
