NO PORK!! NO PORK!! i said NO PORK!!

g'dayyy mate,

waddup fellow kwfc and readers...greetings from adelaide! hope yall are doing fine and healthy. especially those Melbourne ppl (you should know why i would say that)

anyways regarding my blog post title, its a little dilemma that i'm currently going through now.

before i go into what the dilemma is, just a little background story for your info. i got a place to stay. its just right at the back of my Uni and its a nice place to stay in. its a 2 rooms apartment. and my other house mate is a M.A.L.A.Y dude (something to take note at) from Malaysia and also a taman tun kiaa. he stays in Kajai. and he is those kinda 'modern' malay as he drinks alcohol and all. but the only thing is that he doesnt eat Pork. which is fine with me cos obviously i know and respect their views on eating pork.

so we went groceries shopping 3 days back. while getting the stuffs, i was looking at luncheon meat. so i asked him la if it was ok for me to cook pork at home. and he replied "sure NO PROBLEM just as long as i use different frying pan and utensils and plate." so okla cool as he has no problem with it, i bought quite a few tins of luncheon meat and pork stew. haha. and oh btw, i also have to store those tins in a separate drawer from the other foods. haha.

ok...so here comes the dilemma. yesterday afternoon he smsed me saying this.

"Dude. there's something i wanna tell u. not to make u to feel offended or anything but i dont think i'll be comfortable if u cook pork in the hse. i experienced it at my fren's place last niite when she was cooking pork at home. and i got really dizzy with the smell. plus i hope u can respect me as a muslim cos something regarding to it is a biggest sin. i know u already bought the stocks but for that 1 maybe u can bring it to your fren;s hse and cook it. sorry man"

so yeaa...just managed to talk to him bout it regarding this matter. i said that i respect his decision and views on the whole pork thing and i will definitely not cook pork in front of him. then i asked him whether it was ok if i cook it when he isnt home. he was quite hesitant and reluctant to say that he's ok with it cos he really wasnt comfortable with the whole cooking pork at home issue. and he also said that it was his first time smelling pork back in his frens place that night and he dint know he would have such big reaction to it like getting dinnnnnnnnnnnnnnzzzz and all. hahaha. but then i said that i am also paying for rent and i have the right to cook it just as long as he's not around and also i will air and ventilate it out la. then after that he was like okkkkkkkkkkkkkk with it 'for now'. ahah

so just for fun, what would you say to some1 like that if you were me. i really would like to hear your responses and advise as well. thanks

take care and God Bless
