Another positive outcome of the MCO is stronger ties between neighbours. We have always enjoyed a good relationship with the family on our left, but as we are busy with our own lives, we rarely socialise and make small talk. During this MCO, we actually made a point to see if the other party is in need of anything. When I went out to the pharmacy, I enquired if Mrs. Lee required any items. And two days ago, Mr. Lee whatsapped me to ask if I needed any seafood as he was ordering some from his regular fishmonger, who was willing to deliver to our houses for a small fee.
As a result, I was able to serve hubby with these really big and fresh prawns tonight. RM65 yielded 26 of these little monsters, and I kept half for another meal. It was sheer delight to see hubby savouring each crustacean.

Some time during the afternoon, whilst at work, hubby sent me a picture of steamed brinjals that we had earlier. He was dropping a hint. I was surprised at the telepathy that we seemed to share, as that was exactly what I had in mind for tonight.
