Hunting For Pie

Mid way through an excellent first episode premiere and second episode of 'House' in its new season and some old episodes of 'My Name Is Earl', I was hit by this intense craving for pie. The sweet sort. Apple preferably, but really, any sort would do. It was a full-on craving.

My eyes saw pies floating across the room. I could literally taste the pie in my mouth except that I had nothing to chew on. Boo.

The fridge had lots of dessert choices except pie. The ones that the friends gave which had been frozen and rationed were all eaten up. I was so so sad. But it was alright. I could just go to sleep and grab pie in the morning. But the man ran off and drove out to every convenience store and petrol station in a 2-km radius on a pie hunt. Forget Mustafa Centre or the 24-hr Cold Storage. Too far!!! But at this time, getting a pie easy was quite an exercise in futility. We could, however, get char kway teow or nasi lemak easily.

We couldn't very well knock on our friends' doors and ask for pie at this hour. They'll just like die, laughing, I swear.

In the end, the man came back with 2 apple pies from McDonald's. Beggars really can't be choosers!

I tell you, the fakey McDonald's apple pie topped with Tillamook's vanilla bean ice-cream never tasted so good. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. A craving satisfied feels like an absolute high.

PS: We've no more pie in the fridge, Dawnie. :(

Wow, seriously!McD's pie! ;)

I went to sleep last night with a very bland-I-need-to-eat-something feeling. But was too lazy to hunt for anything.
I was more like thinking...murtabak.
